What this research studies

As a patient you would donate blood, bone marrow, or other tissue samples that are shipped to a central lab. The core processes, stores, and links each specimen to your clinical records so researchers can study disease features and treatment responses. Samples are shared with MPN-RC investigators and outside scientists for biomarker, genomic, and translational studies aimed at understanding why treatments work or fail. With more than 1,700 patients' specimens collected over time, this bank helps researchers run statistically meaningful studies for this uncommon disease.

Who could benefit from this research

Good fit: People diagnosed with an MPN (for example, polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, or primary myelofibrosis) who can provide blood or tissue samples and allow access to clinical data.

Not a fit: People without an MPN or those expecting immediate personal treatment benefit from donating samples are unlikely to receive direct clinical benefit from participation.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: Could speed development of more effective and personalized therapies and diagnostic tests for people with MPN.

How similar studies have performed: Tissue banks have a strong track record of enabling discoveries in blood cancers, and this large, long-standing MPN bank has already supported published translational studies.
