Your donations allow us to meet the needs of people with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). At MPN Voice we strive to help people with MPNs to live the best lives they can.
Education and support make up about half our annual investment. Starting in 2009 we began to invest in drug research, with the trial of the drug vorinostat in people with essential thrombocythaemia (ET) and polycythaemia vera (PV). In 2011 we offered grants to researchers for both baseline and drug research and in 2013 we funded the first part of the the MOSAICC epidemiology study for MPNs, we are continuing to support this study with annual grants. In recent years we have also been able to contribute to the funding towards the Mithridate trials and Covid vaccine studies.
At MPN Voice we rely entirely upon donations and fundraising from individuals, trusts and various companies.
In the past year, funding to support MPN Voice activities has been granted by the following pharmaceutical companies:
Abbvie
