ASH 2022 | Results from the MAJIC-PV trial: ruxolitinib vs BAT for hydroxyurea resistant/intolerant PV

Claire Harrison, MD, FRCP, FRCPath, Guy’s and St Thomas’s NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK, discusses results from the MAJIC-PV trial (ISRCTN61925716) of ruxolitinib vs best available therapy (BAT) for the treatment of hydroxyurea intolerant/resistant polycythemia vera (PV). Complete response (CR) and event-free survival (EFS) were significantly increased in the ruxolitinib group compared to the BAT group. A decrease in JAK2V617F allele fraction also correlated with increased EFS. This interview took place at the 64th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition Congress held in New Orleans, LA.
