New hope for easing debilitating symptoms in rare blood cancers

NCT ID NCT04644211

Summary

This study is testing whether the drug ruxolitinib can reduce the often severe symptoms experienced by people with low-risk essential thrombocythemia (ET) or polycythemia vera (PV). About 60 participants with significant symptom burdens will take the drug for at least 6 months to see if it improves their quality of life. The main goal is to see if the treatment can cut patients' total symptom scores in half.
