Carotid Plaque Burden in Patients With Philadelphia Negative Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

Study Purpose

In around 90% of the patients with MPNs, an acquired mutation that promotes JAK/STAT signaling is identified [3, 4]. The JAK/STAT pathway transduces signals from cytokines including erythropoietin, thrombopoietin, and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.24 A point mutation that activates JAK2, JAK2V617F, is present in around 95% of patients with PV and 40% to 60% of patients with ET and MF

Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Observational
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT05993052
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

All patients will be subjected to a thorough assessment of history, complete clinical examination, and investigations as complete blood picture including neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio which will be analyzed with automated blood count analyzers, serum uric acid, serum creatinine and lipid profile. All patients will undergo carotid imaging using Colour Doppler ultrasonography for assessment of carotid plaque burden. The control group will undergo carotid ultrasonography who will be recruited among apparently healthy volunteers aiming to match the patient group regarding age, sex and classical risk factors for atherosclerosis as arterial hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, smoking or obesity.
