Assessing lymphoma treatment response using advanced DNA analysis
Official title: Early Assessment of Aggressive B-Cell Lymphoma Treatment Response and Prediction of Recurrence Using Phased Variant Analysis With Next-Generation Sequencing
Run by National Taiwan University Hospital · NCT06550427 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if analyzing DNA from blood can help doctors see how well treatment is working for patients with aggressive B-cell lymphoma without using radiation from scans.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older with pathology-proven aggressive B-cell lymphoma.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with non-aggressive forms of lymphoma or those under 18 years old may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on evaluating the treatment response in patients with aggressive B-cell lymphoma through the analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) using phased variant analysis and next-generation sequencing (NGS). The study aims to provide a safer alternative to traditional imaging methods like CT and PET scans, which involve radiation exposure. By analyzing ctDNA, researchers hope to gain insights into the molecular characteristics of the tumor and the patient's clinical status, potentially leading to more accurate early assessments of treatment efficacy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to safer and more effective monitoring of lymphoma treatment responses, improving patient outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While the use of ctDNA analysis is gaining traction, this specific approach using phased variant analysis in lymphoma treatment response assessment is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
