Ruxolitinib in PV has been evaluated in 3 phase 3 studies, RESPONSE, RESPONSE2, and RELIEF, showing that in the second line after HC failure/intolerance, ruxolitinib effectively controls blood count, spleen size, and symptoms, and interestingly, there may be molecular responses in some patients. In RESPONSE, there was a reduction in thrombotic events (6 vs 1), although not a preplanned endpoint, which thus cannot be overinterpreted; transformation to PPV-MF and AML occurred on both arms of the study. Selection of patients resistant to HC is important because those patients with cytopenias in particular have an increased risk for death (hazard ratio, 3.5; 95% confidence interval, 1.5-8.3; P = .003). Cytopenia at the lowest dose required to achieve a response was also an independent risk factor for transformation to acute leukemia (hazard ratio, 20.3; 95% confidence interval, 5.4-76.5; P < .001). Problems with these studies is the selection of the endpoints: control of hematocrit, reduction of spleen size, and as a result of restricted alternative therapies, the comparison of ruxolitinib against drugs the patient already failed. Nonetheless, ruxolitinib presents a valuable treatment of PV resistant and/or intolerant of HC and could be tested earlier in disease to assess the effect on major manifestations and disease course. No new safety signals emerged here, but an excess of herpes zoster reactivation and nonmelanoma skin cancers were observed.

Dose regimen could be adjusted based on safety and efficacy so that each patient was titrated to their most appropriate dose; doses were not to exceed 25 mg bid

Crossover Criteria At any time, patients who met protocol-specified criteria (underwent splenectomy or had an increase in spleen volume of

>25% from the nadir during the study period, which could include the baseline volume) discontinued the randomized treatment phase of the study and could enter an extension phase. In the extension phase, patients who had been randomly assigned to the best available therapy could receive ruxolitinib if they met protocol-specified safety criteria, and patients who had been randomly assigned to ruxolitinib could continue to receive ruxolitinib if they were still deriving a clinical benefit. Patients who had leukemic transformation or underwent splenic irradiation were withdrawn from the study.

Ruxolitinib: Approved Indications of Use

FDA (Jakafi): Treatment of patients with intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis (November 16, 2011)

EMA (Jakavi): Treatment of disease- related splenomegaly or symptoms in adult patients with myelofibrosis (August 28, 2012)

A PHARMACOBIOLOGICAL APPROACH FOR THE CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT OF RUXOLUTINIB, IN MPN

Ruxolutinib is a JAK-STAT signaling patway inhibitor drug The function of JAK-STAT signaling patway is cellular proliferation in health and disease Ruxolutinib is an anti-proliferative drug in health and disease Ruxolutinib has the potential to inhibit neoplastic cellular proliferation of MPN Ruxolutinib can cause cytopenias due to its anti-proliferative effects at any lineage (good in disease; bad in health)

CURRENT CLINICAL CHALLENGES FOR RUXOLUTINIB IN MPN

(VERY) LOW-RISK MPN (VERY) HIGH-RISK MPN Survival is long and may even not different from the healthy population in some in low-risk MPNs like ET and PV.

Profound deep (pan)cytopenias already in the high-risk MPN could become worse after the addition of Ruxolutinib-induced cytopenias.

Competitors of Ruxolutinib is observation only, low-dose aspirin, phlebotomy, hydroxyurea, anagrelide. All of them are cheaper and safer in most cases.

Inability of Ruxolutinib administration in optimal dosage and duration due to cytopenias of high-risk MPN. Interruption and discontinuation of the drug. (Ruxolutinib cessation syndrome)

There is no data that long-term Ruxolutinib may affect disease course via the prevention of BM fibrosis in low-risk MPN.

Ruxolutinib may not improve already very shortened survival, morbidity, and comorbidities due to advanced/terminal MPN.

Ruxolutinib may not improve irreversible severe organ damage due to advanced/terminal MPN (hepatic failure, portal hypertension bone marrow failure, huge spleen, etc.)

What is the ideal subpopulation of MPN for the long-term Ruxolutinib administration at the proper therapeutic dosage and duration to let the drug modifying the MPN disease course and/or bone marrow architecture?
