Aaron Gerds, MD, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH, discusses a study evaluating hematocrit control among patients with high- and low-risk polycythemia vera (PV) receiving current standard of care (SoC) treatment in the United States, highlighting the challenges of maintaining hematocrit levels below 45% with current therapies. Dr Gerds notes that even with these treatments, many patients experience periods where their hematocrit levels are not well-controlled, which may increase the risk of thrombosis and other complications. This interview took place at the 67th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in Orlando, FL.
