Sustained Erythroid Response in a Patient with Myelofibrosis Receiving Concomitant Treatment with Ruxolitinib and Deferasirox.
Chemotherapy 2018 April 26
Iron overload (IOL) due to transfusion-dependent anemia is a serious adverse effect in patients with myelofibrosis (MF). Recent studies have shown that the oral iron chelator deferasirox may prevent multiple organ damage due to IOL in MF. However, it is not clear whether deferasirox may contribute to revert transfusion-dependent anemia. Here, we present a patient with transfusion-dependent intermediate-2 MF according to the International Prognostic Scoring System treated with ruxolitinib in combination with deferasirox. In addition to a reduced serum ferritin level, the patient required less blood transfusions, ultimately resulting in long-lasting transfusion-free survival.
