Clonal hematopoiesis study for people 55+
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study looks at a condition called clonal hematopoiesis (CH), where some blood cells have changes that may affect their health. It aims to prevent, treat, and better understand CH. You may qualify if you are 55 or older and have low blood counts that persist over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 55 years old or older.
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of clonal hematopoiesis or possible CH, which includes having low blood counts (like low white cells, red cells, or platelets) that have been seen at least twice, 4 months apart.
- You must be willing to give written permission to take part in the study.
- Your low blood counts must not be severe (for example, your white count must be above 0.5, your hemoglobin above 80, and your platelets above 50).
- You must not have very low counts in more than one type of blood cell at the same time (as defined in the study).

This trial tests a new approach to slow or stop the growth of abnormal blood stem cells in people at high risk for developing blood cancers. It is for older adults with low blood counts and specific genetic changes in their blood cells.
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 health problems like heart disease or blood disorders, while others stay healthy. Depending on your situation, you might join a group that has these changes but no health issues, or a group that has them along with specific conditions.
This study collects blood samples and health information from people with certain unexplained blood cell changes or those at higher risk for them, to learn how these changes relate to inflammation and heart health.
This study tests whether eating more plant-based whole foods can help people with clonal hematopoiesis (a condition where blood cells grow from a single mutated cell). Researchers want to understand if dietary changes affect this condition and collect health information over time.
This study collects medical information and blood samples from people with myelodysplastic syndrome (a blood disorder affecting how bone marrow makes blood cells) or related conditions. The goal is to understand these diseases better and improve care.
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.
