This is nothing new but I've had trouble remembering the title. This is a large (n= 586) phase 3 trial of Rux vs BAT where BAT is HU and IFN. I think some members are in it.
This should provide the best comparison of the three therapies to date. They allow non-peg IFN, but I don't expect this is in use anywhere now. It's open label, reasonable since the drugs are observably very different.

It has a specific exclusion of these pts, which is likely what you refer:
"OR resistance/intolerance to that (cytoreductive) therapy" This would include those resistant to any of the three. This should give a better result for all three arms, but maybe to different extents. I think this wide exclusion is unique.
In the IFN, they include Intron® A, Roferon® A. These are obsolete and not available, it's strange these are in there.
My doctor Professional Chang, based in Shanghai, China. He has taken Rux+IFN this therapeutic regimen for more than 12 years already! now he also has a lot of different medication combination for different MPN patient.👍
