Can blood tests and scans track lymphoma in real time? new study aims to find out.
NCT ID NCT07514715
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test whether doctors can quickly and accurately monitor minimal residual disease (tiny amounts of cancer left after treatment) in people with aggressive B-cell lymphoma. Researchers will use blood tests to look for tumor DNA and PET scans to see if results can be delivered within strict time limits. The goal is to see if this real-time monitoring approach is feasible, not to test a new treatment. About 129 participants will be enrolled.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- blood test for ctDNA analysis
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could enable doctors to track cancer more accurately during treatment, potentially leading to better-tailored therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early feasibility study, not testing a new treatment. It may show that real-time monitoring is not practical or does not improve outcomes.

Inclusion criteria Participants must meet all of the following criteria to be included in the study: 1. Participant who understands and voluntarily signs an informed consent form prior to any study-specific assessment or procedure. 2. Age 18 or older at the time of signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF) 3. Histologically confirmed diagnosis, according to the WHO 2022 classification, of any of the following lymphomas: Aggressive B-cell lymphoma, including: * Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, unspecified (DLBCL not specified) * High-grade B-cell lymphoma (LBHG), including: 1. With rearrangements of the MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 genes (double/triple hit) 2. Unspecified (i.e., no double/triple rearrangement) * Primary B-cell lymphoma of the mediastinum (PMBL) * Transformed indolent B-cell lymphoma, including: 1. Transformed follicular lymphoma (LFt) 2. Transformed marginal zone lymphoma (t-MZL) 3. Transformed, unspecified nodal or splenic B-cell lymphomas (NOS) 4. Presence of a measurable disease on pre-therapeutic PET imaging, defined as at least one two-dimensional measurable nodal lesion, defined as \> 1.5 cm in its largest dimension (and FDG-greedy lesion), or at least one two-dimensional measurable extranodal lesion, defined as \> 1.0 cm in its largest dimension (and FDG-hungry lesion). 5. Requiring standard first-line systemic treatment with curative intent 6. Person covered by a social security scheme 7. Person able to understand and speak French. Exclusion criteria Participants who meet any of the criteria below will not be eligible for inclusion / should be excluded from the study: 1. Systemic anticancer treatment of current lymphoma prior to inclusion in the study. All participants must be previously untreated for current lymphoma. Note: Short-term corticosteroid therapy (e.g., for symptom control or as part of diagnostic workup) is allowed prior to inclusion and is not an exclusion criterion. 2. Lymphomas associated with an immuno-privileged site (e.g., primary central nervous system lymphoma, primary testicular lymphoma, primary vitreoretinal lymphoma). 3. Absence of mandatory blood sampling for the analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) during screening (pre-therapeutic sampling). 4. Absence of 18F-FDG PET examination performed within 2 months ≤ the date of signing the consent (mandatory pre-therapeutic PET imaging). 5. Pregnant, intending to be pregnant, or breastfeeding woman of childbearing potential 6. Any significant medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness that may interfere with participation in this clinical study (in the opinion of the investigator) 7. Person deprived of liberty by judicial or administrative decision 8. Person hospitalized without their consent 9. Adult under legal protection
