Clinical Insights in Myelofibrosis: Addressing Unmet Needs & Advancing Outcomes

Panelists discuss how frequently patients with newly diagnosed myelofibrosis present with moderate or severe thrombocytopenia or both anemia and thrombocytopenia. They discuss how these factors and other disease characteristics like spleen size and constitutional symptoms influence their treatment approach and selection of JAK inhibitors.

Panelists discuss the latest data on pacritinib’s effects on anemia and bicytopenia, and share their treatment approaches for patients with myelofibrosis who present with both thrombocytopenia and anemia.

Panelists discuss how they define “ruxolitinib failure” and a suboptimal response, when they consider switching from first-line ruxolitinib, and how they differentiate between myelofibrosis-induced and JAK-induced cytopenias.
