Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) originates from the marginal zone of lymphatic follicles and can occur in the spleen, lymph nodes and mucosal lymphoid tissues, and the incidence increases with age. The clinicopathological features of each subtype of MZL are heterogeneous, and their clinical manifestations, biology, etiology, and treatment are all quite heterogeneous, and there is still significant uncertainty about the optimal treatment pathway. This prospective, multicenter, cohort study aims to describe the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment status, disease course and primary outcomes of different subtypes of MZL, and to observe the therapeutic efficacy and safety of different treatment modalities.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients with newly diagnosed marginal zone lymphoma who are eligible for enrollment will be evaluated by the investigator and the enrolled patients will receive long-term follow-up after collecting medical history information, biological samples, and oncology data according to the study protocol.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age≥ 18 years old; Male or female.
  • Newly diagnosed marginal zone lymphoma by histopathology within the past 6 months (180 days) and no anti-tumor therapy (including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and biological therapy or immunotherapy for the treatment of tumors).
  • Willing to provide biological samples required for the study, including blood samples and tumor tissue.
  • Voluntarily join this study and sign the informed consent form.
  • Willing to accept long-term follow-up.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with HIV infection.
  • Those who cannot come to the hospital regularly for follow-up.
  • Those with comorbidities and speech impairment.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Newly diagnosed marginal zone lymphoma
Newly diagnosed marginal zone lymphoma，including Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, spleen MZL, and lymph node MZL, as well as primary cutaneous MZL, and pediatric NMZL.
Other: patients receive optimal treatment or follow-up according to the characteristics of the disease
Patients with MZL who are eligible for enrollment will be evaluated by the investigator and the enrolled patients will receive long-term follow-up after collecting medical history information, biological samples, and oncology data according to the study protocol. This study does not specify a detailed treatment modality, and patients receive optimal treatment or follow-up according to the characteristics of the disease.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression-free survival
Time Frame: assessed up to 10 years
record the period from date of patients sign informed consent until the date of documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first
assessed up to 10 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
