“…IRAK1 is overexpressed in both myelodysplastic syndromes and Fanconi anemia, which display markedly deregulated hematopoiesis (Hofmann et al, 2002;Pellagatti et al, 2010). Phase I studies showed minimal myelosuppression, and in results from a phase 2 study with 35 patients, gastrointestinal side effects were most common, notably diarrhea (Komrokji et al, 2015;Jain and Mesa, 2016 Improved activity compared to JAK inhibition alone (Stein et al, 2015). Ruxolitinib combined with buparlisib is being evaluated (NCT01730248) Panobinostat with ruxolitinib showed >50% reduction in splenomegaly in 79% of patients, with 100% reduction in 53% (Kiladjian et al, 2014).…”
