Phase N/A

This study looks at how people with **lymphoma** (a type of cancer affecting the immune system) respond to flu shots. It helps doctors understand how the immune system changes during cancer treatment by checking **antibodies** (proteins that fight infections) and other immune cells. Patients with conditions like **B-NHL** (B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma), **CLL** (chronic lymphocytic leukemia), and **MCL** (mantle cell lymphoma) can take part if they haven't had a flu shot or flu this season. They will get a flu shot and be checked at different times over a year (days 7, 28, 90, 180, and 365) to see how their immune system responds.

  • The study involves one flu shot and follow-ups for a year.
  • Participants must have certain types of lymphoma and not have had the flu shot this season.
  • Exclusion includes recent flu infection, severe allergies to vaccine components, or other medical conditions that might interfere.

This study seeks to improve understanding of immune responses in lymphoma patients, potentially guiding future treatments. Participants will help advance this important research.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
