Ruxolitinib treatment was well tolerated before and after allogeneic stem cell transplant (alloSCT) in a small retrospective analysis involving 15 individuals with myelofibrosis. Investigators looked at alloSCT outcomes in participants with myelofibrosis who—along with reduced intensity conditioning—received ruxolitinib before and after alloSCT (n=4), prior to alloSCT (n=7), or not at all (n=4). Among the results:

• Ruxolitinib was administered an average 8.3 months before and 12.5 months post-alloSCT.
• Average neutrophils engraft days for patients who received ruxolitinib before and after alloSCT was 13.3 days.
• The averages for those who received ruxolitinib before alloSCT or did not receive it were 13.6 and 16 days, respectively.
• Average spleen size reductions 6 months after alloSCT were 26%, 18%, and 18%, respectively.
• All patients were reported alive and in complete remission.
