Abstract
Myelofibrosis(MF) is a type of myeloproliferative neoplasms which is difficult to be treated. With the discovery of V617F mutation in Janus kinase(JAK)2, JAK inhibitor provides a new treatment strategy for patients with myelofibrosis.Ruxolitinib is the first JAK1/2 inhibitor which approved by the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) for the treatment of patients with international prognostic scoring system(IPSS)intermediate-2 or high risk myelofibrosis. In clinical experiments, ruxolitinib demonstrates significant improvements in splenomegaly and disease-related constitutional symptoms, and prolongs patients′ overall survival. However, the side effects of the drug (hematocytopenia, infections and secondary neoplasms) and treatment failure of some patients has been observed in treatments. The adverse reaction and solutions of ruxlitinib; the definition, reason, high risk factors and prognosis of treatment failure; the salvage therapy after treatment failure will be discussed in this review.
Key words:
Primary myelofibrosis; Janus kinases; Treatment failure; Salvage therapy; Adverse reaction; Ruxolitinib
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Transfusion and Hematology was founded in September 1978. It is a comprehensive academic journal in the field of transfusion and hematology, supervised by the National Health Commission and co-sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association, West China Second Hospital of Sichuan University, and the Institute of Transfusion Medicine of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. The journal is a comprehensive academic journal that combines the basic and clinical aspects of transfusion and hematology and is publicly distributed at home and abroad. The International Journal of Transfusion and Hematology mainly reports on the basic and clinical scientific research results and progress in the field of transfusion and hematology, new experiences, new methods, and new technologies in clinical diagnosis and treatment, introduces domestic and foreign research trends, conducts academic exchanges, and promotes the development of basic and clinical research in the field of transfusion and hematology.
