About this study

Official title: ProLyPhy-GEP : Pesticide Associated Lymphomas: Expression of Treatment Resistance Genes

Lymphomagenesis is partially known, and some risk factor are identified like those inducing immune deficiencies: chronic exposure to HIV, immune suppressor therapies or commun variable immunodeficiency. Parts of the mechanisms leading to NHL development after pesticide exposure are the disruption of immune surveillance against cancer cell. Pro-oncogenic action of metabolites is the most important mechanisms of action for pesticides. Thus, pesticides are metabolized in pro-oxidant compounds disturbing the redox homeostasis in the haematopoietic and immune cells precursors, promoting proliferation and survival, and inducing DNA breaks. Some of them induce direct DNA breaks and non-conform reparation, leading to activation of oncogenes; and other induces transcription factors for oncogenic signalling pathways. DNA reparation and adaptation to a higher ROS level are associated with resistance against cytotoxic chemotherapy treatment with induction of detoxification mechanism by tumour cells.

That DNA repair pathways, which are targeted by chemotherapy could also explain a part of chemo-resistance. It was therefore suggested that DLBCL dependence to specific DNA repair pathways could be targeted to hamper repair of intrinsic DNA damage occurring during B-lymphoma cells proliferation or to increase DNA damage induced by chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

Occupational exposure to pesticides is associated with higher incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) The relative risk for NHL after occupational exposure to pesticide is 1.5 to 3, with little variation according to NHL subtypes. DLBCL is one of the most frequent subtypes of NHL and characterized by aggressive presentation. DLBCL is treated by chemotherapy based on anthracyclines combined with an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody allowing complete response and long term remission in 65-70% of patients. The response rate to treatment and clinical outcome is depending of the DLBCL subtype. There are 3 of them depending of the cell of origin (germinal centre B cell or activated B cell), and the anatomical location (primary mediastinal) identified by molecular gene expression profile. The activated B cell subtype have a worse outcome.

Lymphomagenesis is partially known, and some risk factor are identified like those inducing immune deficiencies: chronic exposure to HIV, immune suppressor therapies or commun variable immunodeficiency. Parts of the mechanisms leading to NHL development after pesticide exposure are the disruption of immune surveillance against cancer cell. Pro-oncogenic action of metabolites is the most important mechanisms of action for pesticides. Thus, pesticides are metabolized in pro-oxidant compounds disturbing the redox homeostasis in the haematopoietic and immune cells precursors, promoting proliferation and survival, and inducing DNA breaks.

It was therefore suggested that DLBCL dependence to specific DNA repair pathways could be targeted to hamper repair of intrinsic DNA damage occurring during B-lymphoma cells proliferation or to increase DNA damage induced by chemotherapy.

The investigators hypothesize that actions of pesticides on DNA and redox homeostasis are critical events during lymphomagenesis. We supposed that specific mechanisms of DNA repair and antioxidant defences induced by pesticides exposure are implicated in the chemo-resistance in DLBCL patients.

There might be a negative impact of professional exposure to pesticide on treatment response.

In this search, the investigators will explore a comprehensive view of both lymphomagenesis and adverse prognosis of pesticide-exposed DLBCL. The investigators plan to analyse the molecular profile of B-lymphoma cells from pesticide-exposed patients, to better understand biological mechanisms underlying lymphomagenesis as well as chemotherapy resistance

What is being measured

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

  1. genes implicated in chemoresistance of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

    Use of excesses of the biopsy made as part of the care for the diagnostic of the lymphoma for identify genes implicated in chemoresistance of DLBCL

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lymphoma Diffuse Large B-cell, run by University Hospital, Montpellier 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 5 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 18 Apr 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?

genes implicated in chemoresistance of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (time frame: 1 day). 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 18 Apr 2019.
