CTCAE, Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events.
Inadequate or recurrent symptom response criteria not defined in previous clinical trials, although symptom response has been defined as ≥50% reduction in the pretreatment Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Symptom Assessment Form Total Symptom Score.21
