Drugs used for treatment of splenomegaly and constitutional symptoms include hydroxyurea and ruxolitinib. In terms of clinical trials, we are currently most interested in potentially disease-modifying agents such as inhibitors of mutated isocitrate dehydrogenase protein and telomerase, as well as immune conjugates directed at leukemic stem cells. It is also important to confirm the potential value of another Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor (momelotinib), currently in a phase-3 study, in improving anemia, in addition to its demonstrated efficacy in controlling splenomegaly and constitutional symptoms.
