Curcumin vs. Placebo

A Phase 2, Double-blind, Randomized Study to Compare the Effect of Curcumin Versus Placebo on Inflammatory Cytokines, Symptoms and Disease Parameters in Clonal Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance (CCUS), Low-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (LR-MDS), and Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs)

What's the purpose of the trial?

This phase II trial evaluates how a curcumin supplement (C3 complex/Bioperine) changes the inflammatory response and symptomatology in patients with clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS), low risk myelodysplastic syndrome (LR-MDS), and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). Chronic inflammation drives disease development and contributes to symptoms experienced by patients with CCUS, LR-MDS, and MPN. Curcumin has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties and has been studied in various chronic illnesses and hematologic diseases.
