Study of the natural course of KSHV-related Castleman disease

Multicentric Castleman s Disease

Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.

This study looks at how KSHV-associated multicentric Castleman disease naturally progresses over time, without necessarily testing a new treatment. It may help doctors better understand the disease and what changes to watch for, which could guide future care.
