Metabolism in the Lymphatic Niche of CLL
Official title: Study of the Metabolic Reprogramming of CLL Cells in Ex-vivo Models of the Lymphatic Niche
Run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice · NCT05610228 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study looks at how the lymphatic environment affects metabolism in people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) to see if it influences disease behavior.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with cytologically and phenotypically diagnosed CLL (Matutes score) who are untreated and able to provide informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have an alternative diagnosis, are HIV positive, have active hepatitis B or C, have had an allogeneic transplant, or have a progressive/remitted solid cancer within 3 years may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to understand how the lymphatic niche supports CLL cell growth and glycolytic activity. It includes adults with untreated CLL and examines biological features in the lymphatic environment without any experimental intervention. The investigation is centered on patterns of metabolism and disease biology in the lymphatic tissues of participants treated at Nice University Hospital. No treatment or interventional procedures are performed as part of the study, focusing on observational data collection. The findings may shed light on how the tumor microenvironment relates to disease progression and metabolic activity.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: New insights into how the lymphatic niche influences CLL metabolism could inform future strategies for prognosis or therapy.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research suggests tumor microenvironment factors can relate to metabolic activity in CLL, but direct studies of the lymphatic niche metabolism are less established.

Rocbrutinib versus pirtobrutinib for adults with relapsed or refractory CLL/SLL after a covalent BTK inhibitor
This compares rocbrutinib and pirtobrutinib to see which works better and is safer for adults whose CLL or SLL returned or didn't respond after a covalent BTK inhibitor.

BAFF-R CAR-T therapy for relapsed or refractory BAFF-R–positive B-cell lymphoma
This trial will test whether a BAFF‑R–targeted CAR‑T cell therapy is safe and can help adults with relapsed or refractory BAFF‑R–positive B‑cell lymphomas (such as DLBCL, CLL, FL, MCL, or WM).
-
Anti‑CD19 CAR‑T plus a BTK inhibitor for newly diagnosed high‑risk CLL/SLL
We will try combining anti‑CD19 CAR‑T cells with a BTK inhibitor as first‑line treatment for people newly diagnosed with high‑risk CLL or SLL.

Epcoritamab given after 2nd-generation BTK inhibitors for CLL/SLL
This trial will try giving subcutaneous epcoritamab for up to 12 cycles to adults with CLL/SLL who have been on a second‑generation BTK inhibitor for at least 12 months to see if it can deepen responses to a complete remission with undetectable MRD so therapy can be stopped.
