Combination Strategies With Ruxolitinib Explored in Myelofibrosis Treatment
September 15th 2017The treatment of myelofibrosis has changed significantly in the past few years, largely due to the approval of ruxolitinib (Jakafi). Although it provides durable improvements, the JAK inhibitor may be even more effective in combination—as inhibition of JAK-STAT signaling has not shown to be curative.
