hirta leaves in Sprague-Dawley rats who were orally treated with
Anagrelide (given for 15 days) for the induction of thrombocytopenia [22].
Anagrelide, on the other hand, is a phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE 3) inhibitor that is recommended as a 3rd-line treatment for ET after interferon-[alpha] (IFN-[alpha]) and busulfan [2].
(NASDAQ: INCY) has treated the first patient in the RESET pivotal trial evaluating ruxolitinib (Jakafi) compared to
anagrelide for the treatment of patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET) who are resistant to or intolerant of hydroxyurea (HU), the company said.
Hydroxyurea, interferon alfa, and peginterferon alfa, and possibly
anagrelide, have been shown to be effective for the prevention of venous thrombotic complications in patients with high-risk ET.
A 55-year-old Chinese Singaporean man with a background of Polycythemia Rubra Vera (PRV), currently on treatment with hydroxyurea and
anagrelide, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension, was admitted with a four-day history of nonbilious, nonbloody vomiting accompanied with nonbloody diarrhea.
