Dr John Mascarenhas - Mount Sinai School of Medicine New York, USA

Dr Mascarenhas speaks with ecancertv at ASH 2016 about pacritinib, an oral kinase inhibitor against JAK2, FLT3, IRAK1, and CSF1R.

He describes the patient response to pacritinib, with a direct comparison to ruxolitinib (a JAK1/2 inhibitor) being of significant interest, and weighs measuring spleen volume reduction against other endpoints.

Pacritinib is currently on full clinical hold by the FDA following deaths and cardiac events in PERSIST-1, which Dr Mascarenhas considers against the toxicity profile in this trial.
