Summary
This study tests whether the drug ruxolitinib can reduce troubling symptoms like fatigue and itching in people with low-risk essential thrombocythemia (ET) or polycythemia vera (PV). About 60 adults with significant symptom burden will take ruxolitinib and be monitored for improvement. The goal is symptom relief, not a cure, and participants will continue on medication as needed.
