Myeloproliferative Neoplasms clinical trials at UCSF
2 in progress, 1 open to eligible people
Myeloproliferative neoplasms are diseases where the bone marrow makes too many blood cells. UCSF is recruiting younger patients with cancer to gather health information over time. This research helps us understand these diseases better.
Project: Every Child for Younger Patients With Cancer
open to eligible people ages up to 25 years
This study gathers health information for the Project: Every Child for younger patients with cancer. Gathering health information over time from younger patients with cancer may help doctors find better methods of treatment and on-going care.

Response-Based Chemotherapy in Treating Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia or Myelodysplastic Syndrome in Younger Patients With Down Syndrome
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
This phase III trial studies response-based chemotherapy in treating newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome in younger patients with Down syndrome. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Response-based chemotherapy separates patients into different risk groups and treats them according to how they respond to the first course of treatment (Induction I). Response-based treatment may be effective in treating acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome in younger patients with Down syndrome while reducing the side effects.
