Jakafi (ruxolitinib)

Importantly, co-administration of ruxolitinib, a clinically approved JAK1/2 inhibitor, dampened IFN-β signaling and rescued mice from lethal toxicity. Collectively, these findings define the pathophysiological consequences of sustained systemic IFN-β exposure and identify ruxolitinib as a potential mitigation strategy to manage IFN-β-mediated toxicity during OV treatment.

While currently, hypomethylating agent therapy (azacitidine and decitabine) is mainly used in high-risk MDS patients, and ruxolitinib is primarily used in symptomatic primary myelofibrosis (PMF-MPN), their clinical efficacy remains suboptimal. In response, a new generation of immune checkpoint inhibitors are being developed to target the TME, including PD-1/CTLA-4 blockers, macrophage-directed agents including CD47 inhibitors, and T cell-targeting checkpoint inhibitors such as TIM-1 and LAG-3. This review will describe the functional role of key TME constituents in the progression of myeloid malignancies and explore the current landscape and future potential of advanced cellular and molecular immunotherapies in the treatment of these disorders.

This study provides one of the first extensive characterizations of PV in southern Colombia, confirming internationally recognized clinical features, including advanced age at diagnosis, increased prevalence of cardiovascular comorbidities, and a predominance of high-risk classification. The low rate of finding JAK2 mutations suggests that molecular testing may not be as easy to get as it could be. Even if the treatment followed the guidelines, the risk of recurrence and thrombosis remained, showing that PV is a long-term and worsening condition. These findings highlight the urgent need to expand access to molecular diagnostics, develop tailored risk-adapted medicines, and initiate prospective multicenter studies in Latin America to optimize outcomes and quality of life in PV.

A 77-year-old woman with stage IV serous endometrial carcinoma presented 24 days after a single dose of carboplatin, paclitaxel, and pembrolizumab, with progressive weakness, ptosis, diplopia, and respiratory compromise...She was treated with pulse corticosteroids and plasma exchange (PLEX), with rituximab added after the second session for an inadequate response. Persistent myocarditis with sustained troponin elevation prompted further escalation to abatacept and ruxolitinib...The case is distinguished by refractory disease requiring four sequential lines of immunosuppression, concurrent immune-mediated hepatitis and thyroiditis, and a seronegative myasthenia gravis profile, consistent with the more heterogeneous, non-antibody-mediated mechanisms increasingly recognized in ICI-induced disease. It informs treatment escalation in refractory cases and underscores three principles essential to managing this high-mortality syndrome: early recognition, systematic screening for all syndromic components once any one is identified, and timely escalation through multiple lines of immunosuppression when disease proves refractory.

After ruxolitinib therapy, he later developed leukocytosis and 2% circulating blasts. Repeat marrow demonstrated ≥ 15% ring sideroblasts. Retrospectively, the initial biopsy fulfills ICC 2022 criteria for MDS/MPN-SF3B1-T, highlighting the diagnostic value of genetics-integrated classification in fibrotic marrows.

Overall, our findings suggest that TMZ may induce oncogenic miRNA expression as part of an adaptive response, while ruxolitinib may counteract this effect. Targeting miRNA-mediated regulatory networks in combination with pathway inhibition may represent a promising strategy to overcome therapeutic resistance in glioblastoma.

This study established the SERPINE2-JAK2/STAT3-NRF2-GCLC signaling axis as a key mechanism driving ferroptosis resistance and lenvatinib treatment failure. Targeting this axis provides a novel therapeutic strategy for overcoming lenvatinib resistance in HCC.
