Recruiting studies in California
- NCT04873102RecruitingPhase 2
Danazol for low blood counts in some people with cirrhosis
This Phase 2 study tests danazol to improve low blood counts (low white blood cells and/or low platelets) in people with certain types of cirrhosis. It also looks at who may benefit, especially those with specific inherited blood-telomere changes.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06063486RecruitingPhase 2
Curcumin for inflammation and symptoms in blood disorders
This trial tests whether curcumin, a natural compound found in turmeric, can reduce inflammation and improve symptoms like fatigue in people with certain blood disorders that cause low blood counts or overproduction of blood cells. It is for patients with clonal cytopenia of uncertain significance, low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome, or myeloproliferative neoplasms (polycythemia vera, essential thrombocytosis, or myelofibrosis) who have bothersome symptoms.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07081087Recruiting
Can a blood test replace bone marrow biopsy for low blood counts?
This study tries to see if blood tests can replace a bone marrow biopsy for people with low blood counts (cytopenia) and suspected MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome). It aims to make diagnosis less invasive by using a simple blood draw instead of a bone marrow sample.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04419649RecruitingPhase 2
Elritercept for anemia in lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes
This trial tests elritercept, a medicine meant to improve anemia (low blood count) in adults with certain lower-risk bone marrow disorders called MDS. If you qualify, the study may help reduce the need for blood transfusions or improve anemia symptoms.

What taking part in a cytopenia study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there cytopenia clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 4 recruiting cytopenia studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a cytopenia study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a cytopenia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
