Population Pharmacokinetics Of Ruxolitinib In Patients With Agvhd Who Had An Inadequate Response To Corticosteroids

Background: Jakafi® (ruxolitinib) is currently approved for the treatment of adult patients with intermediate- and high-risk myelofibrosis (MF) and for the treatment of adult patients with polycythemia vera (PV) who have had an inadequate response to or are intolerant to hydroxyurea. A prospective, open-label, single-cohort, Phase 2 study (REACH1) was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Jakafi® (ruxolitinib) in patients with acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) who have had an inadequate response to corticosteroids. A population PK analysis was employed to characterize the PK of ruxolitinib in this patient population.
