This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), under the federal grant program "Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research" (CFDA 93.394), provides $206,968 to the University of Arizona to develop and validate a gene expression assay called FL24CX. The goal is to use this assay to predict early clinical failure in patients with follicular lymphoma who are treated with immunochemotherapy.

The project has two phases: (1) analytical validation of the FL24CX assay on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples, and (2) clinical validation of the assay's prognostic power in diverse patient populations through collaborations with the Lymphoma Epidemiology of Outcomes (LEO) observational study and SWOG clinical trial S0016. This will enable the reliable identification of high-risk follicular lymphoma patients at diagnosis, informing more effective disease management. The University of Arizona is partnering with Mayo Clinic as a sub-awardee on this project.
