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.
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 phase 2 trial is testing whether two dietary supplements—nicotinamide riboside (a vitamin B3 derivative) and pterostilbene (a plant compound)—can safely improve low blood counts in people with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or high-risk clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS). Ten participants will receive different doses to see if hemoglobin levels rise by at least 1 g/dL over 24 weeks. The study is open-label and aims to check both effectiveness and safety.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
nicotinamide riboside and pterostilbene (dietary supplements)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple supplement-based way to improve low blood counts in people with certain blood disorders.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early-phase trial with only 10 participants, so results may not apply widely. Supplements may not improve blood counts or could cause side effects.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Subject must voluntarily sign and date an informed consent, approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB), prior to the initiation of any research directed procedures. * Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and be available for the duration of the study. * Be a male or female aged ≥ 18 years of age. * For persons of reproductive potential, use of highly effective method(s) of contraception. * Subject must have confirmation of high risk CCUS (defined by CHRS score) or the diagnosis of MDS in the lower risk category as defined by IPSS-M less than 0. * Patients must have ECOG of ≤ 2 * Subject must have adequate renal function as demonstrated by a calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min; determined via urine collection for 24-hour creatinine clearance or by the Cockcroft Gault formula. * Subject must have adequate liver function as demonstrated by: * aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3.0 × ULN * alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3.0 × ULN * Unless due to Gilbert's syndrome, patients must have a total bilirubin ≤ 3 × ULN. * Subject is informed that consumption of the following fruits is prohibited 3 days prior to the initiation of study treatment and throughout participation: grapefruit, grapefruit products, Seville oranges (including marmalade containing Seville oranges) or Star fruit. Exclusion Criteria: * Subject is known to be positive for HIV with uncontrolled disease. HIV testing is not required. * Subject is known to be positive for hepatitis B or C infection with the exception of those with an undetectable viral load. Hepatitis B or C testing is not required and subjects with serologic evidence of prior vaccination to HBV may participate. * Subject has any history of clinically significant condition(s) that in the opinion of the investigator would adversely affect his/her participating in this study including, but not limited to: * Significant active cardiac disease within the previous 6 months including: New York Heart Association heart failure \> class 2, unstable angina, or myocardial infarction. * Renal, neurologic, psychiatric, endocrinologic, metabolic, immunologic, hepatic, cardiovascular disease, or bleeding disorder independent of leukemia. * Subject has a malabsorption syndrome or other condition that precludes enteral route of administration. This includes history of inflammatory bowel disease (e.g. Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis), celiac disease (e.g. sprue), prior gastrectomy or upper bowel removal, or any other gastrointestinal disorder or defect that would interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of the study drug and/or predispose the subject to an increased risk of gastrointestinal toxicity. * Subject exhibits evidence of uncontrolled systemic infection requiring therapy (viral, bacterial or fungal). Uncontrolled is defined as ongoing signs/symptoms related the infection without improvement despite appropriate antibiotics, antiviral therapy and/or other treatment. * Subject has a history of other malignancies prior to study entry, with the exception of: * Adequately treated in situ carcinoma of the breast or cervix uteri * Basal cell carcinoma of the skin or localized squamous cell carcinoma of the skin * Prostate cancer not requiring therapy beyond hormonal therapy * Previous malignancy confined and surgically resected (or treated with other modalities) with curative intent * Any subject who is transfusion dependent and a candidate for MDS therapy such as erythroid stimulating agents, thrombopoietin receptor agonists, Lusparercept, Imetelstat or hypomethylating agents. * Pregnant or breast-feeding females. A pregnancy test will be obtained at the time of screening if applicable. * Known or suspected hypersensitivity to nicotinamide riboside and pterostilbene.
