PV Disease Understanding

PV Overview

Polycythemia Vera is a rare blood disease in which the body makes excessive red blood cells. The extra red blood cells make the blood thicker than normal PV is the most common myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), the ultimate phenotype of the JAK2V1617F mutation. PV shares in common with its companion MPN, essential thrombocytosis (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF), origin in a hematopoietic stem cell (HSC), constitutive activation of hematopoiesis with overproduction of morphologically normal blood cells, a tendency to extramedullary hematopoiesis, and transformation to bone marrow failure with myelofibrosis or acute leukemia, although at varying frequencies in each MPN, and JAK2 kinase mutation is behind the shared phenotypic features of all the above mentioned MPN’s.

PV usually occurs at an elderly age, and patients are at a higher risk than the usual percentage, as they are more prone to the risks and other comorbidities. Possible risk factors of PV include blood clots, splenomegaly, problems due to high levels of red blood cells, other blood disorders, etc.

Many individuals with PV receive treatment with certain drugs (myelosuppressive drugs) that suppress the formation of blood cells by the marrow. A chemotherapy drug known as hydroxyurea is most often used, along with another chemotherapy drug known as busulfan. Other drugs, such as chlorambucil and radioactive phosphorous, have been used. Still, these drugs, especially in individuals requiring long-term therapy, have been associated with an increased risk of leukemia. Ruxolitinib and ropeginterferon alfa-2B are the two FDA-approved drugs for the treatment of PV.

PV Epidemiology

The disease epidemiology covered in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by total prevalent cases of PV, prevalent population of PV based on symptoms, gender-specific cases of PV, prevalence of PV by gene mutation, prevalence of PV based on risk, and age-specific prevalence of PV, in the 7MM market covering the United States, EU4 countries (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) the United Kingdom, and Japan from 2021 to 2034.

Key Findings
