Drafting a blueprint for designing successful clinical trials in clonal haematopoiesis

Abstract

‘As our understanding of the biology of clonal hematopoiesis expands, a pressing need in the field becomes the design and implementation of clinical trials to help mitigate the risk for progression to overt myeloid neoplasm. Effective clinical trial design will be informed by use of personalized genetic risk to determine eligibility, strategic endpoint selection, and identification of suitable interventions with a goldilocks balance of toxicity and reduced risk of progression. We will only reach this milestone through collaboration’.Commentary on: Haque et al. A blueprint for pursuing therapeutic interventions and early phase clinical trials in clonal haematopoiesis.
