Duration of DMR has most impact on the success of cessation of TKI treatment in CML-Results from the EURO-SKI trial (n = 448)
(Saussele et al. oral abstract 313)
• Objectives: to evaluate the importance of treatment duration vs. MR4 duration in the EURO-SKI patient cohort
• Methods: prognostic modeling based on TFR results at 6 mo
• Results: duration of TKI and MR4 correlated significantly with 6 mo MRecFs, with thresholds of 5.8 y and 3.1 y, respectively.
• Each addition year of MR4 duration (remaining MMR 3%) vs. TKI treatment duration (remaining MMR 0.86%)
Take home message
• TFR rate after stopping TKIs for 2-3 years is 50%.
• Lower dose of TKI after achieving at least MR4 before completed stop may be used as surrogate marker to predict better TFR rate.
• Duration of TKI (5.8 y) and MR4 (3.1 y) predict successfulness of TFR
Persistence with generic IM in CML: A matched cohort study
• Prospective registry based study
• Generic vs. branded IM
• N = 167 x 2 matched pair in 20 centers in Canada (Quebec CML registry) between 2013-16
• Persistence = time on therapy
• Inclusion: frontline IM since 2001
Results: probability of persistence at 42 m
Adjusted HR 2.13 (1.18-3.86) Adjusted HR 2.85 (0.88-9.23)
88.9 vs. 72.8% P = 0.03

Switch description
36 switches from GI • 12 (33%) suboptimal response
• 4 failure of EMR
• 2 failure of MR2
• 1 loss of MMR
• 3 others
• 25 (69%) toxicity • 10 G3 AEs
• 3 diarrhea
• 2 nausea
• 1 emesis
• 1 pain
• 1 fatigue
• 1 weakness
• 1 rash
17 switches from BI
• 9 (53%) suboptimal response – 6 failure of EMR
– 1 failure of MMR
– 2 loss of MMR
• 9 (53%) toxicity – 5 Gr 3 AEs
• 2 fatigue
• 2 rash
• 2 pain
Conclusions
• Patients remained on BI for a longer time than GI
• When patients switched from GI, intolerance was more common than ineffectiveness
• GI may be associated with higher preference to stop TKI in DMR
Content in ASH 2017
• MPN
– 3 education sessions
– Simultaneous sessions
• PegIFN in high risk PV trials (MPD-RC 111 and POUND)
• 4-y F/U of RESPONSE trial
• JUMP trial
BM biopsy for PV absolutely needed or not?
• BM biopsy at diagnosis is not strictly required if the patient’s Hb/Hct levels fulfill the thresholds of 2008 WHO (18.5 g/dL in man and 16.5 g/dL in woman)
• BM biopsy at diagnosis may identify fibrosis (15-20% of cases, grade 1) that points to higher rate of progression overt myelofibrosis and carries per se a worse prognosis. Therefore, BM biopsy is particularly recommended in younger subjects.

Recongizing ET from prefibrotic MF
ET
Prefibrotic MF
• ET and prefibrotic MF are distinct entities in the 2016 WHO classification • Clinical implication:
• Time to disease progression is shorter in pre-MF • OS is shorter in pre-MF than ET • Pre-MF is associated with almost double rate of hemorrhage compared to ET.

Conventional risk stratification system for PV and ET
Marchioli R, et al. J Clin Oncol 2005;23:224. Barbui T, et al. J Clin Oncol 2011;29:76
PV
• Smoking, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, obesity
ET
• Extreme thrombocytosis (> 1.5M x 109 /L) increases risk of hemorrhage
Risk stratification for PV and ET
• In PV and ET, the therapeutically-relevant end-point for prognostication is the risk of thrombosis.
• PV: use the conventional thrombosis risk score
• ET: prefer the IPSET-thrombosis score
Pegylated interferon in MPNs (1)
• MPD-RC 1121 RCTs: First-line pegIFN vs. HU for high-risk PV – A preliminary analysis of 75 pts treated for 1 y did not differ between the 2 arms.
Waiting for final results
• PROUD-PV2 RCTs: RopegIFN alfa 2 b (Q 2-4 weeks) vs. HU in high risk PV • Non-inferiority was demonstrated. Safety profile acceptable.
• Update 2 y: 88 vs. 73 pts completed 2 yrs. CHR 70% vs. 49% (p = 0.01) and MR vs 70% vs. 29%. (p = 0.004) and confirmed overall good tolerability
• MPD-RC 1113: Single arm salvage therapy in high-risk PV/ET with RR-HU – ORR 64% for PV and 71% for ET. It may be a reasonable second-line treatment.

