Identifying PV Patients Who Will Benefit From Rusfertide Defining patient population characteristics using current market treatments and trends is the key to understanding rusfertide's market opportunity Phlebotomy Frequency Dosing of Hydroxyurea Thrombotic Events Key indicators of suboptimal control for a PV patient A high frequency of phlebotomies indicates the intervention is not working to maintain Hct < 45% Frequent phlebotomies may exacerbate iron deficiency and related symptoms 1 High doses of HU (1 - 2 g/day) can indicate difficult - to - control PV, especially when used in combination with phlebotomy Potential serious side effects and adverse events, including leukemic transformation and skin malignancies 2 Occurrence of thrombotic events following treatment initiation can be an indicator of the ineffectiveness of the treatment – a n example of a sub - optimally controlled PV patient 1.
