Our team understands the criticality of payer research and insights generation, as well as their importance during drug development, pre-market launch strategy, and post-marketing activities.

Polycythemia Vera (PV) Overview

Polycythemia vera (PV) is a myeloproliferative disorder that produces excessive red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, leading to elevated blood viscosity and various associated symptoms. The primary cause is the uncontrolled proliferation of red blood cells, often extending to white blood cells and platelets. While the exact origin of this abnormal stem cell expansion is debated, a somatic mutation known as JAK2-V617F in the JAK2 gene (9p24) is prevalent among most patients. However, less frequently, a somatic mutation in exon 12 of JAK2 can also be found. Symptoms of PV typically manifest insidiously and include headaches, dizziness, vertigo, tinnitus, visual disturbances, and itching after bathing. Patients may also exhibit a flushed appearance in their face, palms, nailbeds, mucosa, and conjunctiva.
