Evaluating inflammatory markers in patients with certain blood disorders
Official title: Evaluation of Inflammatory Markers in ph Negative Myeloproliferative Neoplasms: Impact on Outcome and Response to Therapy. Multicenter Retro-prospective Observational Study. The INFLA-ME (INFLAmmation in Myeloproliferative Disease) Study.
Run by University of Milano Bicocca · NCT05553873 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study looks at patients with specific blood disorders to see if certain inflammation markers can help predict how their disease will progress and their risk of complications.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older diagnosed with Philadelphia chromosome-negative MPN such as polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, or primary myelofibrosis.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with a life expectancy of less than 6 months or those in an accelerated phase of myelofibrosis may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on patients with Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) to assess inflammatory biomarkers and their trends over the course of the disease. It aims to identify correlations between these biomarkers and disease outcomes, particularly regarding thrombo-haemorrhagic events and disease progression. By analyzing historical data, the study seeks to enhance risk stratification and improve patient management strategies.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to better risk assessment and treatment strategies for patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms.
How similar studies have gone: While this study explores a specific aspect of myeloproliferative neoplasms, similar studies have shown promise in understanding the role of inflammatory markers in various diseases, suggesting potential for success.
