VEXAS syndrome (vacuoles in myeloid progenitors, E1 ubiquitin activating enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory manifestations and somatic) is an autoinflammatory condition caused by somatically acquired UBA1 mutations. Heiblig et al report on an international retrospective analysis of 30 patients with VEXAS syndrome treated with different Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, finding encouraging evidence supporting the use of the JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib with clinical remissions and reductions in steroid use seen in the majority of patients.
The present data do not support the use of ASCT for up-front consolidation for all patients with PTCL-NOS, AITL, or ALK-ALCL with partial or complete response after induction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
