*

P values to test the trend of continuous and ordinal variables were calculated with use of Jonckheere-Terpstra test and the trend of categorical variables were calculated using the Cochran-Armitage trend.

The P value represents the trend among patients only in PERSIST-2 as PERSIST-1 excluded prior JAK inhibitor therapy.

Unknown includes patients with missing bone marrow biopsy specimens or samples where cellularity could not be assessed.
