Dr Sallman on the Rationale For Investigating Fedratinib in MDS/MPN Overlap Syndromes
January 4th 2024David A. Sallman, MD, discusses the rationale for conducting a phase 2, multi-institutional, investigator-initiated clinical trial on the use of fedratinib in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes/myeloproliferative neoplasm overlap syndromes and chronic neutrophilic leukemia.
TP-3654 Demonstrates Favorable Tolerability, Early Clinical Activity in R/R Myelofibrosis
The oral selective PIM1 kinase inhibitor TP-3654 appeared to be well tolerated and to show early signals of spleen volume reduction, symptom improvement, and correlating cytokine reductions in patients with relapsed or refractory myelofibrosis, according to preliminary data.
SRSF2 Mutations Lead to Lessened Frequency of Polycythemia in Preclinical MPN Models
The presence of mutated SRSF2 in knock-in mouse models of JAK2 V617F–driven myeloproliferative neoplasms reduced the rate of polycythemia and hampered hematopoietic progenitor functions.
Taking Trial Data to the Clinic in MPN and CLL From ASH 2023: Drs Rogers, Brown, and Shammo
December 13th 2023OncLive® will be LIVE with OncLive® News Network: On Location at the 2023 ASH Annual Meeting. Each day, we will broadcast a series of interviews with top thought leaders, to learn their thoughts and reactions to data presented across oncology during the conference.
Pelabresib/Ruxolitinib Combo Improves Splenomegaly, TSS in JAK Inhibitor–Naive Myelofibrosis
Pelabresib plus ruxolitinib demonstrated a 35% or greater reduction in spleen volume and trended toward reducing mean absolute total symptom score (TSS) as well as improving TSS reduction by 50% at 24 weeks in patients with JAK inhibitor–naive myelofibrosis.
Adding Navitoclax to Ruxolitinib Doubles Spleen Volume Reductions for Myelofibrosis
Up-front treatment with navitoclax plus ruxolitinib significantly reduced spleen volume by 35% or more at week 24 vs ruxolitinib plus placebo in patients with myelofibrosis; however, a significant difference was not observed in total symptom score v. 4.0 between the arms, according to data from the phase 3 TRANSFORM-1 study.
Orca-T Shows High Survival Rates in Intermediate-/High-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome
The high-precision cell therapy Orca-T demonstrated high rates of relapse-free survival, overall survival, and graft-vs-host disease RFS at 1 year, as well as a low incidence of GVHD in patients with intermediate- to high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome.
AI Algorithm Effectively Differentiates Between pre-PMF/ET
A machine learning, artificial intelligence algorithm analyzing diagnostic bone marrow biopsy digital whole-slide images was able to effectively differentiate with 92.3% accuracy between prefibrotic primary myelofibrosis and essential thrombocythemia.
Pelabresib Plus Ruxolitinib Improves Spleen Volume Reduction in JAK Inhibitor-Naive Myelofibrosis
Treatment with the combination of pelabresib and ruxolitinib led to a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in spleen volume reduction vs placebo plus ruxolitinib in patients with JAK inhibitor-naive myelofibrosis, meeting the primary end point of the phase 3 MANIFEST-2 trial.
Allogeneic HCT Provides OS Benefit Independent of TP53 Allelic Status in MDS
Patients with myelodysplastic syndrome harboring a TP53 mutation experienced a survival benefit with allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation compared with non-HCT treatment regardless of TP53 allelic status.
Gaby Hobbs, MD, discusses how research into the biology of myelofibrosis has propelled the development of novel therapies for this patient population and highlights the role that biomarkers play in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment response evaluation for these patients.
Momelotinib Approaches EU Approval for Myelofibrosis With Anemia
The European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use has adopted a positive opinion supporting the approval of momelotinib for the treatment of disease-related splenomegaly or symptoms in adult patients with moderate to severe anemia with primary myelofibrosis, post–polycythemia vera myelofibrosis, or post–essential thrombocytopenia myelofibrosis who have not been exposed to a JAK inhibitor or who had received prior ruxolitinib.
FDA Approval of Momelotinib May Establish New SOC for Myelofibrosis With Anemia
November 2nd 2023Andrew T. Kuykendall, MD, discusses the importance of the approval of momelotinib in the treatment of patients with anemic symptomatic myelofibrosis, key efficacy and safety data from the MOMENTUM trial that supported the decision, and unanswered questions regarding the agent’s potential role in other subsets within this population.
Dr Zhou on Ongoing Investigations into the Treatment of Patients With Myelofibrosis and Anemia
October 20th 2023Amy W. Zhou, MD, discusses ongoing and planned trials that may enhance therapeutic options for patients with myelofibrosis and anemia that are currently taking place at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
Newer-Generation JAK Inhibitors Expand Myelofibrosis Treatment Paradigm
October 19th 2023Anthony M. Hunter, MD, discusses the roles for pacritinib, momelotinib, and fedratinib in patients with myelofibrosis; treatment sequencing with newer-generation JAK inhibitors after ruxolitinib; and the importance of having several treatment options in the second-line setting and beyond.
Dr Zhou on the Use of Combination Therapies in Myelofibrosis
October 13th 2023Amy W. Zhou, MD, discusses combination therapies with ruxolitinib that may contribute to the treatment paradigm for patients with myelofibrosis, highlighting the importance of continued research with phase 3 confirmatory trials for patients with this disease.
