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.
