Biological Analysis of MABs in NHL in a Translational Prospective Observational Study Within Italian Clinical Practice (BIO-FIL_MAB)

August 11, 2026 updated by: Fondazione Italiana Linfomi - ETS

Multilayer Biological Analysis of Novel Monoclonal Antibodies (MABs) in B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL): A Translational and Prospective Observational Study Within Italian Clinical Practice (BIO-FIL_MAB Trial)

This a prospective, multicenter, observational pharmacological translational study designed to investigate the biological and imaging correlates of treatment with novel monoclonal antibodies (NMABs) in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), enrolled in the observationa FIL_MAB study. Patients enrolled in BIO FIL-MAB are concurrently participating in the FIL-MAB clinical cohort, ensuring that all clinical data-including treatment details, outcomes, and safety-are captured within the main observational study.

Patients will undergo systematic collection of biological specimens including tumor tissue, peripheral blood integrated with advanced imaging data. Biological analyses will encompass molecular, cellular, and immunological assessments, while imaging evaluations will include standardized functional and metabolic imaging techniques. All biological and imaging assessments will be performed as routine clinical visits, without requiring modifications to treatment or additional procedures beyond standard-of-care.

Detailed Description

This a prospective, multicenter, observational pharmacological translational study designed to investigate the biological and imaging correlates of treatment with novel monoclonal antibodies (NMABs) in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), enrolled in the observational FIL_MAB study.

All clinical observations, including baseline characteristics, treatment exposure, and follow-up, are collected through the FIL-MAB study database, with a minimum follow-up of 60 months (5 years) from enrollment and correlated with biological findings for translational analysis performed in BIO-FIL_MAB study.

The BIO-FIL_MAB study will employ a structured schedule of biological and imaging assessments to monitor treatment outcomes and gather translational data. The timeline will be aligned with routine clinical practice:

  • Prior to NMAB Treatment
  • During NMAB Therapy (3 months after start of therapy, 9 months after start of therapy, progression/relapse).

This structured schedule ensures a comprehensive evaluation of both clinical and biological treatment effects, aligning with the study's translational objectives.

As an observational translational study primarily intended for descriptive and exploratory analyses, no formal statistical hypothesis testing is planned.

Therefore, the sample size has been determined based on feasibility considerations and the expected availability of patients participating in the parent FIL-MAB clinical cohort, thereby ensuring a robust population for integrated biological, immunological, and imaging analyses in association with clinical outcomes.

Overall, it is anticipated that at least 1000 patients will be consecutively enrolled and followed longitudinally in BIO-FIL_MAB study.

Plan for Individual participant data (IPD)

Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?

YES

IPD Plan Description

Qualified researchers may contact the FIL board at segreteriadirezione@filinf.it to share invidual-level patients' clinical data analysed for this manuscript (for the avoidance of doubt, no identifiable data, such as name, address, hospital name, date of birth, or any other identifying data, will be shared and should not be requested).

IPD Sharing Time Frame

In compliance with the domestic ethics guideline and applicable legislation, invidual deindentified patients' data underlying the results reported in the publication article (including study protocol, statistical analysis plan and data coding) can be shared until 5 years after the publication of the article.

IPD Sharing Access Criteria

For each data sharing request, it is essential that a proforma (available on request) is completed that describes the general purpose, specific aims, data items requested, analysis plan and acknowledgment of the trial management team. Requests will be reviewed based on scientific merit and ethical principles. Requestors who are granted access to the data will be required to complete a data sharing agreement that will be signed by the requester and FIL.
