Despite recent setbacks in clinical trials, there is still hope for improving treatments for high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes.

Experts review the case of a 68-year-old woman diagnosed with primary myelofibrosis.

The phase 3 Shorespan-007 trial will compare bomedemstat with hydroxyurea in patients with treatment-naive essential thrombocythemia.

Tebapivat, a novel pyruvate kinase activator, is being investigated for the treatment of anemia in patients with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes.

Imetelstat sustained red blood cell transfusion independence in patients with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome, with most responders experiencing durable responses.

During a Case-Based Roundtable® event, Gabriela S. Hobbs, MD, surveyed physicians on the disease features that are most challenging in primary myelofibrosis in the first article of a 2-part series.

During a Case-Based Roundtable® event, Jeanne M. Palmer, MD, moderated a discussion on challenging symptoms of myelofibrosis and when to initiate treatment with JAK inhibitors.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, John Mascarenhas, MD, discussed the lead up to the SENTRY trial and its potential impact on the treatment of myelofibrosis.

During a Case-Based Roundtable® event, James M. Rossetti, DO, discussed the role of risk scoring and stratification tools and treatment for a patient with declining hemoglobin and platelet counts due to primary myelofibrosis.

In an interview, Aniket Bankar, MD, discussed the background, design, and goals of the phase 3 VERIFY trial of the hepcidin mimetic rusfertide for the treatment of patients with polycythemia vera.

During a Case-Based Roundtable® event, Kristen Pettit, MD, discussed the use of pacritinib and momelotinib in cytopenic myelofibrosis in the second article of a 2-part series.

Disease duration, thrombotic event history, elevated WBC count, HCT levels, and VAF are key predictors of polycythemia vera progression.

New or worsening anemia did not appear to reduce the clinical benefit of ruxolitinib in myelofibrosis patients, and the median overall survival was similar between patients with and without new or worsening anemia.

MOST study shows high rates of disease progression in low/intermediate-risk myelofibrosis over 4 years, with the rate increasing over time. This offers valuable insight for a patient group with limited prior data.

During a Case-Based Roundtable® event, Nikolai Podoltsev, MD, PhD, discussed appropriate JAK inhibitor therapy options for a 62-year-old patient with myelofibrosis who had potentially declining hemoglobin and platelet counts.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Aleksander L. Chojecki, MD, discussed findings from his research on hematocrit control and thrombotic risk in patients with polycythemia vera treated with ruxolitinib.

Compared with ruxolitinib, momelotinib improved mild, moderate, and severe anemia in patients with myelofibrosis who were naive to JAK inhibitors, according to the phase 3 SIMPLIFY-1 study.
