Exploratory Multi-centre Trial In Patients With ET Treated With XAGRID®

An Exploratory, Observational, Multicentre Study to Investigate the Impact of the Presence of JAK2 (V617F) Mutation on Treatment Response in Patients With Essential Thrombocythaemia Treated With XAGRID® (Anagrelide Hydrochloride)

This study is hypothesis-generating to explore the impact of JAK2 (V617F) mutation status on the treatment response to anagrelide hydrochloride

3. ET patients who are uncontrolled, in the Investigator's opinion, by first-line (or previous) cytoreductive treatment for efficacy or tolerance reasons.
4. Patients who have either commenced treatment with anagrelide hydrochloride in the last 7 days or for whom a decision has been documented to commence treatment with anagrelide hydrochloride

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients for whom treatment with anagrelide hydrochloride is contraindicated, according to the current XAGRID SmPC.
2. Known or suspected intolerance or hypersensitivity to the product, closely related compounds, or any of the stated ingredients.
3. Patients participating in an interventional research study.
