Gene clues may predict blood cancer outcomes
NCT ID NCT02619565
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study enrolled 349 people with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) to see how certain gene mutations affect survival. Researchers collected blood samples at diagnosis and tracked patients over time. The goal was to understand which mutations are linked to better or worse outcomes, which could help guide future treatment decisions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors better predict disease progression and tailor treatments for people with myelodysplastic syndromes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only looks at genetic patterns and does not test any new therapy, so it cannot directly improve outcomes.

Not a phased trial
Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Inclusion Criteria: Myelodysplastic syndromes, mixed myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative disorders or secondary acute myeloid leukemia at diagnosis: * De novo MDS subtype according to the WHO classification: RCMD and RA with or without ring sideroblasts, RAEB 1, or MDS-U, RAEB 2, therapy-related MDS or sAML, MDS/MPD. * IPSS * Documented chromosome 5 and 7 abnormality (del(5q) or -5, del(7q) or -7) by FISH analysis, if possible AND * ECOG performance status ≤ 2 * Age ≥ 18 years * Life expectancy ≥ 3 months * Adequate renal and liver function (transaminases serum levels ≤ 3N; calculated creatinine clearance \> 40 ml/min) * Signed informed consent prior to start of any study-specific procedures * Ability to participate to a clinical trial and adhere to study procedures Exclusion Criteria: * Active serious infection not controlled by oral or intravenous antibiotics * Treatment with any investigational antileukemic agent or chemotherapy at least 6 weeks prior to study entry and lack of full recovery from side effects due to prior therapy independent of when that therapy were given * Rapidly progressive disease with compromised organ function judged to be life-threatening by the Investigator * Pregnant or lactating female * Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection * Known active hepatitis B and/or C virus infection * ECOG performance status \> 2 * Age \< 18 years
