Measuring Cell-Free DNA (cfDNA) Levels in People With Follicular Lymphoma Phase 1 100

Recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT04468841 is designed to study Diagnostic for Follicular Lymphoma. It is a Phase 1 interventional study that is recruiting, having started on 8 July 2020, with plans to enroll 100 participants. Led by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, it is expected to complete by 1 July 2026. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 19 August 2025.
Brief Summary
The researchers are doing this study to measure and test cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the blood before, during, and after first-line treatment for follicular lymphoma. They will look at whether cfDNA levels are related to a person's response to the usual first-line treatment for follicular lymphoma. Researchers also want to understand how different genetic changes in follicular lymphoma relate to a person's response to t...Show More
Detailed Description
This is a non-therapeutic protocol aimed to assess the ability of the s cfDNA assay to detect clinical response in FL when compared to conventional approaches for assessing response, such as PET-CT scans.

Study assessments will include: 1) identification of the mutations present in the primary tumor, 2) identification of these mutations in the peripheral blood samples collected before initiation of standard therapy,...

Arms / Interventions
Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
ExperimentalProspective Group
Study participants with untreated, newly diagnosed follicular lymphoma will have blood collected for cfDNA testing before, during, and after their first-line treatment or observation period
cfDNA testing
peripheral blood samples collected before initiation of standard therapy, after 2 cycles of therapy, at the completion of 6-8 cycles of induction therapy, and then every 6 months for a total of 2 years from the initiation of therapy using a cfDNA assay. For retrospective patients, blood samples will be collected once.
sample of saliva or fingernail clipping
collected in clinic one time
pre-treatment test specimen
From bone marrow, blood, lymph node, or alternate site to identify tumor-specific mutations. For retrospective patients initial tumor tissue (if available).
PET/CT, CT, or MRI testing
PET/CT scans are required at baseline and at the patient's end-of-treatment visit. The other standard-of-care scan timepoints can be performed using PET/CT, dedicated CT, or MRI per the treating investigator's discretion.
ExperimentalRetrospective Group
Study participants who have received first-line treatment for follicular lymphoma and are in complete remission will have blood collected for cfDNA testing. In the retrospective cohort, MSKCC patients with CRs lasting ≥10 years after induction therapy will be studied. Initial tumor tissue (if available) will be collected to examine the status of s cfDNA in patients with long-term remissions. Blood samples will be col...Show More

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
whether the assay can correctly identify presence of disease in patients with measurable disease
Response will be evaluated using the updated response criteria entitled, "The Lugano Classification" system. The investigator will use of the 5-point scale for visually assessing response on the pre- and end-of-treatment FDGPET/CT scans. This scale is commonly referred to as the Deauville criteria; it was developed by international experts in the field at the First International Workshop on interim-PET in Lymphoma in Deauville in 2009 and is routinely applied to patients undergoing lymphoma directed therapy. The 5-point scale is described in the table below. 1 No residual uptake 2 Uptake ≤ mediastinum 3 Uptake \> mediastinum but ≤ liver 4 Uptake moderately \> liver 5 Markedly increased uptake at any site or progression
