Clinical trials

Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) is an slow growing malignancy characterized by marked biological and clinical differences across different anatomical sites. Using participants' samples and clinical information, this observational and non-interventional research aims to generate a comprehensive molecular and cellular atlas of MALT lymphoma. The results will enable the identification of biologically meaningful tumor subtypes, microenvironmental niches, and candidate biomarkers with potential relevance for the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of MALT lymphoma.

PCNS-DLBCL is a rare extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma that primarily affects the brain, spine, or vitreoretinal space. The prognosis for PCNS-DLBCL is significantly worse than that for its systemic counterpart. Understanding how and where this tumor initiates, and how it survives or depends on the microenvironment of the CNS is key to understanding the underlying biology and identifying reliable biomarkers for selecting personalized therapy or for biologically directed therapy that could improve the cure rate of CNS lymphomas.

International retrospective observational cohort study aimed to describe a molecular classification for NMZL.

Histological transformation in Splenic Marginal Zone Lymphoma (t-SMZL) represents an unmet clinical and biological need, invariably associated with poor prognosis and reduced overall survival. At the present time, there are no recommended treatments intended specifically to t-SMZL and little is known about t-SMZL genetic complexity. The aim of this study is to provide information that will help clinicians to better understand the complexity of the disease. The information gained from this study will also lead to more specific and effective treatment for patients with t-SMZL.
