Clonal hematopoiesis

This study tests whether a procedure called endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) can safely treat pancreatic lesions. The approach uses a special endoscope to deliver heat energy directly to the lesion. Researchers will enroll 60 people with pre-malignan…

This pilot study tests whether the drug ropeginterferon is safe and feasible for 12 people with a JAK2 mutation and high-risk features who do not yet have a blood cancer. Participants receive an injection every 4 weeks and are monitored closely. The goal is to see if this approac…

This pilot study tests whether the drug colchicine can reduce artery plaque in 120 heart attack survivors who have a specific genetic change (TET2-CHIP). Participants take colchicine or standard care for 12 months. The goal is to see if this genetic marker can guide personalized …

This phase 2 trial tests a combination of three chemotherapy drugs (treosulfan, fludarabine, thiotepa) plus an immune-suppressing antibody before a donor stem cell transplant in up to 40 people under 50 with non-cancerous blood disorders. The goal is to see if this milder conditi…

This study is testing a new blood test called PanTum Detect to see how well it can find early signs of cancer or pre-cancer. The test looks for certain markers in immune cells. Researchers will compare the blood test results with standard PET/CT scans in 134 adults—half with susp…

This phase II trial tests whether canakinumab, a drug that reduces inflammation, can prevent blood cancer in people with CCUS—a condition where low blood counts and genetic mutations raise cancer risk. About 110 adults with high-risk CCUS will receive either canakinumab or a plac…

This study tests whether eating a high-fiber plant-based diet (fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, whole grains) can improve quality of life for people with clonal hematopoiesis (CH), a blood condition. Researchers will track changes through questionnaires. The study involves 36 adu…

This study collects blood, bone marrow, and tumor samples from 500 adults with cancer or pre-cancerous conditions. Researchers will use these samples to learn more about how cancers behave and why some respond differently to treatments. Participants provide samples over time and …

This study collects extra blood, urine, and tumor samples from children and adults with certain cancers to build a large tissue repository. Researchers will analyze these samples to learn more about the genetic and molecular makeup of these tumors. The goal is to support future s…

This study looks at how certain blood cell changes (called clonal hematopoiesis) after Hodgkin lymphoma treatment might be linked to later heart problems. Researchers will test blood samples from 190 survivors who received chemotherapy as children or young adults. The goal is to …

This study follows people with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) for up to 20 years to understand how the disease changes over time. Researchers will collect blood, bone marrow, and other samples from 1,100 participants, including healthy donors. The goal is to learn more about MDS…

This study looks at whether firefighters' exposure to hazardous chemicals leads to pre-cancerous changes in their blood. Researchers will collect blood samples from 300 firefighters aged 40-49 with at least 5 years on the job. The goal is to find early markers that might predict …

This study investigates clonal hematopoiesis (CH) — small mutations in blood cells that can arise naturally or after cancer treatment — in adults receiving chemotherapy or radiation for solid tumors like breast, lung, or colorectal cancer. Researchers will collect blood, saliva, …

This study follows 306 adults with certain DNA changes in their blood cells (called CHIP or CCUS) to see how these changes affect health over time. Researchers want to learn if these changes increase the risk of blood cancers or heart problems. Participants will have yearly check…

This study follows 100 people aged 55 and older who have clonal hematopoiesis (CH) or unexplained low blood counts. Researchers will monitor their health over time, assess risks for heart disease and blood cancers, and provide personalized support. The goal is to create a bluepri…

This study looks at genetic changes in people with early-stage blood cancers or conditions that may lead to cancer. Researchers will analyze blood, bone marrow, or cheek cell samples from up to 10,000 participants to find DNA errors linked to cancer risk and progression. The goal…

This study follows 2,000 people who have had ovarian or other solid cancers to learn why some later develop blood cancers like leukemia. Researchers will look at genetic changes in blood cells and treatment history to identify risk factors. No new treatments are being tested—the …

This study will analyze the genes of 25,000 adults who have cancer or are at risk for it. Researchers will use advanced testing to find genetic changes linked to cancer and track health records over time. The goal is to learn more about cancer biology and discover new ways to per…

This study is collecting information and samples from 1,500 people with TP53 gene changes (linked to Li-Fraumeni Syndrome, a condition that raises cancer risk) and their relatives. Researchers want to better understand how these gene variants affect cancer risk and how accurate f…

This study collects bone marrow from 24 adults aged 65+ having hip surgery to understand how common aging-related blood cell mutations (called CHIP) change cell metabolism. Researchers will compare gene activity in mutated versus normal stem cells. The goal is to learn more about…

This study collects tissue, blood, urine, and stool samples from 5000 people undergoing colonoscopy or endoscopy, including those with cancer, polyps, or inflammatory bowel disease, as well as healthy volunteers. The goal is to find new biomarkers that could improve early detecti…

This study is looking at 2,000 people who have early warning signs of blood cancers or bone marrow failure. Researchers use a special genetic test (next generation sequencing) to find changes in cancer-related genes. The goal is to better understand who is at risk and to catch th…

This study compares two minimally invasive surgical techniques—laparoscopic and robot-assisted—for removing the left side of the pancreas in people with benign or pre-cancerous growths. About 256 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. The goal is to …
