Polycythemia Vera – Executive Insights – Executive Insights (US)
Polycythemia Vera (PV) is a rare hematological malignancy estimated to affect approximately 50 thousand patients in the United States. Based on patient’s age and prior clinical history patients can be classified into low- and high-risk PV; based on this classification, the treatment approach and patient’s prognosis are different. Pharmacologic treatment of PV patients includes hydroxyurea, interferons and ruxolitinib (Incyte’s Jakafi), and is considered adequate for a relatively large group of patients. However, there is not a curative therapy, and there is an unmet need for certain population segments. As such, there is a commercial opportunity for therapies that are able to differentiate form the current standard of care.
