PATIENTS CARACTERISTICS24 months after inclusion

Patients with and without donor

* Rate of patients with donor who benefit from a transplantation:

* Comorbidity score at registration and after 3 months

* Platelet and red blood cells transfusion independency

* Performance status evolution (ECOG)

* General symptoms related to myelofibrosis (questionnaire MF SAF)

* Comparison of haematological response in patients with or without donor

* Spleen size evolution

* Comparison of quality of life in patients with and without (questionnaire EORTC)

* Comparison of overall survival in patients with and without donor

* Incidence of severe infections

* Cytokine measure at registration, 3, and 7 months after inclusion (centralization)

* MPL JAK status (at registration, centralization

HSCT24 months after inclusion

* Rate of pre-graft splenectomy

* Co-morbidity score defined by Sorror et al before RUXOLITINIB and after 4-month treatment just before transplantation

* Post-graft haematological recovery: time to neutrophil engraftment, platelet and red blood cells transfusion independency

* Acute GVHD grade II-IV incidence

* Chronic GVHD incidence

* Overall survival, disease-free survival, non-relapse mortality

* JAK2V617E allele burden and status at registration, 3, 7, 16 months after inclusion (centralization)
