MPN PROGRESSion Registry: Observational Study Tracking Symptoms, Treatments, and Disease Progression in People With Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs)

The MPN PROGRESSion Registry is a multi-year, observational research study designed to improve understanding of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs)-a group of rare, chronic blood cancers that include polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), primary myelofibrosis (MF), pre-fibrotic primary myelofibrosis (pre-PMF), secondary myelofibrosis, myeloproliferative neoplasm-unclassifiable (MPN-U), MPN in accelerated phase (MPN-AP), and MPN in blast phase (MPN-BP), post-MPN Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), and MDS/MPN overlap syndrome as defined above per WHO 2022 criteria, including patients originally diagnosed with one of these conditions but who have received one or more SCTs and/or BMTs . These conditions are characterized by abnormal blood cell production in the bone marrow and may lead to complications such as blood clots, bleeding, bone marrow fibrosis, and, in some cases, progression to acute leukemia. The central hypothesis of the registry is that collecting and analyzing real-world, longitudinal data-including electronic health records (EHRs), laboratory values, treatments, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs)-from a diverse population of people living with MPNs will help identify patterns and predictors of disease progression, treatment response, quality of life, and long-term outcomes. These insights are intended to guide future research, inform clinical guidelines, and support improvements in patient care. The registry is non-interventional and observational; participants do not receive investigational treatments, and all medical care continues under the supervision of their own physicians. Data collection includes EHRs, PRO surveys, patient-reported symptom and lab tracking, insurance claims, and, in the future, may include linkages with other relevant disease registries and datasets. Potential collaborations under consideration include those with the European LeukemiaNet (ELN) MPN Registry, the Mayo Clinic MPN Database, the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR), the SEER Program, Harmony Alliance Foundation, and the National Cancer Database (NCDB). The registry emphasizes the patient voice, incorporating lived experiences related to hallmark MPN symptoms such as fatigue, pruritus (itching), bone pain, night sweats, and social and emotional impacts. Participants will be followed for at least five years, with many enrolled for ten years or longer, to capture the natural history of disease and long-term outcomes. PRO surveys will be completed approximately every six months, and EHR data will be regularly reviewed to track changes in clinical status, treatment, and disease evolution. Statistical analyses will use descriptive and inferential methods to examine clinical characteristics, symptom burden, disease trajectories, and patient-centered outcomes. Planned subgroup analyses may compare differences across diagnoses, treatment approaches, demographics, or genomic factors. Analytic plans will be finalized during the course of the study and may evolve in response to emerging scientific questions. The registry is open to adults (18 years or older) living in the United States who have been diagnosed with any of the included MPN subtypes and are willing to share health information and complete study surveys. Individuals currently enrolled in interventional clinical trials or unable to provide informed consent may be excluded. Participation is voluntary, and participants may withdraw from the study at any time without affecting their medical care. Privacy and data security are core priorities. Participant data will be securely stored and managed in accordance with all applicable privacy laws and research regulations. No identifiable information will be shared with external parties without appropriate authorization. Oversight is provided by a Steering Committee and a Patient Engagement Advisory Committee (PEAC), ensuring rigorous scientific, ethical, and patient-centered governance. The registry is sponsored by the MPN Research Foundation, a nonprofit organization advancing research and patient advocacy in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). Participants can contact the registry team at any time with questions and will receive periodic updates on study findings. This study aims to address critical gaps in understanding the real-world experiences of people with MPNs-such as symptom burden over time, risk factors for progression, and how different treatments impact patient outcomes. Findings may inform clinical trial design, support biomarker discovery, and contribute to the development of updated treatment recommendations. The registry is committed to including participants from diverse backgrounds and clinical settings to ensure findings are broadly applicable across the MPN community. Summary results will be shared through scientific publications, presentations, and other dissemination efforts to advance MPN research and care globally.

