Conditioning With Alkylating Agents Prior to Transplant for Myelofibrosis
Patients with myelofibrosis conditioned with 2 alkylating agents may have better transplant outcomes compared with patients receiving 1 alkylating agent.

Fedratinib, a selective inhibitor of JAK2, was approved in 2019 by the US FDA for the treatment of certain groups of patients with myelofibrosis.
Researchers expanded on a previous study showing that the JAK2 46/1 haplotype was associated with decreased survival in primary myelofibrosis.
For some patients with primary myelofibrosis, the decision to undergo early transplant may depend on long-term survival predictions.
