What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at how levels of immune-signaling molecules called cytokines change in the blood just before and after a stem cell transplant. Researchers want to see if these patterns differ based on the patient's disease, such as myelofibrosis or acute leukemia, and the type of donor, such as a half-matched or fully matched donor. By comparing these groups, they hope to understand why some patients develop early inflammatory complications like graft-versus-host disease. The study involves collecting blood samples from adult patients at three time points around their transplant.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Blood sampling
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors predict which transplant patients face a higher risk of early inflammatory complications, such as graft-versus-host disease, and tailor monitoring or treatment accordingly.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with a small number of participants, so the findings may not apply broadly. Measuring cytokines in the blood may not fully capture the complex immune response after transplant.
