Comparing metabolic and immune profiles in primary CNS diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma

Official title: Differential Analysis of Primary Central Nervous System Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Based on Metabolomics and Immunomics

Run by Fujian Medical University · NCT07188077 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study will test whether people with primary CNS diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma have different metabolic and immune patterns compared with lymphoma patients without CNS involvement and with healthy donors.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–75 with newly diagnosed, treatment‑naïve primary CNS diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma who can provide informed consent and have complete imaging and pathology data are the intended participants.

Probably not a fit

Patients with other active systemic malignancies, severe infections or organ failure, recent antimetabolite or chemotherapy use, pregnant or lactating women, or those with serious psychiatric or cognitive impairment are unlikely to benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective cohort study comparing metabolic and immunomic features between newly diagnosed primary CNS diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma patients, pathologically confirmed DLBCL patients without CNS involvement, and age- and sex-matched healthy donors. Baseline clinical information and biological samples will be collected, with PCNSL patients required to be treatment‑naïve at baseline. PCNSL participants will be followed every three months and asked to return sooner if symptoms develop. Laboratory analyses will profile metabolic signatures and immune characteristics to identify differences associated with CNS involvement.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the work could reveal metabolic or immune markers that improve diagnosis, prognosis, or guide more targeted therapies for patients with PCNSL.

How similar studies have gone: Molecular and immune profiling has produced useful biomarkers in systemic DLBCL, but applying metabolic and immunomic analyses specifically to PCNSL is relatively novel and not yet widely validated.
