Run by University Hospital, Angers · NCT06361641 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is trying to learn more about the role of certain blood cells called monocytes in patients with specific blood disorders to see how they might affect the disease and treatment options.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are adults diagnosed with polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, or primary myelofibrosis who have not yet received specific treatment for their condition.

Probably not a fit

Patients with other hematological disorders or active cancers, as well as minors, are unlikely to benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This study focuses on the functional and phenotypic characterization of monocytes in patients with Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and primary myelofibrosis. It aims to understand the role of monocytes and macrophages in the pathogenesis of these disorders, which are characterized by excessive production of myeloid cells due to specific genetic mutations. By analyzing monocyte signatures at diagnosis, the study seeks to uncover insights into the immune response and inflammation associated with MPNs. The findings could lead to a better understanding of the disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide new insights into the immune mechanisms underlying myeloproliferative neoplasms, potentially leading to improved treatment strategies.

How similar studies have gone: While the role of monocytes in MPNs has been underexplored, similar studies in other hematological conditions have shown promising results, indicating potential for success in this novel approach.
