Active clinical trials for "Polycythemia"

This is a prospective observational study that will enroll patients with high-risk Polycythemia Vera (PV) with at least one Thromboembolic Event (TE) after diagnosis or up to 2 years prior to diagnosis. This is a non-randomized study, and to ensure a sufficient number of patients in both cohorts, enrollment in each cohort will be terminated once the target of 150 patients has been reached.

This phase II trial evaluates how a curcumin supplement (C3 complex/Bioperine) changes the inflammatory response and symptomatology in patients with clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS), low risk myelodysplastic syndrome (LR-MDS), and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). Chronic inflammation drives disease development and contributes to symptoms experienced by patients with CCUS, LR-MDS, and MPN. Curcumin has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties and has been studied in various chronic illnesses and hematologic diseases.

Single-centre, observational within-subject design: patients that undergo phlebotomies regularly for polycythemia will be measured continuously by wearables one week before until one week after a phlebotomy, for three phlebotomies.

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are blood disorders that occur when the body makes too many white or red blood cells, or platelets. This overproduction of blood cells in the bone marrow can create problems for blood flow and lead to various symptoms. One of the major problems is the formation of blood clots. These may form in the veins of a patient's legs or arms where they cause leg or arm pain, swelling or difficulty walking. These clots may travel to the lung and then cause chest pain, shortness of breath and sometimes death. Blood clots can also lead to poor or no blood flow to one's heart, brain, or other organs, causing damages that cannot be easily or ever repaired, such as stroke or heart attack. Patients diagnosed with certain types of MPN are associated with a higher risk of developing blood clots and related complications. For this reason, MPN patients are usually treated with low-dose aspirin, a common drug used for blood clot prevention, on long-term basis to prevent the formation of blood clots and other complications. However, recent studies also show that the risk of blood clots remains elevated in MPN patients treated with aspirin, and there may not be improvement or reduction in fatal or other events that are associated with blood clots. In addition, since this medical condition is rare, so there's a lack of studies done with high quality results to help physicians decide the best treatment plan for these patients. The study drug, apixaban, is a new type of orally-taken blood thinner that has been shown to be effective and safe for prevention and treatment of blood clots in various patient populations. The investigators will evaluate whether apixaban is safer and/or better at preventing blood clots and other complications in MPN patients compared to aspirin.

The purpose of this study is to assess the real-world safety of fedratinib for the treatment of adult participants with primary myelofibrosis (PMF), post polycythemia vera myelofibrosis (post-PV MF), or post essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis (post-ET MF) who were previously treated with ruxolitinib. Participants will represent the overall patient population with PMF, post-PV MF or post-ET MF who lost adequate response to and/or are intolerant to ruxolitinib. Inadequate response definitions will follow Ministry of Food and Drug Safety-approved label and reimbursement criteria of the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service.

A multicenter, randomized controlled trial was designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the comprehensive traditional Tibetan medicine program combined with remote ischemic conditioning on high altitude polycythemia.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare in the efficacy and safety of givinostat to hydroxyurea in Jak2V617F-positive high risk polycythemia vera patients.

All patients diagnosed or followed in Brest University Hospital for Philadelphia negative myeloproliferative neoplasms will be included in this observational study. Myeloproliferative neoplasms recorded included: polycythemia vera, essential Thrombocythemia and Primary Myelofibrosis. This is a not interventional study. Alive patients need to sign a non-opposition consent form. Patients will be followed until last news (death, change of reference centre...).

The mandate of this MPN registry is to collect clinical information, including molecular results, from consenting patients with a variety of MPNs at different time points during the course of their disease.

This randomized phase I trial studies the side effects of vaccine therapy in preventing cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in patients with hematological malignancies undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Vaccines made from a tetanus-CMV peptide or antigen may help the body build an effective immune response and prevent or delay the recurrence of CMV infection in patients undergoing donor stem cell transplant for hematological malignancies.
