Can a simple blood test spot lymphoma earlier?
NCT ID NCT07750886
First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study gathers blood and leftover tissue samples from 200 people newly diagnosed with aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including types like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and T-cell lymphoma. The samples are used to develop and validate blood-based tests that could monitor cancer and detect its return. Participants provide up to 60 mL of blood and allow use of tissue from standard procedures. The goal is to improve how lymphoma is tracked and managed.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Blood and residual tissue sample collection for research (no drug or device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better blood tests for monitoring and detecting non-Hodgkin lymphoma, potentially improving how the disease is tracked and managed.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage sample collection study, not a treatment trial. The tests developed may not prove accurate or useful in clinical practice, and results are uncertain.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patient is at least 18 years of age or older. 2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤ 2. 3. Patients who are able to consent to and provide residual tumor tissue for research. Bone marrow specimens are excluded as acceptable tumor tissue. 4. Patients with a new diagnosis of Stage I to IV aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) including all aggressive large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL, HGBCL, PMBCL), T-cell lymphoma (PTCL, ALCL), follicular lymphoma (FL) grade 3B, or transformed FL. 5. Patients who are planning to receive six cycles of first-line therapy with an anthracycline-based chemotherapy regimen as per the standard of care. 6. Radiographically measurable disease with at least one hypermetabolic lesion by Lugano classification on baseline FDG PET/CT or FDG PET (radiographically measurable disease by CT with intravenous contrast is allowed if FDG-PET/CT is not available). 7. Able to tolerate blood draws according to Natera standard process. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Diagnosis of an indolent lymphoma that does not require immediate intervention, Hodgkin lymphoma, small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Other NHL diagnoses beyond DLBCL, aggressive TCLs, and grade 3B or transformed FL. 2. Diagnosis of aggressive NHL that has a circulating, leukemic component, bone marrow or blood involvement. 3. History of an allogeneic stem cell transplant or other organ transplant. 4. Prior history and treatment for any cancer within the past year or another active cancer, with the exception of participants who have undergone surgical removal of skin squamous cell or basal cell cancers. 5. Clinical ctDNA-MRD testing by any platform. 6. Concurrent treatment that includes an investigational agent.
