Abstract
Background
Myelofibrosis (MF) significantly impacts patients’ overall survival (OS) and quality of life (QOL). This prospective study analyzed ruxolitinib dosing patterns and associated clinical outcomes in patients with MF over 12 months.
Methods
ROMEI, a multicenter, observational, ongoing study, enrolled 508 adult patients with MF treated with ruxolitinib. For the current interim analysis, eligible patients with baseline platelet values were categorized into two groups based on ruxolitinib starting dosage: as expected (AsEx, n = 174) and lower than expected (LtEx, n = 132); ruxolitinib dose changes, interruptions and time to permanent discontinuation were analyzed, along with symptoms response, health-related QOL scores, spleen response, OS, and safety.
Results
Forty-three percent of patients started at a lower-than-expected dose. Both groups showed reduction in average daily ruxolitinib doses over 12 months. Symptoms response rate was similar in both groups at week 48 (40.8% AsEx vs 40.9% LtEx). The AsEx group demonstrated higher spleen response rates at both 24 weeks (50.0% vs 30.2%) and 48 weeks (57.7% vs 45.8%) with a shorter median time to first response (3.3 vs 11.1 months, p = .019) when compared to the LtEx group. Both groups showed upward trends in health-related QOL values. Estimated median OS was not reached for the AsEx group versus 4.7 years in the LtEx group (p = .014). Adverse events were reported in 87.4% and 84.9% of patients in the AsEx and LtEx groups, respectively.
Conclusions
The ROMEI study demonstrated the importance of optimal ruxolitinib dosage in patients with MF for maximum effectiveness and improved OS, with manageable safety.
背景:骨髓纤维化(Myelofibrosis, MF)显著影响患者的总生存期(OS)和生活质量(QOL)。这项前瞻性研究分析了鲁索利替尼给药模式和MF患者超过12个月的相关临床结果。方法:ROMEI是一项多中心、观察性、正在进行的研究,纳入了508名接受鲁索利替尼治疗的成年MF患者。在目前的中期分析中,基线血小板值符合条件的患者根据鲁索利替尼起始剂量分为两组:符合预期(AsEx, n = 174)和低于预期(LtEx, n = 132);分析ruxolitinib剂量变化、中断和永久停药时间,以及症状反应、健康相关的QOL评分、脾脏反应、OS和安全性。结果:43%的患者开始时的剂量低于预期。两组在12个月内平均每日鲁索利替尼剂量均有所减少。两组在第48周的症状缓解率相似(AsEx 40.8% vs LtEx 40.9%)。与LtEx组相比,AsEx组在24周(50.0% vs 30.2%)和48周(57.7% vs 45.8%)时均表现出更高的脾脏缓解率,且到达首次缓解的中位时间(3.3 vs 11.1个月,p = 0.019)更短。两组的健康相关生活质量值均呈上升趋势。AsEx组的估计中位生存期未达到,而LtEx组为4.7年(p = 0.014)。AsEx组不良事件发生率为87.4%,LtEx组不良事件发生率为84.9%。结论:ROMEI研究表明,对于MF患者,最佳鲁索利替尼剂量对于最大有效性和改善OS的重要性,并且具有可管理的安全性。
