Clinical Trial Description

This is a prospective, open-label, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial between Interferon Alfa and Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2b in adult essential thrombocythemia (≥18 years). Patients will be randomly divided into the following two treatment groups: 1. Recombinant Interferon Alpha, with an initial dose of 300 wu three times a week. Other interferons that have been listed can be used if Recombinant Interferon Alpha (300 wu) is not available. 2. Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2b, with an initial dose of 135 ug at week 0 , and then 180 ug once a week from week 1 to week 52.
