A Guide To Lymphoma Clinical Trials
This actionable lymphoma guide lays out the considerations when managing your diagnosis to help you with the process and to make sure no step is missed along the way.
Understanding
Lymphoma
Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that attacks lymphatic tissue and affects lymphocytes, also known as white blood cells. There are two types of lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma represents 85% of all lymphoma cases in the United States.
Nearly 100,000 new cases of lymphoma were estimated in 2020 by the National Cancer Institute, and the 5-year relative survival rate is 72.6%. It represents 4.6% of all new cancer cases in the United States, as the 7th most common cancer type. Most common types of Lymphomas are:
- B-Cell Lymphoma and T-Cell Lymphoma
- Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) and Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Prognosis
- Follicular Lymphoma and Follicular Lymphoma Prognosis
- Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
- Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL)
- Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) and Mantle Cell Lymphoma Prognosis
- Marginal Zone Lymphomas
- Extranodal Marginal Zone B-Cell Lymphoma
- Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) Lymphoma
- Nodal Marginal Zone B-Cell Lymphoma and Splenic Marginal Zone B-Cell Lymphoma
- Burkitt Lymphoma
- Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma
- Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia
- Hairy Cell Leukemia
- Primary Central Nervous System (CNS) Lymphoma
- Primary Intraocular Lymphoma
- Lymphoma Of The Eye
- T-Lymphoblastic Lymphoma and T-Lymphoblastic Leukemia
- Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma and Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphomas
- Mycosis Fungoides
- Sezary Syndrome
- Adult T-Cell Leukemia and Adult T-Cell Lymphoma
- Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma
- Extranodal Natural Killer/T-Cell Lymphoma, Nasal Type
- Enteropathy-Associated Intestinal T-Cell Lymphoma (EATL)
- Primary Cutaneous ALCL, Systemic ALCL, Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL) and Breast Implant-Associated ALCL
- Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma
How Clinical
Trials Can Help
There are approximately 800 clinical trials for lymphoma that are currently recruiting patients in the United States right now.
Current clinical trials are researching new:
- Targeted therapies for new biomarkers
- Combinations of chemotherapies with other drugs
- Immunotherapy drugs, such as CAR T-cell therapy
- Idiotypic vaccination
Participating in a clinical trial not only progresses much needed research but gives patients access to these new innovative therapies years before the general population.
