Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:
  • Patients with a (previously*) confirmed diagnosis of ET according to the criteria of the WHO in appendix A
  • Age 18-80 inclusive
  • Written informed consent
  • In case of previously diagnosed ET collagen fibrosis must be absent and reticulin fibrosis only minimal or absent in the bone marrow at entry

Registered patients are eligible for randomization if:

  • they fulfill the inclusion and exclusion criteria for registration
  • risk stratification is high risk
  • written informed consent for randomization is obtained

Risk stratification
Management of patients with ET will be risk based, according to risk stratification groups as defined below.

Low risk - all of the following:
a. Age < 60 years
b. No history of or current bleeding, arterial, venous or microvascular thrombosis
c. Platelet count < 1500x109/l
d. No cardiovascular risk factors

High risk - any of the following:
a. Age >= 60 years
b. A history of or current bleeding, arterial or venous thrombosis
c. Platelet count >= 1500x109/l

Intermediate risk:
a. Neither low nor high risk

Cardiovascular risk factors are defined as:

  • Hypercholesterolaemia (total cholesterol > 6 mmol/l);
  • Hypertension (systolic > 140 mmHg, diastolic > 90 mmHg);
  • Diabetes mellitus (according to the WHO criteria);

Family history of cardiovascular disease (>1 first degree family member with premature (<50 years) vascular disease);

  • Smoking (current smoking > 5 cigarettes per day);
  • Obesitas (BMI > 30).
Exclusion Criteria:
  • Patients with renal dysfunction (creatinin > 1.5 times ULN)
  • Patients with hepatic dysfunction (ALAT or ASAT > 2 times ULN or bilirubin > 1.5 times ULN)
  • Patients previously treated with interferon alpha, pegylated interferon alpha-2a or anagrelide
  • Patients with severe or refractory congestive cardiac failure defined as requiring multiple drug therapy
  • Patients with a clinical history of class III or IV cardiac disease; defined as breathlessness or pain of cardiac origin on minimal exertion or at rest
  • Patients with current severe arrhythmia e.g. ventricular tachycardia; atrial fibrillation is not an exclusion criterium
  • Patients with thyroid dysfunction not responsive to therapy
  • Patients who are known to be HIV-positive
  • Patients with active and/or uncontrolled infection, including active hepatitis
  • Patients with active malignancies
  • Patients with a history of neuropsychiatric disorder requiring hospitalization
  • Patients who have received any experimental therapy within 30 days prior to enrolment in this study
  • Female patients who are pregnant, nursing or of reproductive potential and who are not practising effective means of contraception
