Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who are expected to survive for more than six months.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with other malignant tumors or serious medical conditions that may affect their participation will 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 investigates how effective PET imaging targeting granzyme B can predict the outcomes for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) undergoing immunotherapy. Participants will be numbered and their medical records will be created, documenting essential information such as age, gender, and medical history. Each participant will undergo a PET scan using a 68Ga-grazytracer both at the start and after one course of immunotherapy, which may include CAR-T, Glofitamab, or iR2. The goal is to determine the correlation between granzyme B levels and treatment efficacy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could help identify which patients are most likely to benefit from immunotherapy, leading to more personalized treatment plans.
How similar studies have gone: While the predictive value of PET imaging in immunotherapy is an emerging field, similar studies have shown promise in other cancers, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
