Molecular Mechanisms in Malignant Lymphoma- Predict (MMML Predict)

Molecular Mechanisms in Malignant Lymphoma- Predict

The trial aims at the construction and validation of an accurate, affordable and simple prognostic tool to be used in everyday clinical practice, which allows the early and reliable identification of DLBCL patients who have a very high risk of treatment failure following R-CHOP/-like first-line therapy.

Observational study of 500 recruited and 300 evaluable patients with de novo large cell B Cell lymphoma, age 18-80. Standard guideline recommended treatment by treating physicians discretion. Collection of clinical data, PET-CT data, liquid biopsy, WGSequencing to determine optimal prognostic factors to surpass prediction offered by current IPI.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Histological diagnosis of DLBCL&LBCL
2. Planned treatment with guideline-based first-line therapy
3. Patient's consent
4. All genders, Patient age ≥ 18 years
5. Ability to consent

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Treatment with R-CHOP/-like regimens already started
2. Relationship of dependence/ direct employment with the investigator
3. Active HIV-infection
4. Presence history of other active cancers (with the exception of basal cell carcinoma of the skin)
