Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 70 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with newly diagnosed primary central nervous system diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

Who may be able to join

  • Age 18-70 years at diagnosis
  • Histologically or cytologically verified diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the central nervous system (CNS)
  • No prior treatment for PCNSL (pre-treatment corticosteroids are allowed and recommended)
  • Fit for standard of care (SOC) 1st line therapy with a curative intent such as full-dose MATRix, according to local policy
  • Able to give voluntary written informed consent
  • If the patient is temporarily incapacitated to give the voluntary written informed consent, due to PCNSL, the informed consent can be obtained from a legally acceptable representative, according to the International Conference on Harmonisation of technical requirements for registration of pharmaceuticals for human use - Guideline for Good Clinical Practice (ICH-GCP) guidelines

Who cannot join

  • Lymphoma outside the CNS
  • History of prior hematological malignancy e.g. low grade B-cell lymphoma
  • Psychiatric illness or condition, other than PCNSL, which could interfere with the ability to understand the requirements of the study

About this study

This is an international, prospective, multicenter trial with the aim of characterizing circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) for early response assessment in PCNSL patients treated with standard of care (SOC) 1st line therapy with a curative intent (Figure 1). Secondary endpoints are to assess the clinical characteristics, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), neurological status, and outcome of newly diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) patients in the Nordic countries. Patients eligible for a curative intent SOC 1st line therapy, such as MATRix + high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDCT/ASCT), are eligible for the trial. Diagnostic tumor tissue, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and plasma samples are collected for ctDNA and translational analyses with the aim describing new prognostic and predictive biomarkers. Treatment responses are assessed with the International PCNSL Collaborative Group (IPCG) response criteria, and diagnostic and response assessment magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images are centrally analyzed in order to describe new prognostic and predictive markers.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Primary Central Nervous System (CNS) Lymphoma, run by Nordic Lymphoma Group at 5 sites in Finland.

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 6 inclusion and 3 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Finland. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Marjukka Pollari, MD, PhD (+358 3 311 611, marjukka.pollari@pirha.fi), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ctDNA (time frame: 6 months from initiation of 1st line therapy). 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 1 Jan 2025.
