« Although the current goals of PV treatment are to alleviate symptoms and reduce thrombotic risk, there are growing efforts to identify disease-modifying agents which will also prevent progression of disease. Here, we give an overview of the developing prognostic tools and therapeutic landscape for PV, focusing on four drug classes: pegylated interferon-alpha 2, MDM2 antagonists, hepcidin mimetics, and histone deacetylase inhibitors. »

« The future of PV treatment likely will require combination treatments, which are being explored in preclinical studies. »
