About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Peripheral Blood (PB) Immunophenotyping in the Detection of Bone Marrow Involvement in Cases of Follicular Lymphoma (FL), Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) and Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL).

To determine whether peripheral blood flow cytometry can reduce or replace invasive bone marrow examinations in patients with slow growing lymphomas.

Read the detailed description

This study will determine whether peripheral blood flow cytometry can reduce or replace invasive bone marrow examinations in patients with slow growing lymphomas.

Patients with certain types of slow growing (indolent) lymphomas, including the most common sub-type, follicular lymphoma, require a bone marrow examination for staging of their lymphoma. This provides prognostic information and can be important for planning treatment. However, despite the use of local anaesthetic, and in some cases sedation, bone marrow examinations can cause pain and discomfort to patients. Complications are rare but include risk of bleeding, infection and even nerve damage.

Flow cytometry of peripheral blood samples can detect low levels of circulating lymphoma cells. A previous study has demonstrated that detection of lymphoma cells by peripheral blood flow cytometry has a good correlation with bone marrow involvement. This study will seek to find if this correlation is evident in a larger, statistically significant patient cohort. Depending on the study results, invasive and painful bone marrow procedures could potentially be reduced or eliminated in patients with certain slow growing lymphomas. Patients diagnosed with follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma or marginal zone lymphoma and being treated at the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust will be eligible for this study. Participation in the study will require one peripheral blood sample to be taken before the patient's routine bone marrow biopsy. The study is expected to last between 2 - 3 years for data collection of 108 samples.

What is being measured

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

  1. Positive predictive value of PB flow cytometry compared to BM

    The primary outcome measure for this study is the positive predictive value of peripheral blood flow cytometry when compared with bone marrow biopsy in determining bone marrow involvement in patients with FL, MCL and MZL.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Negative predictive value of PB flow cytometry compared to BM

    The secondary outcome measures for this study are negative predictive value, sensitivity and specificity of peripheral blood flow cytometry when compared with bone marrow biopsy in determining bone marrow involvement in patients with FL, MCL and MZL.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Follicular Lymphoma (FL) and Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL), run by Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust at 2 sites in United Kingdom.

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 5 inclusion and 2 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 29 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United Kingdom. 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?

Contact Lorna Smith (020 8915 6187, lorna.smith2@rmh.nhs.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Positive predictive value of PB flow cytometry compared to BM (time frame: 3 years). 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 29 Aug 2017.
