Summary

This trial is testing whether a certain type of blood test can be used to detect early signs of cancer recurrence in people with a certain type of lymphoma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with early stage, non-bulky Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) who haven't been treated before. Participants need measurable disease visible on PET scans and available tumor biopsies. They must have good heart, kidney, liver function, stable blood counts, and no uncontrolled health issues or pregnancy.
What is being tested?
The study tests how well patients respond to a combination of drugs: Vincristine, Prednisone, Rituximab Prednisone, Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin. It also monitors circulating tumor DNA levels in the body to potentially adapt treatment based on response.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy drugs like Doxorubicin and Cyclophosphamide; nerve damage from Vincristine; increased infection risk due to immune system impact by Rituximab; fluid retention or mood changes from Prednisone.