Potential Biological and Physiological Determinants for Exercice in Patients With Polycythemia Vera

Polycythemia vera (PV) is a rare haematological disorder characterized by an excessive production of red blood cells, associated with the somatic JAK2 V617F mutation. Clinical manifestations are varied and often include exercise intolerance but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Physical activity is recommended in the management of chronic diseases, but it must be tailored to the physiological profile of the patient. A cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is essential to ensure safety, detect possible contraindications, and assess maximal oxygen uptake (VO₂max), a key indicator of aerobic performance. This prospective, experimental, non-randomized study will include patients with PV followed at Lyon Sud University Hospital and for which a CPET is scheduled in their routine clinical follow-up. The primary objective is to compare VO₂max between two groups of patients: moderate (\<10%) versus marked (≥10%) extent of blood viscosity increase after the completion of the CPET. The main hypothesis is that a significant increase in blood viscosity during exercise (≥10%) is a major limiting factor in oxygen transport and leads to a reduced VO₂max, reflecting impaired exercise tolerance. Secondary analyses will focus on hemorheological parameters, tissue oxygenation, and cardiorespiratory and metabolic responses. The study aims to better understand the biological and physiological determinants of exercise intolerance in this population.

MethoTRExATE in MyelOpRolifErative Neoplasms (TREATMORE) Trial

Low-dose MTX is a widely used, inexpensive, and safe therapy used for decades and is well tolerated by patients with rheumatologic diseases. Recently, it was identified as a type 2 JAK inhibitor. If MTX proves to be safe and tolerable with a signal of clinical activity, this could have a significant benefit to patients with MPNs. Beyond the potential benefit of adding a type 2 JAK inhibitor to current therapy, this could signal the need to study MTX in MPNs further as a monotherapy. Discovering MTX as safe and clinically effective in MPNs could be profound on both a public health and global health scale for patients who are uninsured and cannot afford more expensive novel JAK inhibitors, or for those in countries where JAK inhibitors are not available. Accordingly, the research team deems it reasonable and prudent to assess the safety and efficacy of MTX in addition to current therapy for patients with MPN. The research team will evaluate patients for spleen responses, symptom responses, and cytologic responses. Correlative data will evaluate pharmacokinetic and disease modifying activity of MTX in MPNs to inform future clinical trials.

The Ruxo-BEAT Trial in Patients With High-risk Polycythemia Vera or High-risk Essential Thrombocythemia

The Philadelphia chromosome negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) comprise a group of clonal hematological malignancies that are characterized by chronic myeloproliferation, splenomegaly, different degrees of bone marrow fibrosis, and disease-related symptoms including pruritus, night sweats, fever, weight loss, cachexia, and diarrhea. In addition, due to elevated numbers of leucocytes, erythrocytes and/or platelets, the disease course can be complicated by thromboembolic disease, hemorrhage, and leukemic transformation as well as myelofibrosis. Patients with polycythemia vera (PV) typically harbor an increased number of blood cells from all three hematopoietic cell lineages due to clonal amplification of hematopoetic stem cells, while patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET) typically show a predominant expansion of the megakaryocytic lineage. Most patients with PV below the age of 60 years are currently being treated with acetylsalicylic acid +/- phlebotomy only, and patients with low-risk ET have an almost normal life expectancy and often do not require specific treatment. However, PV- as well as ET-patients with a higher risk for complications require cytoreductive treatment. In addition, constitutional symptoms can be unbearable to patients even in the absence of bona fide high risk factors, and these patients may similarly benefit from antineoplastic therapy.

Unraveling the Role of Extracellular Vesicles-driven Senescence in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

In this study the aim is to investigate the pathogenetic role of extracellular vesicles and senescence in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms. In particular, the goal of this project is to identify possible EV-based biomarkers of senescence according to gender, which are disease-specific, biology-related, and predictive of short-term outcome in terms of Event-Free Survival and to define personalized targets for new therapeutic approaches.
