We treated 37 patients with polycythemia vera with imatinib mesylate (IM). The overall response rate was 49%. Thirty percent had a complete response, and 19%, a partial response. Thirty-one patients were treated for >120 days. Frequent side effects included nausea, diarrhea, edema, and skin rash.
Ruxolitinib was recently approved for the treatment of patients with polycythemia vera who are resistant/intolerant to hydroxyurea based on data from the RESPONSE studies. This phase 3b, Expanded Treatment Protocol study (NCT02292446) of ruxolitinib for hydroxyurea-resistant/intolerant patients with
Polycythemia vera (PV) is a chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by erythrocytosis and the presence of Janus kinase (JAK) 2V617F or similar mutations. This review summarizes the pathophysiology of PV, the challenges associated with traditional treatment options, and
Nonradiomimetic drugs, hydroxyurea (HU) and pipobroman (Pi), were administred to relatively young subjects with polycythemia vera (PV) in an attempt to decrease the leukemogenic risk observed in patients treated with 32P. Clinical safety, hematological efficacy, risk of carcinoma or leukemia, and
A 5-y-old female ferret (Mustela putorius furo) was evaluated for diarrhea, anorexia, and lethargy for 1 wk. Only mild dehydration was detected on physical examination. CBC analysis revealed marked erythrocytosis with an unremarkable plasma biochemistry panel; follow-up CBC analyses revealed a
Mutations in Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) are implicated in the pathogenesis of Philadelphia-chromosome negative myeloproliferative neoplasms, including primary myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera, and essential thrombocythemia. Gandotinib (LY2784544), a potent inhibitor of JAK2 activity, shows increased
Few treatment options exist for patients with myelofibrosis (MF), and their survival is significantly shortened. Activating mutation of the JAK2 tyrosine kinase (JAK2(V617F)) is found in approximately 50% of MF patients. CEP-701 is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that inhibits JAK2 in in vitro and in
OBJECTIVE
To compare by a prospective study in low risk polycythemia vera (PV) patients alone two drugs: hydroxyurea and pipobroman. Toxicity, efficiency, and leukemogenic potential were studied.
METHODS
294 patients with a documented PV, aged less than 65 years, have been included since 1980 in a
Ever since their description as "myeloproliferative syndromes" by William Dameshek in 1951, the myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) have been managed by the selective use of rather mundane, nonspecific therapies that rely on either antiplatelet effects or myelosuppression. The year 2005 ushered in a
Phase II study of YNK01 (1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine-5'-stearylphosphate), a derivative of cytosine arabinoside, on hematological malignancies was conducted by multi-institutional cooperative group. YNK01 was administered orally at dose of 100-300 mg/body/day for more than 2 weeks. The number
Interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) exhibits a clear platelet reductive effect in patients with essential thrombocythemia as well as in other chronic myeloproliferative disorders with thrombocytosis. In a total of 51 patients with chronic myeloproliferative disorders with thrombocytosis we analyzed the
The pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, clinical efficacy, adverse effects, and dosage and administration of anagrelide are reviewed. Anagrelide is a selective thrombocytopenic agent with FDA-approved labeling for the treatment of essential thrombocythemia. Clinical trials have shown that the drug may
Primary myelofibrosis is a member of the myeloproliferative neoplasms, a diverse group of bone marrow malignancies. Symptoms of myelofibrosis, particularly those associated with splenomegaly (abdominal distention and pain, early satiety, dyspnea, and diarrhea) and constitutional symptoms, represent
We report a case of a 33-year-old female patient with Budd-Chiari syndrome because of polycythemia vera. A transjugular intrahepatic portal-systemic shunt was performed because of refractory ascites 7 months after diagnosis. She had a stable hepatic function receiving anticoagulants until 3 years
OBJECTIVE
Myelofibrosis is a myeloid malignancy associated with anemia, splenomegaly, and constitutional symptoms. Patients frequently harbor JAK-STAT activating mutations that are sensitive to TG101348, a selective small-molecule Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) inhibitor.
METHODS
In a multicenter phase I
