Study whether O-type blood affects outcomes in MDS patients
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study looks at whether receiving red blood cell transfusions from O-type donors changes outcomes for people with low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It may help doctors choose which blood types to use to improve how patients feel and function over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have MDS (a bone marrow disorder) that is not leukemia, and is low-risk or intermediate-1
- Your MDS is considered stable by your clinician
- You have blood type A, B, or AB (not O)
- You need red blood cell transfusions about every 6 weeks or sooner (at least 2 units)
- You get these transfusions as an outpatient (not as an inpatient)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new drug called elritercept against a standard treatment, epoetin alfa, for people with a low-risk form of MDS who need regular blood transfusions for anemia. The goal is to see if elritercept works better to reduce the need for transfusions.
This trial tests three different treatments for people with a type of bone marrow disorder called low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that causes low red blood cells (anemia). The goal is to see which treatment works best and to find out more about the disease.
This study looks at how well transfusions work and how they affect quality of life in people with lower-risk MDS who need regular blood transfusions. The goal is to find what predicts a good transfusion response and to improve care.
This trial tests an investigational drug called elritercept for adults with a specific type of low-risk MDS (myelodysplastic syndromes) who have anemia (low red blood cells) and need regular blood transfusions. The goal is to see if elritercept can reduce or eliminate the need for transfusions.
This study checks whether a detailed blood-cell test can help diagnose myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a bone marrow condition that can cause low blood counts. Your results are compared with standard bone marrow testing to see how well the blood test performs.
This study is for people with MDS or AML who are not receiving treatment to cure the disease and need regular blood transfusions. It looks at whether using a quality-of-life questionnaire can guide transfusion decisions, to see if fewer transfusions can keep you feeling well.
