Amy W. Zhou, MD, assistant professor, Department of Medicine, Division of Hematology, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, discusses the investigation of ruxolitinib (Jakafi) given in conjunction with novel or emerging agents such as pacritinib (Vonjo) and momelotinib (Ojjaara), highlighting these agents’ potential at contributing to the treatment paradigm in myelofibrosis. Combination therapies involving […]
