PG - 3383-3399 LID - 10.1007/s00277-023-05458-1 [doi] AB - Ruxolitinib (RUX) is a Janus kinase 1/2 inhibitor (JAKi) approved in the EU for treating disease‑related splenomegaly or symptoms in adults patients with myelofibrosis (MF). This is an interim analysis of JAKoMo, a prospective, non‑interventional, phase IV study in MF. Between 2012-2019 (cutoff March 2021), 928 patients (JAKi-naive and -pretreated) enrolled from 122 German centers. This analysis focuses on JAKi-naive patients. RUX was administered according to the Summary of Product Characteristics. Compared to the COMFORT-I, -II, and JUMP trials, patients in JAKoMo were older (median 73 years), had poorer Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance statuses (16.5% had ECOG >/= 2), and were more transfusion dependent (48.5%). JAKoMo represents the more challenging patients with MF encountered outside of interventional studies. However, patients with low-risk International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) scores or without palpable splenomegaly were also included. Following RUX treatment, 82.5% of patients experienced rapid (
