Could a simple blood test and PET scan replace painful bone marrow biopsies for myelofibrosis patients?
NCT ID NCT07419178
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to develop a non-invasive method to detect and track fibrosis (scarring) in myelofibrosis, a serious blood disorder. Currently, doctors must perform a bone marrow biopsy to check fibrosis. The researchers will test whether a blood test and a special PET scan can identify fibrosis by detecting a specific marker (CCR2) on cells. The study will involve 265 participants with myelofibrosis or related conditions.
