Pre-cancerous Lymphoproliferative Disorders |
The purpose of the study is to monitor patients with early stage lymphoproliferative disorders not meeting criteria for treatment, including early stage Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL), Monoclonal B-cell Lymphocytosis (MBL), Monoclonal Gammopathy of Uncertain Significance (MGUS), asymptomatic Waldenstroms Macroglobulinaemia (WM) and Smouldering Myeloma (SM).
Each of these disorders has a pre-cancerous phase when abnormalities can be seen in the blood, however treatment may not be required. A minority of people with early stage lymphoproliferative disorders will go on to need treatment for blood or bone marrow cancer.
Currently the investigators do not have a reliable way to predict which of these individuals with these disorders are more likely to develop a blood or bone marrow cancer. By studying a large group of individuals over time we hope to discover more about what factors might predict progression.The investigators may be able to identify markers which identify individuals who are more or less likely to develop blood or bone marrow cancer. These markers might be particular symptoms, gene changes called mutations or levels of particular molecules or cells in the blood or bone marrow. In the longer term this may enable us to identify those people who would benefit from certain types of treatment or from receiving treatment at an earlier stage and also to confidently reassure those who will never progress.
Patients will be studied for up to 5 years with blood, bone marrow and saliva samples taken at key time-points to help answer these questions. In addition to looking for these markers we will also collect information about:
- What it is like to live with one of these conditions
- How many people with these conditions develop other significant medical conditions, such as serious infections, thrombosis (blood clots) or other types of cancer.

- The identification of predictive markers of progression to malignant disease [ Time Frame: Duration of the study (5 years) ]Relevant markers will be identified from the analysis of the clinical data in combination with the genomic and immunological data from the samples collected. The markers will be combined to produce a single probability risk score. The choice of relevant markers will be guided by emerging evidence and techniques under the guidance of the study scientific advisory board.
- Patient reported outcome measures (PROM) via approved quality of life questionnaires. [ Time Frame: Duration of study (5 years) ]Analysis of approved questionnaires: EORTC CLL17
- To study other clinically significant events, not inevitably due to disease progression in this patient cohort [ Time Frame: Duration of study (5 years) ]Assessed by analysing suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs) reported
- Production of evidence-based standard of care guidelines for the monitoring and follow-up of patients with these pre-cancerous conditions [ Time Frame: Duration of study (5 years) ]The identification of relevant markers can be used to create guidelines for optimal monitoring of patients with these pre-cancerous conditions
- Patient reported outcome measures (PROM) via approved quality of life questionnaires. [ Time Frame: Duration of study (5 years) ]Analysis of approved questionnaires: EORTC NHL-LG20
- Patient reported outcome measures (PROM) via approved quality of life questionnaires. [ Time Frame: Duration of study (5 years) ]Analysis of approved questionnaires: EORTC QLQ-C30
- Patient reported outcome measures (PROM) via approved quality of life questionnaires. [ Time Frame: Duration of study (5 years) ]Analysis of approved questionnaires: EORTC QLQ-MY20

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0,1 or 2
- Age 16 years and over

- The patient is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study and scheduled follow-up visits and examinations
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnant or breast-feeding women. Pregnant or breast-feeding women may be re-screened following delivery and/or cessation of breastfeeding, as appropriate
- Previous chemotherapy or immunotherapy for any haematological cancers

- Patients in cohort 2 or 3 on anticoagulation for a diagnosis of pulmonary embolus or deep vein thrombosis within the last 3 months or with a mechanical heart valve or any other condition causing a significant risk of thromboembolism. Participants who are anticoagulated for atrial fibrillation are eligible, but will be asked to interrupt anticoagulation 3 days prior to bone marrow examination
- Other psychological, social or medical condition, physical examination finding or laboratory abnormality that the investigator considers would make the patient a poor study candidate or could interfere with protocol compliance or the interpretation of study results.
