What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
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.

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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This pilot study tests whether a 12-week nutrition and exercise program is feasible for patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), a group of blood cancers. Thirty participants will take virtual and in-person classes to learn healthier eating and physical activity habits. The main goal is to see if at least 70% can complete 9 weeks of the program, with symptom changes also tracked.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Cardiac Lifestyle Program (12-week tailored nutrition and physical activity program)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a structured lifestyle program is feasible for MPN patients and may help ease symptoms like fatigue.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (30 participants) with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The program may be too demanding for some patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: -≥18 years of age * Diagnosed with an MPN by WHO 2016 criteria,22 including essential thrombocythemia (ET), polycythemia vera (PV), prefibrotic myelofibrosis (pre-MF), myelofibrosis (MF), and MPN not otherwise specified (NOS). Within MF patients, only patients who are low or intermediate-1 risk by the Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System (DIPSS) are eligible.23 All risk groups are eligible for the remaining MPN subtypes. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1 * Must have at least one cardiovascular risk factor including: Body mass index (BMI) \>25 kg/m2, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus or pre-diabetes or metabolic syndrome, or any prior history of cardiovascular disease, transient ischemic attack, stroke, or peripheral vascular disease. Patients not meeting any cardiovascular risk criteria must receive prior approval from the PI to participate in this study. Exclusion Criteria: \-- MF patients with intermediate-2 or high-risk disease by DIPSS * ECOG performance status \>2. * Any injury or medical condition that would prohibit being able to safely perform exercise, as determined by the treating physician.
