Q

Treatments for Anemia in myelofibrosis

A
  • ESAs (if EPO<500)
  • Androgens (ex. danazol)
  • Corticosteroids (if there is a hemolytic component)
  • Immunomodulatory Drugs (thalidomide, lenalidomide)
  • Transfusions
  • Ruxolitinib (helpful for splenomegaly, symptoms and potentially survival but will likely worsen anemia so likely not in a patient with Hb ~70)

Q

Compare CAL-R in ET/PMF to JAK2-V617F

A

CAL-R- tends to be younger, higher platelet count, less thrombosis. Better survival and less anemia in PMF.

Triple negative has worst prognosis.

Q

Benefits of Jakavi as seen in COMFORT-1, COMFORT-2.

A

Primary end point: Reduction in spleen size by >/= 35% by 24 weeks (COMFORT-1) or 48 weeks (COMFORT-2).

Decreased splenomegaly
Decreased MF associated symptoms
Improved quality of life
May increase OS (seen in COMFORT1 (vs. placebo) at 3 and 5 year follow up analyses, but not in COMFORT2 (vs. best available therapy).

Q

What is Mepolizumab and what diseases is it used in?

A

Monoclonal Ab directed against IL-5, a growth factor important for eosinophil maturation and activation.

  • beneficial in glucocorticoid-sensitive HES, including idiopathic HES, lymphocytic variants of HES (L-HES), and HES/eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) overlap
17
Q

PDGFRA-alpha blocker that is used in systemic mastocytosis and GIST tumors?

A

Avapritinib

18
Q

5 high molecular risk genes in the MIPSS score of PMF?

A
  1. IDH1
  2. IDH2
  3. EZH2
  4. ASXL1
  5. SRSF2

AEIIS
Lots of vowels for PMF

19
Q

Treatment options for symptomatic, non-transplant eligible PMF include Ruxolitinib, HU or ______. The latter of which can cause what severe and potentially fatal complication?

A

Fedratinib

  • effective for reducing splenomegaly and other PMF-related symptoms,
  • associated with Wernicke-like encephalopathy
  • serum thiamine level should be repleted before beginning fedratinib, and levels should be checked periodically during treatment.

Fedratinib should not be given to patients with severe liver impairment, taking strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers or dual CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 inhibitors.

20
Q

WHO criteria of PV.

A

Need 3 major or 2M and 1m:

Major:

  1. Hg >165 (male) or >160 (female), or Hct >0.49 (male) or >0.48 female, or inc RBC mass (>25% above ULN)
  2. Jak2 V617F or Exon 12
  3. BMBx w/ hypercellularity for age, w/ trlineage growth (panmyelosis) inc prominent erythroid, granulocytic and megakaryotic proliferation w/ pleomorphic, mature megakaryocytes.

Minor:
1. Abnormal serum epo

21
Q

WHO criteria of ET.

A

Need 4M or first 3 major and 1m

Major:

1) plt count >/=450
2) Bone marrow biopsy showing proliferation mainly of the megakaryocyte lineage with increased numbers of enlarged, mature megakaryocytes with hyperlobulated nuclei. No significant increase or left shift in neutrophil granulopoiesis or erythropoiesis and very rarely minor (grade 1) increase in reticulin fibers.
3) Not meeting WHO criteria for BCR-ABL1+ CML, PV, PMF, myelodysplastic syndromes, or other myeloid neoplasms
4) Presence of JAK2, CALR, or MPL mutation

Minor
1.Presence of a clonal marker or absence of evidence for reactive thrombocytosis

22
Q

WHO criteria of PMF

A

Need 3 major criteria, and at least 1 minor criterion

Major

  1. Presence of megakaryocytic proliferation and atypia, accompanied by either reticulin and/or collagen fibrosis grades 2 or 3
  2. Not meeting WHO criteria for ET, PV, BCR-ABL1+ CML, myelodysplastic syndromes, or other myeloid neoplasms
  3. Presence of JAK2, CALR, or MPL mutation or, in the absence of these mutations, presence of another clonal marker,* or absence of reactive myelofibrosis

Minor
Presence of at least 1 of the following, confirmed in 2 consecutive determinations:
1. Anemia not attributed to a comorbid condition
2. Leukocytosis ≥11 × 109/L
3. Palpable splenomegaly
4. LDH increased to above upper normal limit of institutional reference range
5. Leukoerythroblastosis

23
Q

What is atypical CML?

A
  • MDS/MPN overlap syndrome, characterized by absence of t(9;22).
  • Presents in elderly with elevated neutrophil count but low plt and/or Hg
  • BMbx- increased cellularity with no increased blasts. Also see dysplasia in , megakaryocytes and erythroids.
  • Prognosis is poor.

Common mutations:
SETBP1, CSF3R, trisomy 8, ischromosome 17q.

24
Q

WHO Criteria of CNL?

A
  • WBCs ≥25 x 109/L with >80% segs/bands and <10% immature precursor cells
    *** if CSF3R, only need WBC>15
  • Hypercellular marrow with <5% nucleated cells being myeloblasts
  • Normal neutrophil maturation with granulocytic dysplasia
  • No reactive causes of neutrophilia
  • No other chronic myeloid neoplasm
