Dr. Mascarenhas received research grant/funding from Incyte, Novartis, CTI BioPharma, Geron, PharmaEssentia, AbbVie, Bristol Myers Squibb, Celgene, Roche, Kartos, Promedior, and Merck in addition to many others. (Pay attention to big pharmas who are sponsoring the study) The study designed to compare Imetelstat against two BAT; JAK inhibitors, ruxolitinib and fedratinib. An excellent study with no risk to patients. Imetelstat vs. BAT, follow up visit after treatment ended. If progressive disease with BAT, patients were eligible for crossover to Imetelstat." “They concluded that the study has the potential to change the treatment landscape in refractory MF and address a critical unmet need for disease-modifying therapies that will improve survival in this poor-prognosis patient population.” (BAT is best available current treatments)
