Tissue Banking Study - Polycythemia Vera or Essential Thrombocythemia (PV & ET) Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to isolate and characterize stem cells of patients with Polycythemia Vera (PV) and Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) to find out why these cells are not working the way they should be and why they seem to be sensitive to regulatory factors in the blood, such as clotting.

Detailed Description
Specific Aim 1: Assess the effects of RG7112 on MPN HSC/HPC p53 levels and study how it affects MPN stem cell function.
Specific Aim 2. Assess the effects of a combination of low doses of IFNα and RG7112 on MPN HSC/HPC.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Stem cell function [at one time study visit]
Assess the effects of RG7112 on MPN HSC/HPC p53 levels and study how it affects MPN stem cell function.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- CD34+ cells assays [at one time study visit]
Assess the effects of a combination of low doses of IFNα and RG7112 on MPN HSC/HPC. After treatment with RG7112 and IFNα at the various doses, p53, MDM2, MDMX, phosphor-p38, and phosphor-STAT1 levels in MPN CD34+ cells will be measured using monoclonal antibody staining and flow cytometric and immunofluorescence analyses.
