Aspirin & Anagrelide

back to top

Regimen #1

Study Evidence Comparator
Harrison et al. 2005 (MRC PT-1) Phase III Aspirin & Hydroxyurea

Therapy

  • Anagrelide (Agrylin) 0.5 mg PO twice per day ("Doses were subsequently adjusted to maintain the platelet count at less than 400,000 per cubic millimeter.")
  • Aspirin 75 mg (100 mg in Australia) PO once per day

Regimen #2

Study Evidence Comparator
Gisslinger et al. 2013 (ANAHYDRET) Phase III Hydroxyurea +/- Aspirin

Therapy

  • Anagrelide (Agrylin) 0.5 mg PO twice per day ("increased until maintenance of the platelet count at normal (<=450 x 109/L) or close to normal levels (>450 x 109/L to 600 x 109/L)")
  • 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
