Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) with a diagnosed myeloproliferative neoplasm.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not increase physical activity tolerance or who have contraindications to exercise may see limited benefit.

What this trial studies
This randomized, monocenter study assigns adults with myeloproliferative neoplasms to either a tailored exercise program for 12 weeks or a usual-care waiting period, with cross-over access after the control phase. Researchers measure physical performance, daily activity, strength, and patient-reported outcomes at the start and end of the intervention. The primary endpoint is watts at the respiratory compensation point, a submaximal fitness marker, with online monitoring and biweekly feedback during training. Blinded assessors help prevent bias during performance testing. The goal is to determine whether structured exercise can improve fitness and quality of life in MPN patients.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience better physical fitness and quality of life due to a personalized exercise program.
How similar studies have gone: There have been no randomized intervention studies in MPN patients for physical training, making this a novel approach for this population.
