Study blood cell changes in older adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood-forming stem cells change in people with clonal hematopoiesis (CHIP), a common age-related blood condition. It may help researchers understand what these changes mean and who might be at higher risk for future blood problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 65 years old or older
- You must not already have a known blood disorder (such as myelodysplasia or leukemia)
- You must not have a known blood cancer
- You must be able to sign written informed consent (or have someone who can help you do so)

This study looks at how certain age-related changes in blood cells, called clonal hematopoiesis, affect inflammation and health. It aims to understand why some people with these changes develop heart problems or blood disorders, which could guide future prevention.
This study follows adults who have certain blood-cell DNA changes (CHIP or CCUS) to learn how their condition may progress over time. It mainly looks at natural history—what happens in the blood without giving an active treatment.
This study follows people who may have early, unclear blood count problems or certain genetic/immune patterns that can later lead to bone marrow failure or blood cancers. It may help doctors better understand risks over time and guide earlier care.
This study collects information and samples around the time of certain bone or joint surgeries (like joint replacement or fracture repair) to learn what factors help or harm bone healing. The results may help find better targets to improve long-term bone health and recovery.
This study uses a simple blood test to look for early signs of bone loss and fracture risk. It's for people 40 and older who are either healthy, have early bone thinning, or have known osteoporosis.
This study examines why some older adults develop changes in their blood cells that may affect their health. Researchers will look for links between these blood changes, aging, and common health problems in older people.
