Polycythemia

This trial tests rusfertide, an injected drug, in Japanese adults with polycythemia vera, a rare blood cancer that causes too many red blood cells. The goal is to see if rusfertide can keep red blood cell levels under control and reduce the need for phlebotomy (blood removal). Al…

This study tests a pill called selinexor in 15 adults with chronic blood cancers (MPN) whose blood cell counts are too high. The goal is to see if selinexor can safely bring those counts down and ease symptoms. Participants take the drug once a week for up to 3 months and are fol…

This study tests if lisinopril, a common blood pressure drug, can lower red blood cell levels in people with polycythemia (too many red blood cells). Researchers will measure changes in hemoglobin, hematocrit, and a hormone called erythropoietin. The trial enrolls 30 adults with …

This early-phase study tests an experimental drug, ZE74-0282, in about 60 adults with polycythemia vera or myelofibrosis caused by a specific JAK2 gene mutation. The main goals are to find a safe dose and check for side effects, while also seeing if the drug shows signs of fighti…

This early-stage study tests a new treatment using special immune cells (CAR-T cells) designed to reduce harmful antibodies that can prevent or damage bone marrow transplants. About 18 people with blood diseases who have these antibodies will receive the cells in increasing doses…

This study tests whether starting tube feeding right after a stem cell transplant can reduce severe gut graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in people with blood cancers or disorders. About 112 participants will be randomly assigned to either standard care or early tube feeding. The …

This study looks back at medical records of 150 people with polycythemia vera (a rare blood cancer) who received ropeginterferon alfa-2b. Researchers want to see how well the drug controls the disease over time and what factors help or hinder its effectiveness. The goal is to imp…

This study tests whether a new medicine called Fexuprazan (Fexuclue) can prevent stomach ulcers caused by NSAID painkillers like ibuprofen. About 360 adults with joint or muscle pain who need daily NSAIDs will take either Fexuprazan or an older drug (Lansoprazole) for 24 weeks. T…

This study tests whether a 12-week personalized exercise program can reduce fatigue and improve physical function in people with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Participants will do supervised aerobic and resistance training twice a week plu…

This early-phase trial will test four orthobiologic treatments—PRP, bone marrow concentrate, hyaluronic acid, and nanofat—in 300 adults with various muscle, joint, tendon, or bone conditions. The goal is to see if these natural substances can reduce pain and improve joint functio…

This study looks at whether a mobile app can help people with common pains (neck, shoulder, back, or knee) do their prescribed home exercises more regularly. About 30 adults will be split into two groups: one using the app and one doing traditional exercises. The goal is to see i…

This study tests a digital app called WELL-MPN designed to help adults with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) improve their diet, physical activity, symptoms, and emotional well-being. About 75 participants will be randomly assigned to use the app or receive standard written li…

This study aims to translate and adapt a widely used questionnaire for musculoskeletal problems into Urdu. Researchers will enroll 110 Urdu-speaking adults, including patients with muscle or joint issues and healthy volunteers. The goal is to create a validated tool to measure sy…

This study looks at how patients feel when reading their own medical notes. Some will read the original doctor's note, others will read a simpler version written by artificial intelligence. Researchers want to see if the AI summary changes how much patients trust their doctor or …

This study tests a decision support system called SmaRTWork to help people on sick leave due to muscle or back pain return to work. About 298 adults in Norway will either use the system or receive usual care. The main goal is to see if the tool helps them return to work sustainab…

This study looks at why people with polycythemia vera (PV), a rare blood disorder that makes too many red blood cells, often struggle with exercise. Researchers will measure blood thickness and oxygen levels in 54 patients during a treadmill stress test. The goal is to see if a b…
