Brief Summary

This trial is a translational, prospective, open-label, monocentric research. The study will be conducted in a population of 60 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) for whom first-line treatment with R-CHOP is planned as part of their standard of care. SIMILY program aims at identifying biomarkers and/or molecular signatures related to immuno-phenotypic and -genotypic characteristics of the tumor and immune microenvironment, at the time of diagnosis, during R-CHOP, and at 24 months or time of progression. Each patient will be followed during 2 years.

Conditions

Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma

Keywords

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; R-CHOP treatment; Biomarker; Single-cell sequencing

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Levels of ctDNA to determine if it reflect the disease evolution of patient with DLBCL treated in first line.

  24 months for each patient

• Levels of tumor tissue biomarkers to determine if it reflect the disease evolution of patient with DLBCL treated in first line.

  Tumor tissue biomarkers will be identified by ScRNA sequencing and targeted NGS.

  24 months for each patient

• Levels of blood biomarkers to determine if it reflect the disease evolution of patient with DLBCL treated in first line.

  Blood biomarkers will be identified by ScRNA sequencing.

  24 months for each patient

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Levels of tumor tissue biomarkers compared to clinical data in the prediction of treatment response.

  24 months for each patient

• Levels of blood biomarkers compared to clinical data in the prediction of treatment response.

  24 months for each patient

• Levels of ctDNA compared to conventional PET imaging (at the standard time points) in the prediction of treatment response.

  24 months for each patient

Study Arms (1)

Patient with histologically confirmed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

OTHER

Other: Patient with histologically confirmed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with a planned first line treatment by R-CHOP.

Interventions

Patient with histologically confirmed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with a planned first line treatment by R-CHOP. OTHER

Blood samples will be collected : * at baseline (before the 1st R-CHOP cycle) * before the 3d administration of chemotherapy (CT) (i.e. after 2 cycles of CT and same timepoint as interim FDG-PET/CT) * after the 4th administration of the CT * at the end of induction (i.e. end of R-CHOP treatment) * at 24 months after initiation of R-CHOP treatment * at the time of progression (if progression occurs before 24 months of treatment). Tumor samples will be collected at baseline (from an archived initial diagnostic tumor specimen) and at the time of progression (if applicable from lymph node biopsy performed as part of a standard of care surgical procedure). Bone marrow samples will be collected at baseline and at the time of progression (if applicable) only in patients for whom a bone marrow aspiration (BMA) is necessary as part of their standard of care, upon physician's decision.

Patient with histologically confirmed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
