Some of the key facts of the Polycythemia Vera Market Report:
-
The total Polycythemia Vera market size across the 7MM is estimated at around USD 2,000 million in 2025 and is expected to grow steadily over the forecast period from 2026 to 2036.
-
In March 2026, A Phase 2 trial evaluating oral epetraborole in polycythemia vera (PV) is anticipated to commence in the third quarter of 2026, with initial data readouts expected as early as the fourth quarter of 2026 and continuing into 2027.
-
In January 2026, A New Drug Application (NDA) has been filed with the FDA requesting approval of rusfertide for the treatment of adults with polycythemia vera (PV). The submission is supported by results from the Phase III VERIFY trial (NCT05210790) and the Phase II REVIVE trial (NCT04057040). Findings from Part 1a of the VERIFY study indicated that rusfertide, a first-in-class hepcidin mimetic, achieved the primary endpoint along with all four key secondary endpoints, demonstrating sustained hematocrit control and significantly reducing the need for phlebotomy.
-
In November 2025, SOTIO Biotech, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company under the PPF Group, announced encouraging preclinical findings for its antibody-drug conjugate SOT106 for sarcoma treatment, presented at the Connective Tissue Oncology Society (CTOS) Annual Meeting in November.
-
In August 2025, The FDA has awarded Breakthrough Therapy Designation to rusfertide, a first-in-class hepcidin-mimetic peptide, for treating erythrocytosis in polycythemia vera (PV) patients with limited therapeutic options to reduce phlebotomy needs and improve blood count control. This designation was based on promising results from the Phase 3 VERIFY trial (NCT05210790), which compared rusfertide plus standard of care (SOC) against placebo plus SOC. In the 32-week analysis presented at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting, 76.9% of patients on rusfertide plus SOC (n=147) achieved a response between weeks 20 and 32, compared with 32.9% of those on placebo plus SOC (n=146; P < .0001).
-
In August 2025, Vanda Pharmaceuticals revealed that the FDA has awarded Orphan Drug Designation to VGT-1849B, a JAK2 inhibitor, for the treatment of polycythemia vera (PV).
-
In August 2025, Protagonist Therapeutics’ rusfertide has been granted FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation for the treatment of erythrocytosis in polycythemia vera, backed by encouraging Phase 3 VERIFY trial results presented at ASCO 2025.
-
In May 2025, The FDA granted Fast Track designation to givinostat (Duvyzat) for the treatment of polycythemia vera, according to a press release from its developer, Italfarmaco. Previously, givinostat received orphan drug designation for the same indication from both the FDA and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Additionally, the drug has been approved by the FDA and the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
-
In March 2025, Protagonist Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: PTGX) and Takeda (TSE: 4502/NYSE: TAK) have announced positive topline results from the Phase 3 VERIFY study. The trial involved phlebotomy-dependent polycythemia vera (PV) patients, who were randomly assigned to receive either rusfertide or a placebo alongside standard care. The study successfully achieved its primary endpoint along with all four key secondary endpoints. Rusfertide, an investigational first-in-class hepcidin mimetic peptide therapeutic, has been granted Orphan Drug and Fast Track designations by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
-
In 2025, the United States accounted for the largest share of the Polycythemia Vera market among the 7MM, with an estimated value of around USD 1,500 million, and this figure is expected to grow further by 2036, driven by the introduction of emerging therapies and a rising diagnosed patient population.
-
Within the EU4 and the UK, Germany held the highest market share in 2025, while the United Kingdom represented the smallest market.
-
In 2025, among the available treatments for Polycythemia Vera, JAKAFI generated the highest revenue in the United States, at approximately USD 1,000 million.
-
Looking ahead to 2036, among the emerging therapies in the EU4 and the UK, Rusfertide is projected to achieve the highest revenue.
-
The primary approach to managing Polycythemia Vera continues to be phlebotomy to control hematocrit levels, typically used alongside low-dose aspirin. For high-risk patients, cytoreductive treatments such as hydroxycarbamide (hydroxyurea) may also be administered.
-
Jakafi and BESREMi are approved across the US, Europe, and Japan, with Jakafi serving as a standard second-line therapy since 2015. Additionally, PEGASYS received marketing authorization in 2024 and formal approval in the UK in 2025, following its earlier off-label use.
-
In 2025, the United States accounted for the largest share of the prevalent Polycythemia Vera population, representing approximately 55% of cases across the 7MM. In comparison, the EU4 and the UK contributed around 30%, while Japan accounted for about 15% of the total share.
-
The number of prevalent cases in the United States was estimated at approximately 158,700 in 2025. Among the EU4 and the UK, Germany reported the highest number of cases based on symptoms, whereas the United Kingdom had the lowest in 2025.
-
According to DelveInsight estimates, the United States reported approximately 63,000 asymptomatic and 95,000 symptomatic cases of Polycythemia Vera in 2025, with overall prevalence expected to rise during the forecast period.
-
Across the 7MM, around 60% of Polycythemia Vera cases are observed in males, while females account for approximately 40% of the patient population.
-
In Japan, age-specific data indicate that the highest number of cases occurs in the 65–74 age group, with about 6,000 cases in 2025, whereas the lowest incidence is seen among individuals aged 0–34 years, with roughly 800 cases.
-
Other investigational therapies for Polycythemia Vera include bomedemstat (an LSD1 inhibitor by Merck), sapablursen (a TMPRSS6 inhibitor developed by Ionis Pharmaceuticals in collaboration with Ono Pharmaceutical), divesiran (a TMPRSS6 inhibitor from Silence Therapeutics), PPMX-T003 (an anti-TfR1 therapy by Perseus Proteomics), and DISC-3405 (an anti-TMPRSS6 agent from Disc Medicine), among others—underscoring a rapidly expanding and innovative treatment pipeline.

Polycythemia Vera Overview
Polycythemia vera (PV) is a rare and chronic blood disorder characterized by the overproduction of red blood cells in the bone marrow. This excess production of red blood cells leads to an increase in blood volume and thickness, which can cause complications such as blood clots, stroke, or heart attack. PV is a type of myeloproliferative neoplasm, a group of disorders in which the bone marrow produces too many blood cells.
