VIDEO: Targeting anemia a ‘hot area of interest’ in myelofibrosis study
In this video, Aaron T. Gerds, MD, MS, discussed the backstory behind an abstract presented at ASCO Annual Meeting, examining a new compound directly targeting the ACVR1 gene in order to improve anemia in patients with myelofibrosis.
Gerds, assistant professor of medicine at Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Institute, discussed the study, as well as the potential use of the JAK inhibitor momelotinib (Sierra Oncology) that could have similar effects on anemia.
“It’s definitely a hot area of interest and research within the field,” Gerds said.
