The aim of the DIRECT Study is to establish a robust pipeline to identify those patients with high-grade B cell lymphoma most suitable for novel agent clinical trials based upon genomic subtype and an integrated response evaluation determined early in first-line therapy.
This will be done by integrating data and samples collected from patients undergoing standard of care treatment for high-grade B cell lymphoma Data will be integrated from 1. Clinical risk factors from the International Prognostic Index (IPI) 2. Up-front genomic subtype based on molecular profiling of diagnostic biopsy 3. Serial ctDNA monitoring during treatment. 4. Radiological response imaging

Patients will take their normal standard of care treatment for their lymphoma, as per agreed with the patient's doctor. Blood samples will be collected at Baseline, during the first 3 cycles of Treatment, at End of Treatment, at 6- and 12-months after End of Treatment and at relapse/progression if applicable. Surplus Tissue biopsy will be collected at Baseline and at relapse/progression if applicable. In rare cases research-specific tissue biopsy may be collected if appropriate.

RECRUITINGEstablish a robust molecular monitoring pipeline.
Time frame: 3-5 years
Successful identification of trackable mutations in collected samples. Feasibility will be met if more than 75% of the samples yield trackable mutations across the whole study.
Time frame: 3-5 years
Assess the utility of serial ctDNA assessment as a predicator of clinical outcome in high-grade B cell lymphoma.
Time frame: 5 years
Assess the utility of integrated data from clinical risk factors (IPI), up-front genotype, serial ctDNA response and radiological assessment (CT or PET-CT).
Time frame: 3-5 years
When the pipeline is optimised can these 4 parameters be available within 6 weeks, i.e. by completion of Cycle 2.
1. Clinical risk factors from the International Prognostic Index (IPI) 2. Up-front genomic subtype based on molecular profiling of diagnostic biopsy 3. Serial ctDNA monitoring during treatment. 4. Radiological response imaging
