Guidelines

Given the rapid change in evidence in many areas of hematology/oncology, readers are encouraged to consider any guideline published 5+ years ago to be for historical purposes, only.

Study Dates of enrollment Evidence Comparator Comparative Efficacy
Gisslinger et al. 2013 (ANAHYDRET) 2002-2006 Phase 3 (E-switch-ooc) Hydroxyurea +/- Aspirin Non-inferior composite primary endpoint
Gisslinger et al. 2019 (TEAM-ET 2.0) NR Phase 3 (C) Anagrelide; prolonged release Non-inferior mean platelet count

Anticoagulation

Supportive therapy

  • ANAHYDRET: Neither aspirin nor Clopidogrel (Plavix) were required in the study, but patients who were already taking either drug for at least two weeks were allowed to continue taking it during the study per investigator discretion

Continued indefinitely

Dose and schedule modifications

  • ANAHYDRET: Anagrelide (Agrylin) increased until maintenance of the platelet count at normal (less than or equal to 450 x 109/L) or close to normal levels (450 to 600 x 109/L)
  • TEAM-ET 2.0: Anagrelide (Agrylin) titrated to goal platelet count of 150 to 400 x 109/L
