About this trial

'CHIP' stands for Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Significance, which are mutations in bone marrow stem cells that give that population of cells a survival or 'clonal' advantage for growth. This study investigates whether CHIP in lymphoma patients aged 60 years and older is a risk factor for chemotherapy-related complications like low blood counts, infections, cardiac events, hospitalizations, dose delays and dose reductions, and failure to recover normal blood counts after chemotherapy finishes.
