| NCT01632904 | Randomized Switch Study From Hydroxyurea to Ruxolitinib for RELIEF of Polycythemia Vera Symptoms: The Relief Study | PHASE3 | COMPLETED | 110 | — | — | Jun 1, 2012 | May 1, 2016 | Nov 14, 2017 | 70 | United States, Belgium +5 |
| NCT01243944 | Study of Efficacy and Safety in Polycythemia Vera Subjects Who Are Resistant to or Intolerant of Hydroxyurea: JAK Inhibitor INC424 (INCB018424) Tablets Versus Best Available Care: (The RESPONSE Trial) | PHASE3 | COMPLETED | 222 | — | — | Oct 27, 2010 | Feb 9, 2018 | Mar 6, 2019 | 102 | United States, Argentina +16 |
Symptoms of polycythemia vera were assessed using a modified Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Symptom Assessment Form (MPN-SAF) electronic diary. Using the diary, patients rated the following symptoms on a scale from 0 (absent) to 10 (worst imaginable): tiredness, itching, muscle aches, night sweats, and sweats while awake. The total symptom score ranged from 0-50 and was calculated as the sum of the 5 symptom scores. A higher score indicates worse symptoms.
Primary response was defined as having achieved hematocrit control (the absence of phlebotomy eligibility beginning at the Week 8 visit and continuing through Week 32) and Spleen Volume Reduction (a greater than or equal to 35% reduction from baseline in spleen volume at Week 32).

| Ruxolitinib | DRUG | Ruxolitinib will be orally self-administered at a starting dose of 10 mg (two 5 mg tablets) twice a day. Dose increases of 5 mg (1 tablet) in twice-daily increments are permitted after 4 weeks and again after 8 weeks of therapy for subjects who meet prespecified criteria for inadequate efficacy. |
| Hydroxyurea (HU) | DRUG | Hydroxyurea (500 mg capsules) will be orally self-administered at the dose that the subject was receiving previously. The dose may be increased after 4 weeks and again after 8 weeks of therapy to optimize efficacy for subjects meeting prespecified criteria. |
| HU-placebo | DRUG | All placebo will be self-administered, and dosing will be the same as with the blinded dose. When adjustments are made to the ruxolitinib dose, the dose of HU-placebo will be adjusted concurrently. |
