Prognostic Insights in Myelofibrosis & Dynamic Thrombocytopenia

In a comprehensive investigation aimed at understanding the prognostic implications of dynamic thrombocytopenia in patients with myelofibrosis (MF), researchers from the Seoul St. Mary's Hematology Hospital have uncovered crucial genetic and immunologic factors associated with this phenomenon. The study findings were presented at the 65th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition (Abstract 1835).

Pan-LOX Inhibitor PXS-5505 Shows Promise for Myelofibrosis Patients

New findings showed that PXS-5505, a pan-LOX inhibitor, is well-tolerated among patients with primary, post-polycythemia vera or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis with no dose-limited toxicity or serious treatment-related adverse events. This data was recently presented during the 65th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, held December 9-12 in San Diego (Abstract 625).

Phase III SIMPLIFY-1 Trial Highlights Research on Transfusion Intensity Data

Myelofibrosis is a somewhat rare hematologic malignancy that can lead to scarring of the patient’s bone marrow. It impacts patients with low blood counts, enlarged spleen, and symptoms. This scarring can hinder hematopoiesis, resulting in anemia. Prior to 2011, there were no approved therapies for this condition.
