Blood cancer patients' immune system may hold clues to severe COVID-19
NCT ID NCT07204366
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examines whether people with certain blood cancers (myeloproliferative neoplasms) have autoantibodies that block a key immune protein called type I interferon. These autoantibodies may increase the risk of severe COVID-19. Researchers will test blood samples from 219 participants to see how common these autoantibodies are and if they relate to COVID-19 outcomes. No treatment is given; the goal is to gather knowledge.
