Evaluation of Serum Free Light Chains and Clonal Ig DNA in Plasma From Patients With Aggressive B-Cell Lymphomas


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- To estimate the proportion of patients with diffuse large B-cell/immunoblastic and
Burkitt histologies with elevated serum free light chains (FLC).

- To estimate the proportion of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma with clonal immunoglobulin
(Ig) DNA detection in the plasma.

Secondary

- To estimate the agreement between the detection of a monoclonal Ig DNA spike in plasma
and the detection of a monoclonal DNA spike in tumor tissue.

- To estimate the agreement between the fragment length of a spike in tumor tissue and
the fragment length of the spike in plasma.

- To estimate the detection rate of elevated FLC in each histology, including diffuse
large B-cell/immunoblastic and Burkitt lymphoma.

- To estimate the detection rate of clonal Ig DNA in each histology, including diffuse
large B-cell/immunoblastic, Burkitt lymphoma, and Hodgkin lymphoma.

- To analyze clinical and pathologic correlates of detection by the serum/plasma tests:
disease subtype, stage of disease, disease bulk, lactate dehydrogenase, and Ki-67
index.

- To estimate the detection rate of clonotypic B-cells in peripheral blood mononuclear
cells from patients with Hodgkin lymphoma.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Blood and tissue samples collected at the time of diagnosis are analyzed for serum free
light chain and clonal immunoglobulin (Ig) DNA rearrangements and circulating clonotypic
B-cells via PCR.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 50 patients (25 with diffuse large B-cell/immunoblastic
histologies, 15 with Burkitt lymphoma, and 10 with Hodgkin lymphoma) will be accrued for
this study.
