In this video, Idoroenyi Amanam, MD, discussed a study presented at ASCO Annual Meeting, examining the treatment of anemia in myelofibrosis patients.

Amanam, an assistant professor in the Division of Leukemia at City of Hope Cancer Center, highlighted a study that examined the effects of jaktinib (Suzhou Zelgen Biopharmaceuticals Co, Ltd) versus hydroxyurea in patients with intermediate to high-risk myelofibrosis, with a primary endpoint of spleen volume reduction.

“From a response and efficacy perspective, jaktinib appears to be promising,” Amanam said. “What they have right now is exciting, and it’s another option in a space where we don’t have too many options.”
