CLINICAL CANCER RESEARCH PUBLISHES ARTICLE ON MYELOFIBROSIS

An article published in Clinical Cancer Research, “Aurora Kinase A Inhibition Provides Clinical Benefit, Normalizes Megakaryocytes, and Reduces Bone Marrow Fibrosis in Patients with Myelofibrosis: A Phase I Trial,” determined that targeting the Aurora Kinase A Inhibition has potential benefit for patients with myelofibrosis.

“Conclusions: Given the limitations of ruxolitinib, novel therapies are needed for myelofibrosis. In this study, alisertib provided clinical benefit and exhibited the expected on-target effect on the megakaryocyte lineage, resulting in the normalization of these cells and reduced fibrosis in the majority of patients for which sequential marrows were available. Thus, AURKA inhibition should be further developed as a therapeutic option in myelofibrosis.”
