Aaron T. Gerds, MD, MS, speaks with Healio about predictive biomarkers of week 24 transfusion independence among patients with myelofibrosis.
The study was presented at ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition and explored ferritin as a biomarker to predict which patients would and would not experience anemia benefit when treated with Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors.
Specifically, the researchers compared momelotinib with ruxolitinib (Opzelura, Incyte), according to Gerds, assistant professor of medicine at Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Institute and medical director of Case Comprehensive Cancer Center.
