OVERALL SURVIVAL IN THE ITT POPULATION
Indicaciones de Ruxolitinib en MF • EMA therapeutic indication: Jakavi is indicated for the treatment of disease-
related splenomegaly o symptoms in adult patients with primary myelofibrosis (also known as chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis), post polycythaemia vera myelofibrosis or post essential thrombocythaemia myelofibrosis.
• British guidelines: Symptomatic splenomegaly (1ª) Myelofibrosis-related symptoms that are impinging upon QoL (1B) Hepatomegaly and portal Hypertension due to myelofibrosis are reduced by ruxolitinib and it can be considered for these indicacionts (2B) Whilst treatment with ruxolitinib is suggested to confer a survival advantage treatment with this agent in asymptomatic patients and/or those who lack bothersome splenomegaly is not currently recommended.
• FDA therapeutic indication: Jakafi is a kinase inhibitor indicated for treatment of patients with intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis, including primary myelofibrosis, post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis and post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis

Impacto de Ruxolitinib en anemia y trombopenia
• OS in the ruxolitinib group was not significantly affected by patients’ transfusion independence vs nonindependence (P=0.132), whereas it was in the control group (P=0.0004)
• Median OS was significantly longer in the ruxolitinib group compared with the control group, even for patients who were transfusion-nonindependent at Week 24 (P=0.002)

¿Hasta cuándo mantener el tratamiento? Ficha técnica y Guías internacionales
Manera de suspender el tratamiento
Los síntomas y la esplenomegalia regresarán tras la retirada del fármaco, a veces rápidamente. Se recomienda una reducción gradual de la dosis en 7-10 días y el evitar interrupciones bruscas. La combinación con esteroides a dosis bajas (se sugiere prednisona 20-30 mg) se ha utilizado en este contexto clínico (evidencia grado 1A).

Reflexiones sobre el manejo de segunda línea • La gran mayoría de pacientes responden a ruxolitinib, sin embargo una
amplia mayoría perderán la respuesta tras 2-3 años de tratamiento
• Significa la evolución de la esplenomegalia que el paciente no se beneficia del tratamiento?
• Es fundamental diferenciar entre la intolerancia (efectos secundarios atribuidos al tratamiento) o falta de eficacia
• La decisión de suspensión de tratamiento estará influenciada por la posibilidad de tratamientos alternativos
• Aún en pacientes con pérdida de respuesta, existe un beneficio claro de tratamiento con ruxolitinib
Opciones actuales en el manejo de pacientes resistentes a ruxolitinib • Trasplante: Pocos pacientes candidatos, alta mortalidad
• Otros inhibidores de JAK (presumiblemente mayor eficacia inhJAK2)
• Combinaciones: inhJAK ->imids/TKIs/hipometilantes/IFN,,,,,

Posicionamiento de “nuevos” inhibidores de JAK en pts resistentes a ruxolitinib
• Pacientes con dosis inadecuadas de ruxolitinib por: • Anemia: EPO-Momelotinib?, Pacritinib?Luspatercept?
• Trombopenia: Pacritinib?
• Pacientes resistentes/pérdida de respuesta: • Fedratinib
• Combinaciones: Agentes hipometilantes?
Conclusiones
• La anemia y trombopenia son complicaciones frecuentes en la mielofibrosis
• El “algoritmo terapéutico” de la anemia obtiene respuestas “modestas”
• La anemia en pacientes con indicación no debe limitar la indicación ni el manejo de ruxolitinib
• La pérdida de respuesta a ruxolitinib no debe implicar la suspensión si no tenemos alternativas terapéuticas
• Combinaciones de ruxolitinib con “otros agentes” no han demostrado beneficio
• Nuevos inhibidores JAK presumiblemente tendrán un hueco en función de la respuesta previa a ruxolitinib
