NCT04226937

Brief Summary

The aim of the DIRECT Study is to establish a robust pipeline to identify those patients with high-grade B cell lymphoma most suitable for novel agent clinical trials based upon genomic subtype and an integrated response evaluation determined early in first-line therapy.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Establish a robust molecular monitoring pipeline.

    3-5 years

  • Successful identification of trackable mutations in collected samples. Feasibility will be met if more than 75% of the samples yield trackable mutations across the whole study.

    3-5 years

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Assess the utility of serial ctDNA assessment as a predicator of clinical outcome in high-grade B cell lymphoma.

    5 years

  • Assess the utility of integrated data from clinical risk factors (IPI), up-front genotype, serial ctDNA response and radiological assessment (CT or PET-CT).

    3-5 years

  • When the pipeline is optimised can these 4 parameters be available within 6 weeks, i.e. by completion of Cycle 2.

    3-5 years

Other Outcomes (2)

  • Identification of the de novo somatic variants in high-grade B cell lymphoma from collected ctDNA and tissue samples.

    3-5 years

  • Assess the utility of ctDNA to track clonal evolution in patients undergoing treatment for high-grade B cell lymphoma.

    3-5 years

Interventions

Patients will take their normal standard of care treatment for their lymphoma, as per agreed with the patient's doctor. Blood samples will be collected at Baseline, during the first 3 cycles of Treatment, at End of Treatment, at 6- and 12-months after End of Treatment and at relapse/progression if applicable. Surplus Tissue biopsy will be collected at Baseline and at relapse/progression if applicable. In rare cases research-specific tissue biopsy may be collected if appropriate.

Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

Patients with diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) or closely related high-grade B cell lymphomas including, but not limited to: * DLBCL NOS * Transformed follicular lymphoma * High grade B cell lymphoma with rearrangement of BCL2/BCL6 and MYC * Plasmablastic lymphoma * Primary Mediastinal Large Cell lymphoma * Burkitt lymphoma * Primary Central Nervous System lymphoma * High grade B cell lymphoma NOS Undergoing Standard of Care treatment for their lymphoma.

You may not qualify if:

  • Unable to receive immunochemotherapy as first-line therapy due to co-morbidity or personal choice.
  • Patients who have already started high dose steroids as a treatment for their lymphoma.
  • Known diagnosis of infectious blood-borne virus e.g. Hep B, Hep C or HIV.
