Hematology Biobank for Blood Disorders

This study is creating a biobank, which is like a library of blood samples, from people with different hematological disorders (blood conditions). Researchers want to collect blood samples and medical information to better understand these conditions. You might be able to join if you are over 12 years old, are a patient at Montefiore-Einstein, and are being cared for by a Montefiore-Einstein hematologist for a blood disorder. The goal is to have this biobank available for future research for at least 5 years, which will help scientists learn more about blood disorders. The current status of this study is unclear.

Study design
This is an observational study aiming to enroll 2000 participants. It is collecting blood samples and medical histories to create a biobank.
What's involved
Blood samples will be collected, either from leftover samples from routine care or by specifically donating 1-5 tubes (3-20 ml) of blood, often during a regular visit.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The biobank is planned to be maintained for 5 years.
