Registry and biorepository for clonal hematopoiesis and its effects on health
Official title: Discovering Outcomes in Clonal Hematopoiesis: The Clonal Hematopoiesis and Inflammation in VasculaturE (CHIVE) Registry and Biorepository
Run by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center · NCT06701214 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to understand how clonal hematopoiesis affects health, especially heart risks and blood cancers, by collecting information and samples from patients with this condition or those at higher risk.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with clonal hematopoiesis, idiopathic cytopenia, or those at higher risk due to existing health conditions.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with active hematologic malignancies will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to investigate the relationship between clonal hematopoiesis (CH) and various health conditions, particularly focusing on cardiovascular risks and hematologic malignancies. It will establish the CHIVE Registry to collect data from patients with CH or those at elevated risk, enhancing the understanding of clinical outcomes and co-morbidities associated with CH. Additionally, the study will create a biorepository for patient samples to facilitate research on the natural history of CH and its implications for health.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved understanding and management of health risks associated with clonal hematopoiesis, potentially reducing the incidence of related diseases.
How similar studies have gone: While the specific approach of this study is novel, previous research has indicated that understanding clonal hematopoiesis can provide valuable insights into associated health risks.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Patient greater than or equal to 18 years old at time of consent * Able to provide informed consent * Idiopathic cytopenia (ICUS) or idiopathic cytoses (elevated blood counts without disease or explanation); clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS), clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) or individuals at higher risk for clonal hematopoiesis (ex. patients with known diagnosis of solid tumors or cardiovascular disease) Exclusion Criteria: * Unable to provide consent * Diagnosis of active hematologic malignancy. For example, a diagnosis of CMML, AML, MDS, MPN; History of hematologic malignancy is NOT exclusionary if in complete remission (e.g. previous myeloma or lymphoma)
