A Prospective, Observational Cohort Study to Evaluate the Clinical Impact of Novel Monoclonal Antibodies (MAB) in B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) in Italian Clinical Practice

This is a prospective, observational cohort study to evaluate the clinical impact of novel Monoclonal AntiBodies (MAB) in B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) in Italian clinical practice.

This is a large prospective, observational cohort study aimed at collecting clinical information on use, feasibility, short- and long-term efficacy and short- and long-term toxicity of novel MAB that have received approval from EMA since 2020 and are prescribed according to the indications for use authorized for marketing in Italy.

Patients entering the study will be subdivided into different cohorts based on approved treatment indications, type of antibody employed and histological subtype. Additional sub-cohorts will be defined if needed.

Final outputs will be based according to:

• Per indication analysis;
• Pooled analyses by type of antibody and subtype and other parameters;
• A general analysis of the whole cohort.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with diagnosis of B-cell NHL and need of treatment (as per guideline indications), both first-line and relapsed or refractory.
• Patients aimed to be treated in indication with a "novel" MAB (alone or in combination) based on presence of an EMA clinical indication since 2020 and prescribed according to the indications for use authorized for marketing in Italy.
• Signed written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Being involved in a prospective interventional trial outside indication.

• Patients treated outside approved indications:

  • 648-approved indication.
  • 5% AIFA support.
  • Compassionate use.

• Age less than 18 years.

• Inability to provide an informed consent.
