What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Hematologic remission rate at Week 24
Simultaneous achievement of HCT <45%, WBC <10×10⁹/L, and PLT ≤400×10⁹/L
Measured: Week 24
Secondary outcomes (6)
HCT remission rate
Proportion of patients achieving HCT <45% at 24 weeks
Measured: week 24
Time to HCT remission
Time from treatment initiation to HCT remission
Measured: Up to 24 weeks
Duration of HCT remission
Interval from first achievement of HCT remission to reappearance of HCT ≥45%
Measured: Through study completion, an average of 2 year
Proportion of patients achieving spleen reduction at 24 weeks
≥10% shortening of the longest spleen diameter by palpation or normalization of spleen size
Measured: Week 4, Week 12, Week 24
Proportion of patients achieving symptom improvement at 24 weeks
≥50% reduction in total symptom score on the MPN Symptom Assessment Form. The MPN-SAF-TSS is used to assess the symptom burden of patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms. The questionnaire also reflects the quality of life of patients to a certain extent. During the diagnosis and treatment process, the MPN-10 questionnaire includes 10 sub symptoms (fatigue, early satiety, abdominal discomfort, poor activity, lack of concentration, night sweats, skin itching, bone pain, fever, and weight loss). Each item is graded from 0 (none) to 10 (heaviest), with a total score of 0-100 points. The higher the total score, the heavier the symptom burden.
Measured: Week 4, Week 12, Week 24
Percentage reduction in JAK2 mutation burden after 24 weeks of treatment
Measured: Week 12, Week 24
