Abstract

Myelofibrosis (MF) is a clonal haematological disease associated with recurrent somatic gene mutations (JAK2V617F, MPL, CALR) and constitutive activation of the Janus kinase (JAK)/Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription pathway. MF is often characterised by debilitating symptoms and JAK inhibitors (JAKIs) have revolutionised available therapeutic options. Ruxolitinib, a JAK1 and 2 inhibitor, is the only currently approved agent. Several other JAKIs are undergoing evaluation in the clinical trial setting and Pacritinib , a novel JAK2 and FLT3 inhibitor, is at an advanced stage of investigation with recent completion of a Phase III trial and another ongoing.
