A Study of Response Adapted Ultra Low Dose 4 Gy Radiation for Definitive Therapy of Marginal Zone Lymphoma
United States50 participantsStarted 2023-07-28
Plain-language summary
To learn if response-adapted, ultra-low dose radiation therapy can help to control MZL. This means participates first receive lower does of radiation therapy and then, based on how the disease responds, may receive higher doses after that.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients 18 years or older. Because no RT dosing data are currently available on the use of response adapted ultra low dose RT in patients \<18 years of age, children are excluded from this study.
* Patients with stage I-II marginal zone lymphoma. Patients with a pathology report consistent with low grade B cell lymphoma, favor marginal zone lymphoma, are included. Other low grade lymphomas including follicular grade I/II and chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) are ineligible.
* Patients should not be planned for any systemic therapy before the first follow up evaluation after radiation (intent is to treat with radiation therapy alone).
* Patients with biopsy-proven disease treated with another modality (such as systemic therapy) prior to radiation must have clinical or radiographic evidence of residual disease before enrollment. Patients with clinical and/or radiographic masses that are measurable will have dimensions noted prior to therapy. If an excisional biopsy is performed, patients should have clinically or radiographically apparent disease after biopsy (this does not apply to gastric MALT lymphoma patients).
* Prior systemic therapy is allowed, as long as administration is prior to most recent disease assessment by imaging, clinical exam, or endoscopy. There are no limits on the nature or amount of prior systemic therapy.
* Prior antibiotics intended to treat marginal zone lymphoma are allowed, as long as administra…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
