Italian MPN patients share their stories in landmark Quality-of-Life study
NCT ID NCT04378855
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is collecting information on quality of life and symptoms from 572 Italian patients with certain types of blood cancers called myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). Participants fill out questionnaires about how their disease and treatments affect their daily functioning and well-being. The goal is to build a platform to better understand patient experiences, not to test a new drug or therapy.
