  Description
PV: Ruxolitinib 10 mg BID Participants with Polycythemia Vera received 10 mg Ruxolitinib orally twice a day (BID) for 56 days (two 28-day cycles) during the dose-ranging phase. After patients completed 2 cycles of treatment at the randomized dose, Investigators were permitted to adjust the dose/regimen on an individual basis to achieve an optimal balance of efficacy and safety. Treatment continued until a patient met a withdrawal criterion, had intolerable toxicity, progression of disease, or withdrew consent.
PV: Ruxolitinib 25 mg BID Participants with Polycythemia Vera received 25 mg Ruxolitinib orally twice a day (BID) for 56 days (two 28-day cycles) during the dose-ranging phase. After patients completed 2 cycles of treatment at the randomized dose, Investigators were permitted to adjust the dose/regimen on an individual basis to achieve an optimal balance of efficacy and safety. Treatment continued until a patient met a withdrawal criterion, had intolerable toxicity, progression of disease, or withdrew consent.
PV: Ruxolitinib 50 mg QD Participants with Polycythemia Vera received 50 mg Ruxolitinib orally once a day (QD) for 56 days (two 28-day cycles) during the dose-ranging phase. After patients completed 2 cycles of treatment at the randomized dose, Investigators were permitted to adjust the dose/regimen on an individual basis to achieve an optimal balance of efficacy and safety. Treatment continued until a patient met a withdrawal criterion, had intolerable toxicity, progression of disease, or withdrew consent.
ET: Ruxolitinib 10 mg BID Participants with Essential Thrombocythemia received 10 mg Ruxolitinib orally twice a day (BID) for 56 days (two 28-day cycles) during the dose-ranging phase. After patients completed 2 cycles of treatment at the randomized dose, Investigators were permitted to adjust the dose/regimen on an individual basis to achieve an optimal balance of efficacy and safety. Treatment continued until a patient met a withdrawal criterion, had intolerable toxicity, progression of disease, or withdrew consent.
ET: Ruxolitinib 25 mg BID Participants with Essential Thrombocythemia received 25 mg Ruxolitinib orally twice a day (BID) for 56 days (two 28-day cycles) during the dose-ranging phase. After patients completed 2 cycles of treatment at the randomized dose, Investigators were permitted to adjust the dose/regimen on an individual basis to achieve an optimal balance of efficacy and safety. Treatment continued until a patient met a withdrawal criterion, had intolerable toxicity, progression of disease, or withdrew consent.
ET: Ruxolitinib 50 mg QD Participants with Essential Thrombocythemia received 50 mg Ruxolitinib orally once a day (QD) for 56 days (two 28-day cycles) during the dose-ranging phase. After patients completed 2 cycles of treatment at the randomized dose, Investigators were permitted to adjust the dose/regimen on an individual basis to achieve an optimal balance of efficacy and safety.
