Identifying MPN-Specific Immune Targets in Blood and Bone Marrow

Official title: Identification of MPN-specific Antigens and Anti-MPN TCRs in Myeloproliferative Neoplasm

Run by Université Catholique de Louvain · NCT07590986 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether certain T cells in adults with MPN can recognize MPN cells and what antigens those T cells target.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults diagnosed with PV, ET, pre-PMF, overt PMF, or unclassifiable MPN, or suspected MPN.

Probably not a fit

Healthy individuals without hematologic disease do not have MPN and are not expected to benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study collects blood and bone marrow samples from adults with myeloproliferative neoplasms (including PV, ET, PMF, and related conditions) and compares them with samples from healthy donors. Researchers will look for T cells in the bone marrow that can recognize MPN cells and identify the antigens and TCRs involved. The goal is to find immune targets that could inform future immune-based therapies for MPN. No intervention is involved; samples are used for laboratory analyses to understand immune responses.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the work could identify targets for future immune therapies against MPN.

How similar studies have gone: Similar immune-target discovery approaches have yielded viable targets in other cancers, but specific MPN targets require confirmation.
