Ropeginterferon alfa-2b versus standard therapy for polycythaemia vera (PROUD-PV and CONTINUATION-PV): a randomised, non-inferiority, phase 3 trial and its extension study

TLDR
The most frequently reported grade 3 and grade 4 treatment-related adverse events were increased γ-glutamyltransferase (seven [6%] of 127 patients) and increased alanine aminotransferase (four [3].

Polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia: 2021 update on diagnosis, risk-stratification and management.

TL;DR: Polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET) are myeloproliferative neoplasms respectively characterized by clonal erythrocytosis and throm bocytosis; other disease features include leukocytotic features, splenomegaly, thromBosis, bleeding, microcirculatory symptoms, pruritus and risk of leukemic or fibrotic transformation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interferon-alpha for treating polycythemia vera yields improved myelofibrosis-free and overall survival.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the myelofibrosis-free survival (MFS) and overall survival (OS) with rIFNα to two other primary treatments, hydroxyurea (HU) and phlebotomy-only (PHL-O).

Phylogenetic reconstruction of myeloproliferative neoplasm reveals very early origins and lifelong evolution

TL;DR: How driver mutation acquisition very early in life with life-long growth and evolution drive adult blood cancer is revealed, providing opportunities for early detection and intervention, and a new paradigm for cancer development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular pathogenesis of the myeloproliferative neoplasms.

TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of the molecular pathophysiology of MPN exploring the role of driver mutations, co-occurring mutations, dysregulation of intrinsic cell signalling, epigenetic regulation and genetic predisposing factors highlighting important areas for future consideration as discussed by the authors.

A Gain-of-Function Mutation of JAK2 in Myeloproliferative Disorders

TL;DR: Genetic evidence and in vitro functional studies indicate that V617F gives hematopoietic precursors proliferative and survival advantages and a high proportion of patients with myeloproliferative disorders carry a dominant gain-of-function mutation of JAK2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pegylated interferon-alfa-2a induces complete hematologic and molecular responses with low toxicity in polycythemia vera

TL;DR: Results show that pegylated IFN-alpha-2a yields high rates of hematologic and molecular response in PV with limited toxicity, and could even eliminate the JAK2 mutated clone in selected cases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic basis and molecular pathophysiology of classical myeloproliferative neoplasms

TL;DR: The genetic landscape of classical myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) is in large part elucidated and factors other than somatic mutations play an important role in disease initiation as well as disease progression such as germ line predisposition, inflammation, and aging.
