Panelists discuss how the MAJIC-PV trial provides critical evidence that ruxolitinib offers more than symptomatic relief in polycythemia vera, demonstrating approximately 40% reduction in thromboembolic events and improved event-free survival while correlating these clinical benefits with molecular responses through JAK2 V617F allele burden reduction, suggesting ruxolitinib may be truly disease-modifying rather than merely a bandage treatment when comprehensive control of all 3 blood cell lineages (red cells, white cells, and platelets) is achieved.

A panelist discusses how treatment sequencing for neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) is less important than ensuring patients receive all available treatments, highlighting cabozantinib as a reasonable second- or third-line option with manageable adverse effects like hypertension and liver function abnormalities.

Panelists discuss how ruxolitinib provides comprehensive benefits for polycythemia vera patients beyond count control, highlighting its remarkable ability to rapidly alleviate severe pruritus (often within 48 hours) and other constitutional symptoms that remain resistant to conventional therapies like hydroxyurea and interferon while also effectively managing cytokine-driven and spleen-related symptoms that significantly impact quality of life.

A panelist discusses how chronic graft-versus-host disease affects 30-70% of allogeneic transplant patients across eight cardinal organs (most commonly skin), presents with varying symptoms from rashes and joint stiffness to dry eyes and lung complications, and requires graded treatment approaches ranging from topical therapies for mild cases to systemic corticosteroids for moderate-to-severe disease, though 50% of patients ultimately need alternative treatments due to steroid dependency or resistance.

Panelists discuss how hepcidin mimetics like rusfertide offer a novel approach to managing polycythemia vera (PV) by regulating iron metabolism, reducing iron overload, and improving hematocrit control, particularly in patients with iron deficiency or refractory disease, while also potentially enhancing disease management and quality of life when used alone or in combination with standard therapies like hydroxyurea or ruxolitinib.

Panelists discuss how clinical trial data has shaped second-line therapy in polycythemia vera (PV), highlighting ruxolitinib and interferon as key options for patients resistant or intolerant to hydroxyurea due to their efficacy in symptom control, quality of life improvement, and disease-modifying benefits, especially for those with splenomegaly or inadequate response to first-line treatments.

A panelist discusses how the CABINET trial showed significant progression-free survival benefits for cabozantinib compared with placebo (particularly in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), why progression-free survival (PFS) is a meaningful end point for NETs, and that safety findings revealed familiar adverse effects requiring dose reductions in about two-thirds of patients.

Panelists discuss how the CYTO-PV study provides compelling evidence for maintaining strict hematocrit control below 45% in polycythemia vera patients, demonstrating that even a 3% difference in hematocrit levels can lead to a fourfold increase in cardiovascular events and thrombosis risk while also emphasizing the independent importance of controlling white blood cell counts below 11 × 109/L to further reduce thrombotic complications.
