- "It will collect rich molecular (multi-omic) and clinical data from patient cohorts through serial blood draws and the acquisition of leftover tissue and/or bone marrow aspirates during their routine therapy and disease monitoring."
- Compensation
- Not stated
- Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
- Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
- Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.
- Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.
About this study
In plain language
The TEMPUS AQUARIUS Study looks at signs in blood and tissue that may be linked to how blood cancers respond to care. It is for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or follicular lymphoma. The study does not assign treatment; it collects blood over time, health data, and leftover tissue or bone marrow samples from routine care.
The TEMPUS AQUARIUS Study is a non-interventional, longitudinal observational study focused on hematological malignancies. It will collect rich molecular (multi-omic) and clinical data from patient cohorts through serial blood draws and the acquisition of leftover tissue and/or bone marrow aspirates during their routine therapy and disease monitoring. The primary goal is to understand the association between biomarkers and real-world clinical outcomes in these patient populations.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- All groups: You must agree to join, give study samples, and give informed consent.
- AML group: You must have a confirmed AML diagnosis that meets World Health Organization rules. AML that developed from another condition is allowed.
- All follicular lymphoma groups: A tissue test must confirm this cancer. You must provide a starting sample that shows your current disease.
- Group 002A: You must be newly diagnosed and being watched without treatment, or plan to be watched without treatment.
- Group 002B: You must plan to start your first treatment and have high-risk disease based on a FLIPI risk score, GELF rules for cancer amount, or a high LDH blood test result.
- Group 002C: Your lymphoma must have worsened within 24 months of your first treatment. You must not yet have started your second treatment.
- Group 002D: A tissue test must show that your follicular lymphoma has changed into another form.
Who can't join
- All groups: You cannot join if you are unwilling or unable to follow study steps.
- AML group: You cannot join if you have already received treatment meant as standard care for AML.
- Group 002A: You cannot join if you have had treatment for follicular lymphoma.
- Group 002A: You cannot join if you have high-risk disease based on a FLIPI risk score, GELF rules for cancer amount, or a high LDH blood test result.
- Group 002A: You cannot join if your cancer was removed by surgery and there is no sign of disease.
- Group 002B: You cannot join if you plan to be watched without treatment or have already had treatment for follicular lymphoma.
