About this study

The aim of the study is to compare the diagnostic performance of whole-body MRI scan, positron emission tomography + CT, and circulating tumor DNA in patients with hematologic malignancy called diffuse large cell B lymphoma (DLBCL) in staging and restaging, and prognosis.

Read the detailed description

Patients newly diagnosed with DLBCL or patients with relapsed DLBCL who consent to participate in this study will apart from standard staging and restaging examination with PET/CT undergo whole-body MRI (wbMRI). From blood samples, the level of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) fragments will be estimated. These procedures will be repeated during restaging after primary treatment. The diagnostic accuracy of wbMRI in initial staging and restaging will be compared with PET/CT as the gold standard. Circulating tumor DNA levels will be compared at baseline with staging from PET/CT. The change in levels of ctDNA will be compared with the treatement response assessed by PET/CT. All three methods will be used as prognostic indicators.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic accuracy of whole-body MRI in staging of DLBCL

    Comparison of diagnostic accuracy of whole-body MRI in staging of DLBCL in newly diagnosed adult patients before treatment compared to PET/CT as the gold standard

    Measured: at baseline

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Diagnostic value of MRI sequences

    Rating of the diagnostic utility of MRI sequences used in whole body MRI in staging of DLBCL in newly diagnosed adult patients before treatment

    Measured: At baseline

  2. Assessment of therapeutic response

    The assessment of therapeutic response by wbMRI after first-line treatment will be compared to that of PET/CT. Change in circulating tumor DNA will be correlated with therapeutic response assessed by PET/CT.

    Measured: after completion of first-line treatment, on average 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lymphoma, Diffuse Large B-Cell, run by Charles University, Czech Republic at 1 site in Czechia.

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 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 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 1 site in Czechia. 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?

Diagnostic accuracy of whole-body MRI in staging of DLBCL (time frame: at baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06777290, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Jan 2025.
