About this study

Official title: EBV-associated Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma NOS in Non Immunocompromised Patients : a French Retrospective Case Study

The aim of this study is to characterize and compare clinical, pathological (histology, immunophenotype) and molecular features of EBV-related GZL and DLBCL: do they belong to the same entity or to two different subtypes of EBV-related lymphoma ?

Read the detailed description

Recent progresses in the understanding of lymphoma biology allowed the identification of new categories in the WHO classification of lymphoid neoplasm. Among these new entities, grey zone lymphoma (GZL) between classical Hodgkin lymphoma and diffuse large B cell lymphoma entered the classification as a provisional entity in 2008 and Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) EBV-associated not otherwise specified in patient without history of immunodepression in 2016. These entities need however to be further characterized as no clear pathological definition and distinction between EBV related GZL and EBV related DLBCL are proposed in the literature.

After primary infection that occurs in almost 80% of young adult population in western country, EBV latency state settles in a small portion of B cells. The virus is known to promote B-cells proliferation and transformation through complex mechanisms.

EBV-associated lymphoproliferative disorders have already been largely studied in immunocompromised host (human immunodeficiency virus, congenital immunodeficiency, immunosuppressor and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder, e.g.), but its role is largely unknown in patients with no history of immunodeficiency. Whether these patients arbor an underlying type of immune deficiency has not yet been established, even though immunosenecence in elderly or immaturity of the immune system in children has been postulated in those population.

Based on former definition, EBV-associated lymphoproliferation were usually the apanage of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) or immunodeficiency-associated lymphoproliferative disorders. However, as published recently, several different histological patterns with intermediate features between primary mediastinal B cell lymphoma (PMBCL) and classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), namely grey zone lymphoma (GZL), but also diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) were described to be EBV-associated. On the clinical point of view, patients with GZL are young and have a poor prognosis. Data regarding EBV+ DLBCL are discordant and further studies are warranted, even though initial report concluded to a poor prognosis for these patients.

What participants receive

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

  • clinical and pathological data EBV-related GZL and DLBCLOther

    Invesrigators will retrospectively collect clinical and pathological data of all EBV-related GZL and DLBCL in immunocompetent patients diagnosed in the pathology department Centre Hospitalier Lyon Sud.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of To Characterize and Compare Clinical, Pathological and Molecular Features, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Feb 2019. 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 France. 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?

status at last follow up (time frame: up to 48 months). 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 Feb 2019.
