About this study

Official title: Observational Retrospective Multicenter Study for the Citofluorimetric Analysis of Cerebrospinal Fluid Vs Conventional Method in Patients With Aggressive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Without Leptomeningeal Disease

The purpose of this study is to define if flow cytometry has more sensitivity for detecting neoplastic cells in cerebrospinal fluid versus conventional cytology.

Read the detailed description

Aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL), Lymphoblastic Lymphoma and Burkitt's Lymphoma are at high risk of CNS relapse. For this reason is recommended a prophylaxis therapy. This suggests that negative leptomeningeal localization patients at diagnosis are really positive and that would be a very high risk of CNS relapse subtype patients. It's very important detecting neoplastic cells in cerebrospinal fluid as soon as possible. This study will evaluate only patients that have been flow cytometry and cytology at diagnosis.

Medical subject headings
Lymphoma, Large B-Cell, Diffuse, Precursor Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia-Lymphoma, Burkitt Lymphoma

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluation of diagnostic agreement of citofluorimentria flow in the research of lymphoma cells in the cerebrospinal fluid vs cell morphology.

    Evaluation of diagnostic agreement of citofluorimentria flow in the research of lymphoma cells in the cerebrospinal fluid vs cell morphology. The second test will be performed independently and without the cytologist is aware of the outcome of the analysis by flow cytometry.

    Measured: Evaluation at diagnosis

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Collection of all paper forms

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diffuse Large Cell Lymphoma and Lymphoblastic Lymphoma, run by Gruppo Italiano Multiregionale per lo studio dei Linfomi e delle Leucemie at 12 sites in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluation of diagnostic agreement of citofluorimentria flow in the research of lymphoma cells in the cerebrospinal fluid vs cell morphology. (time frame: Evaluation at diagnosis). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Oct 2013.
