Article Synopsis
  • Most patients with myelofibrosis who are treated with ruxolitinib eventually develop intolerance or relapse, leading to poor survival rates after stopping the drug; hence, the study evaluates fedratinib against best available therapy (BAT).
  • The FREEDOM2 trial was a phase 3, open-label study involving 201 patients with myelofibrosis who were either intolerant or had relapsed during ruxolitinib treatment, comparing fedratinib to BAT, with the main goal being the rate of spleen volume reduction after 6 cycles.
  • At the data cutoff, 36% of patients treated with fedratinib achieved a significant spleen volume reduction by the end of cycle

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) is a potentially curative treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). However, these transplants are complicated by a high rate of relapse in very high cytogenetic risk or refractory diseases. The benefit of this therapeutic strategy for these serious malignant hemopathies could therefore be reassessed.

Background: Failure of gastrointestinal acute graft--host disease (GI-aGvHD) to respond to steroid therapy is associated with limited further therapeutic options. We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of the first-in-human use of the pooled allogeneic faecal microbiota, MaaT013, for the treatment of steroid-refractory GI-aGvHD.

Methods: This prospective, international, single-arm, phase 2a study reports clinical outcomes from a 24-patient cohort with grade III-IV, steroid refractory GI-aGvHD treated with the pooled allogeneic faecal microbiota MaaT013.

Limosilactobacillus fermentum CECT5716, a probiotic strain isolated from human milk, has reported beneficial effects on different gastrointestinal disorders. Moreover, it has shown its ability to restore altered immune responses, in association with microbiome modulation in different pathological conditions. Therefore, our aim was to assess the effects of a Limosilacbacillus fermentum CECT5716 in a rat experimental model of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) that resembles human IBS.