RESPONSE 208 week follow-up –abstract #322
TH1712752757
Introduction
• RESPONSE (NCT01243944) is a global, multicenter, open-label, Phase 3 trial
comparing the efficacy and safety of ruxolitinib with best available therapy in
patients with polycythemia vera (PV) who are resistant to or intolerant of
hydroxyurea.1
• The primary endpoint of the RESPONSE study was achieved demonstrating
that ruxolitinib was superior to best available therapy in controlling hematocrit
and reducing spleen volume at week 32.1
• This preplanned analysis of the RESPONSE study was conducted to evaluate
the long-term safety and durability of efficacy of ruxolitinib after a follow-up of
208 weeks (after last patient has been followed for 208 weeks [4 years]).
– The study is currently ongoing.

• In the RESPONSE study, patients with PV who were resistant to or
intolerant of hydroxyurea had durable hematocrit control and
clinicohematologic response.
– In both the ruxolitinib arm and crossover population, 66% of patients
completed 5 years of study treatment (29%) or were still on treatment
(37%).
• With an additional 120 weeks (30 months) of follow-up, the overall
safety profile remains unchanged from the 80-week analysis.
• Taken together, these results support ruxolitinib as an effective long-
term treatment option for patients with PV who have had an
inadequate response to or are intolerant of hydroxyurea.

Introduction
• Ruxolitinib is a potent Janus kinase 1 (JAK1)/JAK2 inhibitor that has been proven to be superior to placebo1
and best available therapy (BAT)2 in the phase 3 COMFORT studies of patients with intermediate-2 (Int-2)– or
high-risk myelofibrosis (MF)
• Ruxolitinib-treated patients demonstrated rapid and durable improvements in splenomegaly and MF-related
symptoms,1,2 as well as improved overall survival3-5
• JUMP (JAK Inhibitor RUxolitinib in Myelofibrosis Patients) is a phase 3b expanded-access trial for patients in
countries without access to ruxolitinib outside of a clinical study and is evaluating the safety and efficacy of
ruxolitinib in patients with MF
— JUMP is the largest study to date in patients with MF who have received ruxolitinib treatment
• Here we report safety and efficacy findings from the primary analysis of JUMP, which included 2233 patients
treated at 279 clinical sites across 26 countries

• Most patients (57.5% [n = 1283]) completed treatment per protocol; 42.5% of patients (n = 950) discontinued
treatment early
• Primary reasons for discontinuation from treatment included adverse events (AEs; 18.1% [n = 405]), investigator-
determined disease progression (9.1% [n = 204]), death (4.5% [n = 101]), physician decision (4.2% [n = 93]),
withdrawal of consent (3.5% [n = 79]), protocol deviation (1.2% [n = 27]), administrative problems (1.1% [n = 25]),
and lost to follow-up (0.7% [n = 16])
— The most common hematologic AEs leading to discontinuation were thrombocytopenia (3.5% [n = 77]), anemia (2.0% [n =
44]), leukocytosis (0.8% [n = 18]), and neutropenia (0.2% [n = 4])
— The most common nonhematologic AEs leading to discontinuation were infections (2.6% [n = 59]); all other AEs that led to
discontinuation occurred in < 2% of patients
• The median exposure was 12.4 months (range, < 0.1-59.7 months)
— 1138 patients (51%) had > 1 year, 674 patients (30%) had > 2 years, and 289 patients (13%) had > 3 years of exposure
— The mean daily dose was 28.7 mg (Figure 2); median average total daily dose was 36.1 mg for patients starting at 20 mg bid
(62.0% [n = 1384]), 23.1 mg for patients starting at 15 mg bid (28.9% [n = 646]), and 12.7 mg for those starting at other doses
(9.1% [n = 203])
— The majority of patients (67.4% [n = 1504]) had dose modifications; 27.2% (n = 608) had dose interruptions

Conclusions
• JUMP includes the largest cohort of patients with MF treated with ruxolitinib to date
• Ruxolitinib was well tolerated and had an AE profile consistent with what had been previously reported
— The most common AEs were anemia and thrombocytopenia, but they rarely led to discontinuation
— Nonhematologic AEs, including infections, were mainly grade 1/2
• As observed previously, most patients experienced reductions in splenomegaly and symptoms with ruxolitinib treatment
• Overall, the safety and efficacy profile of ruxolitinib in JUMP is consistent with that in the phase 3 COMFORT studies

Current status of MPN
• More personalized treatment for MPN is needed. • RESPONSE (@4 years) and JUMP trial (primary analysis)
– A highly effective drug benefitting many patients – Thrombocytopenia and anemia may limit effective dosing – AEs: infections are more frequent and evidence of skin cancer
• Re-THINK trial, lack of current evidence of benefit from early disease with aim of disease moderation in early MF with HRM (ongoing trial)
• New JAK inhibitor phase III trials have demonstrated for efficacy, safety and a tolerability in MF.
