Among the etiologies of thrombosis, myeloproliferative neoplasia (MPN) is quite rare but should be investigated in case of thrombosis of atypical localization (digestive or cerebral) or in the context of recurrent idiopathic thrombosis in a young subject. Thrombosis could reveal an underlying MPN through the identification of a JAK2 V617F mutation. Rarely, MPN with thrombotic complications present with normal complete blood count(CBC). In case of a MPN with a thrombotic event but without CBC abnormality, anti-thrombotic treatment is recommended. But there is no recommendation for the indication of cytoreductive therapy and the clinician's decision is often empirical.
One of the major complications of for essential thrombocythemia (ET) or polycythemia vera (PV) is thrombosis and an age over 60 is a major risk factor. The treatment of thrombosis associated with TE or PV is based on recommendations the main therapeutic objective of which is to reduce the thrombotic risk. The combination of a cytoreducing agent and antithrombotic treatment is thus proposed in high-risk patients. The efficacy of this management is monitored by assessing CBC with the objective of normalization at <400 G/L of platelets for ET patients and <45% hematocrit in case of PV.
The absence of abnormal CBC makes it difficult to justify cytoreduction. The benefit of such a therapy in this context has not been clinically demonstrated. If a cytoreductive therapy is initiated, no biological parameters are available to assess the response to treatment.
The objective of this observational study is to evaluate the incidence of recurrence of thrombosis in patients whose thrombotic event revealed an underlying MPN with normal CBC. A comparison of groups treated or not with cytoreductive agents will be performed. Longitudinal monitoring of the patients will provide a better understanding of the nature and kinetics of hematological changes in these patients.

Estimated Study Completion Date : | May 21, 2023 |
- Cumulative incidence of recurrence of thromboembolic events after the initial thrombosis leading to the diagnosis of MPN [ Time Frame: 24 months follow-up ]The diagnosis of thromboembolic events must be confirmed by imaging
- Cumulative incidence of hematological progression to essential thrombocythemia, polycythemia vera, secondary myelofibrosis or acute transformation [ Time Frame: 24 months follow-up ]Hematological progression criteria will be based on the WHO classification
- Cumulative incidence of recurrence of thromboembolic events according to the type and duration of anticoagulant or anti-aggregant treatment [ Time Frame: 24 months follow-up ]The diagnosis of thromboembolic event must be confirmed by imaging
