TABLE 5.

Current precision medicine approaches to target JAK2 in JAK2-altered ALL and their associated benefits and disadvantages.

Therapeutic strategy Examples Benefits Disadvantages
Type-I inhibitors Ruxolitinib May reduce blast counts when in combination with chemotherapy Withdrawal syndrome
Fedratinib Resistant/persistent disease
Momelotinib Cytopenia
Pacritinib
Type-II inhibitors BBT594 High JAK2 specificity Risk of severe cytopenia
CHZ868 May not associate with withdrawal syndrome Risk of resistant/persistent disease
Development of both available inhibitors has terminated
Allosteric inhibitors (type-III inhibitors) LS104 Lower risk of cytopenia Binding mechanisms of available inhibitors unknown
ON044580 May be less susceptible to resistant/persistent disease Development of both available inhibitors has terminated
Association with withdrawal syndrome unknown
HSP90 inhibitors PU-H71 May reduce blast counts when in combination with type-I JAK inhibitors Associated with severe adverse events
AUY922 Degrades JAK2 harboring inhibitor-resistant mutations Unknown risk of resistant disease
Not associated with withdrawal syndrome Development of both available inhibitors has terminated
HDAC inhibitors Panobinostat May reduce blast counts when in combination with type-I JAK inhibitors May associate with severe adverse events
Vorinostat Degrades JAK2 harboring inhibitor-resistant mutations Unknown risk of resistant disease
Givinostat Not associated with withdrawal syndrome
PROTACS - Demonstrates superior efficacy than ruxolitinib in vivo Risk of cytopenia and adverse events
Should degrade JAK2 harboring inhibitor-resistant mutations Unknown risk of resistant disease
Not associated with withdrawal syndrome
