The Connect® Lymphoma Disease Registry is a US-based, multicenter, prospective observational (non-interventional) cohort study designed to collect real-world, participant-level data longitudinally in participants diagnosed with various subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).

This Disease Registry is designed to capture the patient characteristics, practice patterns, and therapeutic strategies evaluated in community and academic centers when treating relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and R/R follicular lymphoma (FL). The data collected in this Registry will facilitate the evaluation of the current treatment landscape for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), including the clinical effectiveness, safety. No investigational product or drug will be administered as part of this study. Enrolled patients will receive treatment and evaluations for their disease according to the standard of care and routine clinical practice at each study site. All treatments that patients receive for their disease will be recorded, including any previous lymphoma treatments. Clinical outcomes will be documented as part of an objective clinical assessment. In addition, patient-reported health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes data will be collected from patients using various validated instruments. Social support data will also be collected.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Must be ≥18 years of age at the time of consent

• Must be able to provide written informed consent personally or by legally authorized representative

• Must have 1 of the following histologically confirmed Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) subtypes:

  • Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), NOS; or DLBCL high-grade lymphoma, not otherwise specified (NOS); or DLBCL high-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements with DLBCL histology (double/triple-hit lymphoma)

    • Epstein-Barr virus-positive or composite DLBCL are allowed

  • Follicular lymphoma (FL)

• Must have been previously treated with ≥ 1 prior systemic therapy (e.g., chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or chemoimmunotherapy)

• For first relapsed/refractory (R/R) DLBCL cohort, participant must have confirmed R/R disease within 90 days prior to study enrollment and must intend to initiate 2L systemic treatment

• For first R/R FL cohort, participant must have confirmed R/R disease (grade 1 to 3B or transformed) within 90 days prior to study enrollment and must intend to initiate 2L systemic treatment

• Participant must be willing and able to complete enrollment and follow-up health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and social support instruments

• Participants volunteering for the Tissue Sub-Study must consent for use of their blood/tumor biopsies, which were collected as per standard of care, for exploratory analyses

Exclusion Criteria:

• Participant whose prior start and end date of DLBCL or FL treatment, and prior treatment received, including chemotherapy, radiation, surgery (not including excisional biopsies), and other anticancer therapy, are unknown
• Participant who has any other active malignancy (non-DLBCL or non-FL) for which the participant is receiving treatment at the time of enrollment or any other former malignancy that was diagnosed within 6 months prior to Registry enrollment (with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer)
• Currently enrolled in any interventional clinical trial where the participant is being treated with an investigational product that cannot be identified

Consecutive participants with confirmed relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or follicular lymphoma (FL) will be screened for eligibility and enrolled from approximately 100 sites in the United States, consisting mainly of community oncology sites (~80%) and academic sites (~20%) throughout the United States. A total of approximately 1000 participants will be enrolled over an estimated 3-year period in the Registry into 1 of the 2 predefined cohorts listed above.
