ELN multicenter analysis of phenotypic evolution and clinical outcomes

Official title: Unmasking Polycythemia Vera in Long-Standing Essential Thrombocythemia: A ELN-Multicenter Study on Phenotypic Evolution and Clinical Outcomes

Run by FROM- Fondazione per la Ricerca Ospedale di Bergamo- ETS · NCT07203768 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tries to find features linked to JAK2V617F-positive essential thrombocythemia (ET) patients who later developed polycythemia vera (PV) by comparing them with matched ET patients who did not progress and with patients diagnosed with de novo PV.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal participants are people diagnosed with ET under the 2022 ICC criteria who are JAK2V617F-positive and progressed to PV by December 31, 2020, plus matched ET controls and de novo PV cases treated at participating centers.

Probably not a fit

Patients without the JAK2V617F mutation, those whose diagnoses do not meet the 2022 ICC criteria, or patients whose progression occurred after December 31, 2020 are unlikely to be included or to benefit directly from the study findings.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is an international, multicenter retrospective observational study performed in two parts: a nested 1:1 matched case-control analysis (part A) and a comparative retrospective cohort study (part B). Part A will compare ET patients who progressed to PV (ET-to-PV cases) with matched ET controls based on year of diagnosis, age at diagnosis, and duration of ET. Part B will include patients with de novo PV to compare clinical features and outcomes with ET-to-PV cases. All diagnoses follow the 2022 International Consensus Classification criteria and data are abstracted from medical records through December 31, 2020.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this work could help doctors identify ET patients at higher risk of evolving to PV so they can be monitored more closely or offered earlier treatment.

How similar studies have gone: Prior retrospective and molecular studies have suggested markers associated with progression from ET to PV but have shown mixed results, so this larger multicenter matched design aims to clarify those associations.

Inclusion Criteria:

\- ET patients (diagnosed according to "International consensus classification of myeloid neoplasms and acute leukemias - 2022" criteria) who are JAK2V617F positive and have progressed to PV (diagnosed according to "International consensus classification of myeloid neoplasms and acute leukemias - 2022" criteria) by 31/12/2020. The date of PV diagnosis will be defined as the index date and this group of patients will be defined as ET-to-PV cases.

Exclusion Criteria:

* None.
