Trial summary

1. Develop a Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) workflow for mutation profiling of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) specimens. 2. Calculate the proportion of cases in a test series of B-cell non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (BNHL) with somatic mutations or immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH)… Read more about this study

About this study

  1. Develop a Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) workflow for mutation profiling of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) specimens.
  2. Calculate the proportion of cases in a test series of B-cell non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (BNHL) with somatic mutations or immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) gene rearrangements common to both FPPE and cfDNA specimens.
  3. Determine if certain types of BNHL are more likely to have mutation profiles common to both FFPE \& corresponding cfDNA ("FFPE-cfDNA dyads")
  4. Determine if specific mutations or mutation profiles in FFPE or cfDNA specimens (or both) are of prognostic value after a clinical follow-up of 2 years from the time of diagnosis.
Read the detailed description

Patients with newly diagnosed B cell NHL will be identified. Samples will be cored from their diagnostic FFPE blocks and assayed to find lymphoma specific variants and immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangements. Blood samples collected at baseline will be compared to see if variants and rearrangements can be detected in tumor specific DNA based on previous studies. Participant data will be collected, and clinical outcomes will be assessed to determine effect of mutation profiles on outcomes over 2 year follow up.

Blood samples will be prospectively collected at scheduled follow up and if primary objectives of this study are met, will be assessed for presence of cfDNA and impact of variation on clinical outcomes.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT02788084
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
B cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma18 years of age or older with new diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma with FFPE specimen demonstrating enough tissue for elucidation of lymphoma specific variant and immunoglobulin clonotype, willing to provide baseline and follow up bloodwork to look for presence of variant and clonotype.

What is being measured

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

  1. 2 year Progression Free Survival

    Recorded in percentage. To determine impact of lymphoma specific mutation on outcome.

    Measured: 2 years from diagnosis of B cell non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

  2. 2 year Overall Survival

    Recorded in percentage. To determine impact of lymphoma specific mutation on outcome.

    Measured: 2 years from diagnosis of B cell non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

  3. Occurrence of lymphoma specific mutations or detectable IgH rearrangements in circulating tumor specific DNA in blood samples at baseline

    Proportion of cases of BNHL with somatic mutations or IgH gene rearrangements detectable in blood. Will be recorded in percentage, and determined at baseline.

    Measured: Determined at baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, run by Alberta Health Services, Calgary at 1 site in Canada.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2020. 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 Canada. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

2 year Progression Free Survival (time frame: 2 years from diagnosis of B cell non-Hodgkin Lymphoma). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Jan 2020.
