Study of immune changes in brain lymphoma
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial looks at the immune system and metabolism of people with primary central nervous system lymphoma (a type of brain cancer) to find differences that might help with future treatments. It does not test a new drug, but collects samples and medical information.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You must have been diagnosed with primary central nervous system lymphoma (brain lymphoma).

- You must be able to provide MRI or CT images and pathology reports.
- You cannot have another type of cancer, a severe infection, or a serious organ condition like kidney or liver failure.
- You must be willing to sign a consent form and give blood or tissue samples.

This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs to treat lymphoma that started in your brain. The goal is to see if this treatment helps without having to use whole-brain radiation.
This trial tests a combination of high-dose chemotherapy drugs (gemcitabine, busulfan, and thiotepa) followed by a stem cell transplant for people with primary central nervous system lymphoma. It aims to see if this treatment can improve outcomes for patients whose disease has responded to initial therapy.
This trial compares two treatment combinations for newly diagnosed primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL), a rare type of brain lymphoma. It tests whether adding a drug called PD-1 (a type of immunotherapy that helps your immune system fight cancer) to the standard chemotherapy (R-MA) improves outcomes compared to R-MA alone. Participating gives access to a novel combination that may be more effective, though it involves extra monitoring and possible immune-related side effects.
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (rituximab, methotrexate, and orelabrutinib) plus a PD-1 inhibitor for newly diagnosed or relapsed central nervous system lymphoma. The goal is to see if this new combination can improve outcomes for patients with this rare type of lymphoma.
This trial tests a combination of radiation, immune-boosting drugs, and a targeted antibody for people newly diagnosed with primary central nervous system diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (a type of brain lymphoma). The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective.
This trial studies how newly diagnosed primary central nervous system (brain) non-Hodgkin lymphoma responds to a specific type of radiation to the whole brain, and it also looks at changes in thinking, mood, and behavior. It may help doctors understand how this treatment affects day-to-day brain function.
