What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the real-world effectiveness of fedratinib in patients diagnosed with primary myelofibrosis or post-polycythemia vera and post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis. It will include both prospective and retrospective data collection from multiple Italian Hematology Units belonging to the GIMEMA Organization. Participants will be managed according to the clinical practices of their respective centers, and the study will enroll patients who meet specific diagnostic criteria and reimbursement guidelines for fedratinib. The study will include patients at various stages of the disease, except those in blast phase.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older diagnosed with primary myelofibrosis or post-polycythemia vera or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis.

Not a fit: Patients with unclassifiable myeloproliferative neoplasms, myelodysplastic syndromes, or those in blast phase of myelofibrosis may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of fedratinib for treating myelofibrosis, potentially improving patient outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar treatments in myelofibrosis, but this specific approach is being evaluated in a real-world setting, making it a novel contribution.
