Myelofibrosis (MF) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm that was most commonly treated with hydroxyurea (HU) prior to approval of ruxolitinib (RUX), now the standard of care. Factors that influence changes in MF treatment in real-world settings are not well understood. The METER study (NCT05444972) was a multi-country retrospective chart review of MF treatment patterns, treatment effectiveness, and healthcare resource utilization.

University of Health Sciences, Ankara Oncology Training and Research Hospital, Department of Hematology & Apheresis Unit, Ankara, Turkey; Ankara Yildirim Beyazit University, School of Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Hematology, Ankara, Turkey.

Background And Objectives: Following an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT), a primary cause of morbidity and mortality is still steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (SR-aGVHD). Recently, ruxolitinib, an oral inhibitor of JAK1 and JAK2, was approved for use in individuals suffering from SR-aGVHD. This study aimed to analyze the efficacy and toxicity of ruxolitinib in the real world.

This case report presents the management of a 25-year-old woman with refractory hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) secondary to adult-onset Still's disease. Despite initial treatment with corticosteroids and biologic therapies, including anakinra and tocilizumab, her condition continued to deteriorate, necessitating intensive care unit admission. Following multidisciplinary consultation, ruxolitinib therapy, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor targeting hyperinflammation, was initiated.
