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.
Seven patients with essential thrombocythemia and two patients with polycythemia vera were treated with ranimustine (MCNU). MCNU was given intravenously by drip infusion at a dose of 40-80 mg/m2 with intervals arranged in terns of the counts of both white blood cell and platelets. All cases with
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
Migraine-like cerebral transient ischemic attacks (MIAs) and ocular ischemic manifestations were the main presenting features in 10 JAK2(V617F)-positive patients studied, with essential thrombocythemia (ET) in 6 and polycythemia vera (PV) in 4. Symptoms varied and included cerebral ischemic attacks,
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
BACKGROUND
Hydroxyurea is an antimetabolite drug used in the treatment of myeloproliferative disorders. Common adverse effects include haematological, gastrointestinal cutaneous manifestations, and fever. Hydroxyurea-induced pneumonitis is unusual.
METHODS
A female patient was treated with
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
Of 501 patients with chronic myeloproliferative diseases (c-MPD) 18 developed thrombosis of major abdominal vessels including 6 with hepatic vein thrombosis (Budd-Chiari syndrome). The complication was seen in 14 of 140 (10%) patients with polycythemia vera (PV), 3 of 23 (13%) patients with
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
Hydroxyurea (HU) is a ribonucleotide reductase inhibitor used to treat myeloproliferative diseases including polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET). We describe an 82-year-old male who was started on HU 500 mg three times weekly for the treatment of PV. Eight days after initiation
A phase II study of the oral agent methyl 6-[3-(2-chloroethyl)-3-nitrosoureido]-6-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (MCNU tablet) for myeloproliferative disorders was performed. Fifty-two patients were treated with MCNU tablets and 43 patients were evaluated for clinical effects and 45 for adverse
Sixty-seven patients with hematological malignancies and 4 with cancers were evaluated in this study. Standard administration of MCNU was instituted intravenously using 50-100 mg/m2 every 2 or 4 weeks, whereas some cases were treated with a higher dose therapy. Of 10 patients with chronic
A phase II study of MCNU tablet has been performed on 70 patients with hematological disorders including mostly myeloproliferative disorders. MCNU tablet was given p.o. at a dose of 50 mg daily for 2-6 days (total 100-300mg) as one course with average intervals of 3 to 5 months or more for patients
Seventeen patients with myeloproliferative disorders and one patient with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMMoL) were treated with ranimustine++ (MCNU), and the efficacy was evaluated. MCNU was given intravenously by drip infusion at an usual dose of 100 approximately 150 mg with intervals arranged
A middle-aged woman presented with fatigue and mild increases in hematocrit and red cell mass. Polycythemia vera was diagnosed. She underwent therapeutic phlebotomy but clinically worsened. On reevaluation, other problems were noted including episodic malaise, nausea, rash and vasomotor issues. The
