20151 WEBCAST: State-of-the-Art Solutions for Myelofibrosis: The Intersection of JAK Inhibitors, Allogeneic Transplant, and Other Strategies for Patient Care

In this activity, a panel of experts in the management of myelofibrosis (MF) offers learners an update on the modern diagnostic and risk assessment strategies that have informed a more considered treatment approach to symptomatic disease. An emerging paradigm, in which potentially curative hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is used in conjunction with Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor therapy, is discussed, along with an expert-led assessment of JAK inhibitor options in development for MF and how these additions to the treatment arsenal will be used alongside standard approaches. For professionals who are looking to pair recent evidence on JAK inhibitors with HCT and other options in the management of MF, this educational event is an essential disease management resource.

  • Discuss the current treatment role of JAK inhibitors and allogeneic transplantation in the management of myelofibrosis
  • Cite recent efficacy and safety evidence on established and emerging JAK inhibitors and other targeted agents in the management of myelofibrosis
  • Develop risk-adapted treatment plans for patients with symptomatic myelofibrosis, including those who did not respond to previous JAK inhibitor therapy or are eligible for allogeneic transplantation
