Registration Number
NCT06657846
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

This multicenter cross-sectional observational study aims to describe health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and symptom profiles of patients with VEXAS syndrome.

Detailed Description

Moreover, the study will investigate financial toxicity and treatment tolerability. To contextualize the results the data of VEXAS patients will be compared with a cohort of matched MDS patients.

The overall aim of the study is to establish benchmark HRQoL data to be used in future prospective studies and clinical trial design.
