Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

All patients

Arm Description

All patients will receive ruxolitinib at a starting dose of 10 mg twice daily which could be titrated to most appropriate dose. Dose was not to exceed 25 mg bid nor be less than 5 mg once a day

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants With Adverse Events - All Grades
Summary of adverse events (all grades).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline in Hematocrit Levels at All Visits
Change in hematocrit levels from Baseline to each visit were measured
Change From Baseline in Spleen Length
Change in spleen length from Baseline to each visit
Change From Baseline in Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Symptom Assessment Form Total Symptom Score (MPN-SAF TSS)
The MPN-SAF (Appendix 6) was a disease specific questionnaire comprised of 10 items that measures fatigue related to MPN disease and the severity of nine of the most prevalent associated symptoms including: early satiety, abdominal discomfort, inactivity, concentration, night sweats, itching, bone pain, fever and weight loss. There were three recall periods used in this questionnaire, which were 24 hours for fatigue, the past week for symptoms of early satiety, abdominal discomfort, inactivity, concentration, night sweats, itching, bone pain and fever, and the past 6 months for weight loss, Each item was scored on a scale ranging from 0 (no fatigue/absent) to 10 (As bad as you can imagine/worst imaginable). The MPN-SAF TSS was computed as the average of the observed items multiplied by 10 to achieve a 0-to-100 scale. The MPN-SAF TSS thus had a possible score range of 0 to 100.
