A Prospective, Non-interventional Study of JAKAVI® (Ruxolitinib) Treatment in Patients With Polycythemia Vera

Completed
Conditions
Polycythemia Vera
Interventions
Other: Jakavi
Registration Number
NCT05853445
Lead Sponsor
Novartis Pharmaceuticals
Brief 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.

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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
HematologyUp to 36 months

Number of patients with changes in different blood count values over time (hematocrit, erythrocytes, thrombocytes, leukocytes)

DosingUp to 36 months

Number of patients by initial dosing and number of patients with dose modifications will be provided

Change in spleen size (or volume)Up to 36 months

Measured by palpation/sonography/CT/MRI

Overall survivalUp to 36 months

Overall survival for JAK inhibitor naive and pretreated patients

Treatment interruptionsUp to 36 months

Number of patients with treatment interruptions

Quality of Life (QoL) - MPN-SAF TSS; MPN-10Up to 36 months

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.

Number of phlebotomiesUp to 36 months

Total number of phlebotomies

Thromboembolic eventsUp to 36 months

Number of patients with thromboembolic events.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in constitutional symptomsUp to 36 months

Number of patients with change in constitutional symptoms

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance statusUp to 36 months

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)

Molecular examinationUp to 36 months

Number of performed assessments of JAK2V617F mutation per visist

Quality of Life (QoL) - (SF-36)Up to 36 months

The Short Form-36 questionnaire consists of questions measuring physical function, physical role limitation, pain, general health, vitality, social function, emotional role limitations, and mental health status. The scores that can be obtained from the scale vary between 0 and 100 and the increase in the scores indicates that the quality of life is high.

Bone marrow aspiration and biopsyUp to 36 months

Number of Biopsies per visit
