Fedratinib combined with ropeginterferon alfa-2b in patients with myelofibrosis (FEDORA): study protocol for a multicentre, open-label, Bayesian phase II trial by McIlroy, G, Gaskell, C, Jackson, A, Yafai, E, Tasker, R, Thomas, C, Fox, S, Boucher, R, Ghebretinsea, F, Harrison, C, Mead, AJ, McMullin, MF

“…It has shown activity in MF and is well-tolerated, but combination with other therapies is likely needed to achieve clonal remission. Combining a JAK2 inhibitor with an interferon may be synergistic, as haematopoietic cells are activated from quiescence (a typical kinase resistance mechanism) rendering them more sensitive to inhibition. …”

The influence of metabolic hormones on lactation by Rostom, H

“…My work showed that GH signals through the Janus kinase 2 (Jak2)- signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) pathway, while transcriptomic evaluation of GH-treated HC11 cells demonstrated that GH promotes synthesis of milk proteins and proteins associated with lipid synthesis. GH is therefore likely to augment the milk-synthesising actions of prolactin at lactation onset.…”
