First seen Feb 21, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study is testing a new method to detect and track bone marrow scarring (fibrosis) in people with myelofibrosis without needing a painful bone marrow biopsy. Researchers will use a blood test and a special PET scan tracer that targets a protein called CCR2, which is linked to fibrosis. The goal is to see if these non-invasive tests can accurately identify the fibrotic stage of the disease, making monitoring easier and more comfortable for patients.
