Mean Platelet Volume and Its Relation to Risk Stratification of Myelodysplastic Syndromes
An observational study of Myelodysplastic Syndromes, run by Assiut University.
Trial summary
The myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of myeloid neoplasms characterized by abnormal differentiation and maturation of myeloid cells, reduced bone marrow (BM) function, and a genetic instability with enhanced risk to transform to secondary acute myeloid leukemia, AML Read more about this study

About this study
The myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of myeloid neoplasms characterized by abnormal differentiation and maturation of myeloid cells, reduced bone marrow (BM) function, and a genetic instability with enhanced risk to transform to secondary acute myeloid leukemia, AML
Read the detailed description
The diagnosis of MDS is an effort that requires clinicians and pathologists to work together. A patient's life, livelihood and outlook can be profoundly affected by the terms used by the treating physician. The typical presentation is unexplained anemia, leukopenia and/or thrombocytopenia, in an older patients (median age ≥ 70 years). However, thrombocytosis may be associated with the 5q-deletion syndrome or in selected patients with refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts syndrome . The white count may be elevated in MDS / myeloproliferative disorder overlap syndromes particularly in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, CMML.
MDS remains among the most challenging of the myeloid neoplasms to diagnose and classify, particularly in cases in which the blast percentage is not increased in the peripheral blood or bone marrow. Diagnostic problems can arise when the clinical and laboratory findings suggest MDS, but the morphologic findings are inconclusive; when there is secondary dysplasia caused by nutritional deficiencies, medications, toxins, growth factor therapy, inflammation or infection; or when marrow hypocellularity or myelofibrosis obscures the underlying disease process .
The prognosis of MDS is determined by several factors. Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) for MDS divides patients into very low, low, intermediate, high and very high risk groups. Five factors (the percentage of bone marrow myeloblasts, the diagnostic cytogenetics, the hemoglobin level, the platelet count and the absolute neutrophilic count) are used to generate a prognostic score .

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Myelodysplastic Syndromes, run by Assiut University.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
mean platelet volume (time frame: at diagnosis (baseline)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05204953, which also lists 6 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jan 2022.
