A panelist discusses how the CABINET trial showed significant progression-free survival benefits for cabozantinib compared with placebo (particularly in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), why progression-free survival (PFS) is a meaningful end point for NETs, and that safety findings revealed familiar adverse effects requiring dose reductions in about two-thirds of patients.

Panelists discuss how the CYTO-PV study provides compelling evidence for maintaining strict hematocrit control below 45% in polycythemia vera patients, demonstrating that even a 3% difference in hematocrit levels can lead to a fourfold increase in cardiovascular events and thrombosis risk while also emphasizing the independent importance of controlling white blood cell counts below 11 × 109/L to further reduce thrombotic complications.

A panelist discusses how the CABINET trial was a National Cancer Institute (NCI)–supported study conducted by the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology that enrolled patients with well-differentiated grade 1 through 3 pancreatic or extrapancreatic neuroendocrine tumors who had progressed after somatostatin analogue therapy and at least 1 other FDA-approved therapy.

Panelists discuss how multiple pivotal clinical trials inform polycythemia vera management strategies, highlighting key findings from CYTO-PV (strict hematocrit control <45% reduces thrombosis risk fourfold), RESPONSE (ruxolitinib’s superiority over best available therapy for controlling both hematocrit and splenomegaly), MAJIC-PV (demonstrating improved event-free survival with ruxolitinib), and PROUD-PV/CONTINUATION-PV (showing ropeginterferon’s durable molecular responses compared with hydroxyurea’s diminishing effect over time).

Panelists discuss how in polycythemia vera (PV), when standard cytoreductive therapies fail to control symptoms, targeted treatments such as ruxolitinib for pruritus and splenomegaly, iron supplementation for fatigue, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for pain, and psychosocial support play a crucial role in improving symptom management and enhancing patient quality of life.

Panelists discuss how in polycythemia vera (PV), effective management involves a dual focus on thrombosis prevention with aspirin, phlebotomy, and cytoreductive therapy, alongside strategies for managing symptoms like fatigue, pruritus, and splenomegaly, while regular assessments of quality of life and psychosocial support are essential for enhancing patient well-being.
