    This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of myeloproliferative neoplasms.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Recall efficacy and safety findings from the JAKARTA and JAKARTA-2 studies evaluating fedratinib for patients with newly diagnosed intermediate-2 or high-risk myelofibrosis and those resistant or intolerant to ruxolitinib, respectively.
    • Appraise the current role of ruxolitinib in the treatment of myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia, and integrate this agent into clinical treatment algorithms.
    • Evaluate available clinical research data with novel JAK inhibitors (pacritinib, momelotinib) for patients with myelofibrosis, and consider the potential roles of these agents in clinical practice.
    • Assess the tolerability profiles of ruxolitinib and fedratinib, and formulate a side-effect management plan to support quality of life and treatment continuation.
