JAK2 INHIBITORS AND ALLOGRAFTING Andrea Bacigalupo , Genova, Italy. Significant reduction of spleen size with ruxolitinib. Significant survival advantage for ruxolitinib. Thus spleen size = progression Reduction of spleen size = control of progression

results of allogeneic hemopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT) are dependent on disease phase # DIPSS # Spleen size, transfusion requirement

Patients with a large spleen have advanced disease Survival after allogeneic transplant is worse in patients with a large spleen Survival after allogeneic transplant is also worse in patients with high CD34 counts High CD34 counts correlate with large spleen
JAK2 inhibitors can reduce spleen size JAK2 inhibitors are good candidates for treatment BEFORE an allogeneic transplant Also AFTER an allogeneic transplant

Conclusion SCT transplant outcome is dependent on disease phase Ruxolitinib may improve SCT outcome for patients with advanced disease
