About this study

Official title: Development of a Peripheral Blood Assay to Replace Bone Marrow Biopsy in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms- a Multi-center Observational Study

The PERIBLOOD-MPN study aims to develop and validate a minimally invasive peripheral blood test using single-cell RNA sequencing to accurately diagnose and classify myeloproliferative neoplasms, potentially reducing the need for invasive bone marrow biopsies.

Read the detailed description

PERIBLOOD-MPN is an observational, multi-center study that aims to collect data to develop a novel, minimally invasive diagnostic tool for myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) based on peripheral blood (PB) profiling of circulating hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (cHSPCs) using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Current diagnostic practice relies on bone marrow (BM) biopsy, a procedure that is invasive, technically demanding, and may be inconclusive in early or prefibrotic disease stages.

Prior work in the field has established a reference atlas of healthy cHSPC subtypes and a computational pipeline capable of identifying disease-specific transcriptional changes by quantifying deviations from this reference. This study will assess whether PB-based genomic profiling can accurately distinguish MPN from non-clonal cytoses, including secondary erythrocytosis or thrombocytosis.

Patients referred for a bone marrow biopsy due to suspected myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) will undergo PB collection for genomic profiling. The primary objective is to develop a PB-based test by comparing the new test's diagnoses to conventional BM-based diagnostics. The secondary objectives include evaluating its potential for MPN subtype classification and risk stratification, as well as assessing its ability to reduce the need for BM biopsies.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myeloproliferative Neoplasm, run by Weizmann Institute of Science.

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 15 inclusion and 2 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Sep 2026. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Liran Shlush, Prof. (+97289342247, liran.shlush@weizmann.ac.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To development PERIBLOOD-MPN Diagnostic Test (time frame: Three months following the PB sample). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 1 Sep 2026.
