Essential Thrombocythemia
Conditions
Brief summary
This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety according to incremental dosing for 8 weeks and duration of administration for 1 year in patients with high-risk essential thrombocythemia.
Interventions
from 0.5mg twice a day to maximally increase total10mg in 8 weeks and maintain maximal tolerable dose to 104 weeks
