Military study probes Toxins' role in lymphoma
NCT ID NCT07652580
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This observational study is recruiting 300 active-duty service members and military beneficiaries diagnosed with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Researchers want to understand how exposure to toxins, genetic differences, and immune system problems are linked to this cancer. Participants will fill out surveys, give blood or skin samples, and may be followed for up to three years.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this research could identify specific toxins or genetic factors linked to B-cell NHL, potentially guiding future prevention or early detection strategies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not find clear links, and results may not apply to non-military populations.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age 4 years old and older with a clinical diagnosis of B-cell NHL. * Must be willing to undergo phlebotomy and/or skin punch biopsy. * Must be willing to undergo whole genome sequencing, which includes return of primary and secondary findings. Exclusion Criteria: * Has any condition that, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, contraindicates participation in this study. Examples of situation that may contraindicate participation include but are not limited to a) some cases of cerebral vascular accidents where an individual no longer has the capacity to make their own medical decisions and a conservator or responsible family member is not available and b) an individual has active suicidal ideation and is a danger to themselves at the time of enrollment. * Does not have access to health care and primary care clinician. * Actively undergoing induction treatment for NHL.
