ATHN Transcends: A Natural History Study of Non-Neoplastic Hematologic Disorders

Launched by AMERICAN THROMBOSIS AND HEMOSTASIS NETWORK · May 20, 2020

ClinConnect Summary

The ATHN Transcends study is researching how safe and effective different treatments are for people with various non-cancerous blood disorders, such as hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, and other bleeding or clotting issues. This study is important because there are many new therapies available, but we need to understand how well they work over the long term and how they are used in everyday medical practice. The study will involve several groups of participants, each with specific types of blood disorders, to gather detailed information about their experiences and treatment outcomes.

Anyone with a bleeding disorder or a related condition may be eligible to participate, regardless of their age. To join, participants should have a diagnosed blood disorder, such as hemophilia or von Willebrand disease, or a bleeding tendency that has not yet been diagnosed. Throughout the study, participants can expect to share their medical history, undergo assessments, and provide feedback on their treatments. This valuable information will help healthcare providers improve care for individuals with these conditions. Additionally, participants will contribute to a better understanding of the long-term effects of new therapies, ultimately benefiting future patients.
