Clonal Hematopoiesis is a Risk Factor for Chemotherapy-Related Complications (NCT04053439)

🟢 Recruiting Interventional Protocol 📊 Observational Clinical Research Sponsor: Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

'CHIP' stands for Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Significance, which are mutations in bone marrow stem cells that give that population of cells a survival or 'clonal' advantage for growth. This study investigates whether CHIP in lymphoma patients aged 60 years and older is a risk factor for chemotherapy-related complications like low blood counts, infections, cardiac events, hospitalizations, dose delays and dose reductions, and failure to recover normal blood counts after chemotherapy finishes.

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (2 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (6 items).

Location: Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre — Toronto, Ontario
