Hussein Tawbi, MD, PhD, explains that if a patient with metastatic melanoma and a BRAF mutation progresses after initial checkpoint inhibitors, either combination immunotherapy or MEK inhibitor therapy is considered, based on disease progression pace and pattern.

The SIMPLIFY-1 trial investigated the use of momelotinib in JAK inhibitor-naive patients with myelofibrosis, primarily symptomatic with spleen enlargement, hepatomegaly, or anemia; results showed momelotinib led to improved transfusion independence, reduced transfusion burden, and decreased anemia compared to ruxolitinib.

Anthony Hunter, MD, explains that anemia is a common complication in patients with myelofibrosis, often worsening over time; treatment strategies involve monitoring, transfusion support, and considering additional anemia-directed agents.
