Sample Collection for Ongoing Research and Product Evaluation Study - Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (SCORE-NHL)
United States200 participantsStarted 2026-07-27
Plain-language summary
The SCORE-NHL study is a prospective, multi-center, study designed to collect data and biological samples from participants diagnosed with aggressive Stage I to IV non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). Study participants will undergo research blood collections of up to 60 mL as well as residual tissue collection, collected as part of a standard of care procedure, for use in research. Collected samples and data will be analyzed to evaluate biomarkers associated with development and validation of cancer monitoring and detection assays ("Natera cancer monitoring and detection test(s)").

Inclusion criteria
. Patient is at least 18 years of age or older.
. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤ 2.
. Patients who are able to consent to and provide residual tumor tissue for research. Bone marrow specimens are excluded as acceptable tumor tissue.
. Patients with a new diagnosis of Stage I to IV aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) including all aggressive large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL, HGBCL, PMBCL), T-cell lymphoma (PTCL, ALCL), follicular lymphoma (FL) grade 3B, or transformed FL.
. Patients who are planning to receive six cycles of first-line therapy with an anthracycline-based chemotherapy regimen as per the standard of care.
. Radiographically measurable disease with at least one hypermetabolic lesion by Lugano classification on baseline FDG PET/CT or FDG PET (radiographically measurable disease by CT with intravenous contrast is allowed if FDG-PET/CT is not available).
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.
