Brief Summary:
The prospective multicenter observational cohort study will be offered consecutively to any patient with primary or secondary myelofibrosis or with Polycythemia Vera who has initiated therapy with ruxolitinib, prescribed as part of the normal course of care and completely independent of study participation. The main purpose is to assess adherence to ruxolitinib using the ARMS questionnaire. Each individual patient will be administered the questionnaire at the first convenient opportunity, regardless of when ruxolitinib is started, and again after 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 weeks, in conjunction with drug procurement.

Detailed Description:
The prospective multicenter observational cohort study will be offered consecutively to any patient with primary or secondary myelofibrosis or with Polycythemia Vera who has initiated therapy with ruxolitinib, prescribed as part of the normal course of care and completely independent of study participation. Laboratory tests and histologic, cytogenetic, molecular, and radiologic investigations performed by the patient and collected for study will be conducted in accordance with clinical practice, independent of the patient's participation in the study. In particular, data related to systemic symptoms and splenomegaly will be collected at diagnosis and disease reassessments performed in the context of normal clinical practice. These data will be collected at the first administration of the ARMS questionnaire and again after 12, 24, and 48 weeks. If performed, any additional assessments will also be recorded. Each individual patient will be administered the questionnaire (ARMS) at the first convenient opportunity, regardless of the time of initiation of ruxolitinib, and again after 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 weeks, in conjunction with drug procurement. If in-person data collection is not possible, the mode of data collection by telephone interview will be adopted. The minimum expected duration of individual patient observation is 48 weeks.

Study Type : Observational
Actual Enrollment : 189 participants
Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
Official Title: Ruxolitinib Adherence in Myelofibrosis and Polycythemia Vera
Actual Study Start Date : January 18, 2021
Actual Primary Completion Date : June 30, 2023
Actual Study Completion Date : June 30, 2023





Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Adherence [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Incidence of low adherence to ruxolitinib therapy, and the features associated with low adherence

  2. Distress [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Emotional distress is measured based on a visual analogue scale with the distress thermometer, a simple and quick (3-4 minutes) tool that investigates the areas most involved in distress (minimum value: 0, lower distress; maximum value: 10, higher distress)
