Molecular evidence option
Trial or research option
  • SRC-CIVIC: Level D (Supports, Sensitivity/Response)
JAK2 V617F is one of three defining drivers in essential thrombocythemia (~50-60%; CALR ~25-30%, MPL ~3-5%, triple-negative ~10-15%) and a WHO 2022 / ICC 2022 major diagnostic criterion (per SRC-NCCN-MPN-2025, SRC-ESMO-MPN-2015). Treatment is risk-stratified by IPSET-thrombosis (age, prior thrombosis, JAK2 V617F positivity, cardiovascular risk factors); high-risk → cytoreduction with hydroxyurea (PT1 trial Harrison 2005 — superior thrombosis-free survival vs anagrelide in HU-naive ET); low-risk → low-dose aspirin alone (or observation in CALR-mutated very-low-risk per SRC-ESMO-MPN-2015).low-dose aspirin (low-risk per SRC-NCCN-MPN-2025)
hydroxyurea + aspirin (high-risk 1L per SRC-PT1-HARRISON-2005)
interferon-alpha (preferred for younger high-risk per SRC-NCCN-MPN-2025, SRC-ESMO-MPN-2015)
anagrelide (HU-resistant/intolerant 2L)

Red flags — PRO / CONTRA aggressive

PRO-AGGRESSIVE

Triggers that push toward the aggressive track
  • ET transformation to post-ET myelofibrosis (~5-10% over 15 years) or to AML / MDS (rare ~1-5%): rising LDH, new splenomegaly, leukoerythroblastic smear, increasing reticulin fibrosis on trephine, blast appearance — re-stage, switch to MF or AML algorithmRF-ET-TRANSFORMATION-PROGRESSION
  • PV or ET patient elderly or frail (age ≥80, ECOG ≥3, multiple comorbidities, life expectancy <5 years) — gentler cytoreduction (lower HU dose), expanded transfusion + monitoring strategyRF-PV-ET-FRAILTY-AGE
  • PV or ET high-risk for thrombosis: age >60 OR prior arterial / venous thrombosis OR (ET only) JAK2 V617F + CV risk factors (IPSET-thrombosis high) — triggers cytoreduction (HU 1L) in addition to baseline phlebotomy + ASARF-PV-ET-HIGH-THROMBOSIS-RISK
  • PV or ET patient with organ dysfunction limiting cytoreductive choice: severe renal impairment (CrCl <30 — limits HU), severe hepatic dysfunction (limits ruxolitinib), or severe cardiac dysfunction (limits anagrelide)RF-PV-ET-ORGAN-DYSFUNCTION
  • PV or ET patient pregnant or planning pregnancy — HU and anagrelide contraindicated; switch to interferon-α (PEG-IFN-α2a or ropeginterferon)RF-PV-ET-PREGNANCY-OR-PLANNING

CONTRA-AGGRESSIVE

Hard contraindications to escalation

What NOT to do

Explicit prohibitive rules, each grounded in a regimen / supportive care / contraindication entity
Aggressive plan (IND-ET-1L-HU)
  • Do not prescribe HU during pregnancy / pregnancy plans — switch to IFN-α.
  • Do not skip monthly CBC for the first 3 months — myelosuppression-titrating.
  • Do not use anagrelide 1L — PT-1 trial showed HU advantage on arterial thrombosis and MF progression.
  • Do not prescribe in cutaneous ulceration history — risk of recurrence.
  • Do not combine with peg-IFN without a clear protocol.
Standard plan (IND-ET-1L-ASA)
  • Do not skip JAK2 / CALR / MPL testing — driver-mutation status determines subtype + IPSET-thrombosis risk.
  • Do not prescribe ASA in extreme thrombocytosis (plt >1500K) without ruling out acquired vWD — check ristocetin cofactor activity.
  • Do not skip prefibrotic-PMF differential on trephine — same presentation, worse prognosis.
  • Do not prescribe anagrelide 1L — PT-1 trial showed lower cardiovascular profile + HU more preferable.
  • Do not use full-dose ASA — low-dose is standard.
