Study summary

Jakavi® therapy for polycythemia vera (PV) has so far been studied exclusively in clinical trials and at selected clinical trial centres. This observational study is intended to document the therapy of PV in daily practice with a broad patient population and a geographically representative selection of German centres (both hospitals and practices). The prospective mapping of daily practice reality is thus the main goal of this project.

Read the detailed description

To achieve meaningful results in accordance with the study objective and to obtain long-term data from daily clinical practice in a real-world setting, the observation period under Jakavi® therapy is specified as 36 months.

  7. Quality of Life (QoL) - MPN-SAF TSS; MPN-10

    The Myeloproliferative Neoplasm (MPN) Symptom Assessment Form Total Symptom Score (MPN-SAF TSS; MPN-10) questionnaire contains the ten most clinically relevant symptoms reported by patients with MPNs. It includes disease related symptoms each scored from 0 (absent) to 10 (worst imaginable). Total Scores range from 0-100, with higher scores indicating a greater number of symptoms and severity.

    Time frame: Up to 36 months

  8. Thromboembolic events

    Number of patients with thromboembolic events.

    Time frame: Up to 36 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status

    The ECOG performance status is a scale used to assess how a patient's disease is progressing, assess how the disease affects the daily living abilities of the patient, and determine appropriate treatment and prognosis. The grade ranges from 0 (fully active, able to carry on all pre-disease performance without restriction) to 5 (dead)

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 6, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
