About this study

Official title: The Impact of the Epstein-Barr Virus Status on Clinical Outcome in Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma

The investigators analyzed clinical outcome in DLBCL patients according to age group to define the impact of EBV status on the clinical outcome.

Read the detailed description

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has been recognized as a new provisional entity in the 2008 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumors of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissue. This lymphoma is defined as EBV+ clonal B-cell proliferation in immunocompetent adults older than 50 years. To denote patient age in definition of this disease, age cutoff was defined as older than 50 years. However, this cutoff is clearly arbitrary without any scientific background. the knowledge on EBV+DLBCL in young adult is very scanty. This EBV+DLBCL in young adult can be the same disease entity or it can be a distinct disease form EBV+DLBCL of elderly.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 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 12 Feb 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. 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?

overall survival (time frame: Two years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02060435, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Feb 2014.
