February 6, 2014 updated by: ANRS, Emerging Infectious Diseases

Observational Study of B-Cell Non Hodgkin Lymphomas (NHL) in Patients With Hepatitis C Virus

An prospective / retrospective multicenter observational study whose objectives are to understand the interactions between hepatitis c virus and Non Hodgkin lymphomas. The characteristics , evolution and treatment of diseases will be observed from the study.

Conditions

Detailed Description

Main objectives are:

  • Description of the clinical and histological characteristics, treatment and evolution of these NHL.
  • Study their physiopathology by immunological, virologic and molecular studies.

The study included prospective or retrospective patients with B- Cell Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) associated with chronic hepatitis C. The patients are diagnosed or in remission of lymphoma, in relapse or failure of treatments.

The enrolment period is 6 years and the total study lasts 8 years.

  • "Prospective patients" are followed every 6 months during one year, and all the years during 2 or 5 years.
  • "Retropective patients" are followed all the years during 2 or 5 years. At each follow-up, a blood sample of 50ml is withdrawn allowing ancillary studies.

The enrollment is estimated at 140 patients.
