The following is the approach recommended by Vannucchi in How I Treat (2014).
Chemotherapy
- Hydroxyurea (Hydrea) 500 mg PO BID, with titration based on the target hematocrit and hematologic toxicity
Continued until treatment failure or intolerance

Study | Evidence |
Kiladjian et al. 2008 (PVN1) | Phase II |
Quintás-Cardama et al. 2009 | Phase II |
Quintás-Cardama et al. 2009 do not provide guidance on dose escalation or target dosing. Kiladjian et al. 2008 do not provide details on the dose escalation procedure.
Immunotherapy
- Peginterferon alfa-2a (Pegasys) 90 mcg SC once per week, titrated up every two weeks in the absence of toxicity to 135 mg SC once per week
- In the absence of hematologic response, dose increased to 180 mg SC once per week
Supportive medications
- Aspirin 100 mg PO once per day unless intolerant (Kiladjian et al. 2008)
Unspecified duration

Vannucchi et al. 2015 (RESPONSE) | Phase III | Standard therapy | Increased disease control |
There were several doses evaluated in Verstovsek et al. 2014; the median total daily dose was 21.7 mg corresponding to approximately 10 mg PO twice per day. The most common comparator in RESPONSE was hydroxyurea, followed by interferon and anagrelide.
Chemotherapy
- Ruxolitinib (Jakafi) 10 mg PO twice per day
Continued until progression or excess toxicity
