Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

How widespread is access to this clinical trial?

"Fifteen separate medical centres are currently running this trial, such as the University of Arizona Cancer Center in Tucson (ID# 157503), Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston (ID# 155361) and Columbia Univ Medical Center in New york City (ID# 156388). These three locations are among a total of fifteen."

Answered by AI

To what extent is subject participation in this medical experiment expanding?

"At this point, no more participants are being accepted for the study. It was initially listed on March 7th 2017 and last updated August 8th 2022. Fortunately there are 1,595 myelodysplastic syndromes studies recruiting patients as well as 340 trials actively searching for those interested in taking venetoclax."

Answered by AI

To what degree do patients risk harm when taking venetoclax?

"There is sparse clinical data confirming the safety of venetoclax, so it was given a score of 1."

Answered by AI

What health conditions have been treated with venetoclax?

"Venetoclax is used to treat induction chemotherapy and has been proven effective in treating certain refractory anemias, leukemias, myelocytic disorders, acute dysplasia as well as multilineage ones."

Answered by AI

Are there any other trials that have utilized venetoclax to make medical progress?

"Venetoclax research began at the Chinese University of Hong Kong-Prince of Wales Hospital in 2006 and, to date, there have been 208 trials completed. Currently, 340 studies are recruiting participants with many based in Tucson, Arizona."

Answered by AI

Are participants being accepted for this research project at the present time?

"Unfortunately, presently there are no openings in this trial. When first posted on March 7th 2017 and last updated on August 8 2022, the study had concluded its recruitment phase. As of now, 1595 trials related to myelodysplastic syndromes and 340 studies concerning venetoclax require participants."
