Research Platform Myelofibrosis and Anemia

RHODOLITE is a national, prospective, open-label, longitudinal, non-interventional multicenter cohort study (research platform) to describe treatment in routine clinical practice of myelofibrosis patients in routine care in Germany.

RHODOLITE will follow patients for up to three years with the aim to identify common therapeutic sequences and changes in the treatment of the disease. At inclusion, data in patient characteristics, comorbidities, tumor characteristics and previous treatments are collected. During the course of observation data on all systemic treatments and outcome are documented.

Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) will be evaluated for up to three years.

The RHODOLITE project is a joint project with the German Study Group for Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (GSG-MPN) and its GSG-MPN Bioregistry (NCT03125707). Details on treatment and outcome will be collected in RHODOLITE for up to three years, while long-term follow-up for a minimum of additional five years will be performed in the GSG-MPN Bioregistry.
