Participant Flow

Patients were between 18-50 years (young) and 65 or older (elderly) with a diagnosis of essential thrombocythemia (ET) and receiving a stable dose of anagrelide \<=5mg/day for at least 4 weeks.

The study comprised four phases: Screening (patients take their normal regimen of anagrelide), a run-in period (patients divided their normal anagrelide daily dose equally into two daily doses), Pharmacokinetics (PK) sampling day (patients take normal morning dose), and follow-up (patients were contacted by phone 30 days after PK visit).
