Ropeginterferon alfa-2b has minimal transplacental passage and breastmilk secretion in pregnant MPN patients. (PubMed, Blood Adv)
This is the first study to provide pharmacokinetic evidence of RopegIFN exposure during pregnancy and lactation. These findings support the safety of RopegIFN use in pregnant ET and PV patients and highlight the need for a collaborative registry to collect real-world data and guide management for this high-risk population.

Phase II trial of interleukin-12 followed by interferon alfa-2b in patients with metastatic malignant melanoma: Results from CALGB 500001 (Alliance). (PubMed, Cancer Immunol Res)
Combination therapy was reasonably well-tolerated but conferred marginal benefit in patients with metastatic melanoma. These results can inform future studies that employ recombinant IL-12 or novel IL-12 constructs.

Ropeginterferon alfa-2b in Polycythemia Vera: redefining disease control through molecular targeting. (PubMed, Expert Rev Anticancer Ther)
Its favorable efficacy-toxicity balance and convenient dosing support long-term use, particularly in younger or treatment-naïve patients. Future research should refine patient selection, explore predictive biomarkers, and define its role among disease-modifying agents capable of transforming PV into a chronic, potentially controllable disorder.

Efficacy and safety of ropeginterferon alfa-2b in the treatment of polycythemia vera: a systematic review with single arm meta-analysis. (PubMed, Ann Hematol)
The most common adverse events were elevated liver enzymes (AST: 0.28; ALT: 0.32), influenza-like illness (0.11), and anemia (0.09), with unresolved heterogeneity in all outcomes.Ropeginterferon alfa-2b shows promising efficacy in achieving hematological and molecular responses in patients with PV. However, notable heterogeneity and safety concerns, particularly liver-related adverse effects, warrant further investigation in large-scale trials.

Ropeginterferon alfa-2b in hydroxyurea-intolerant or hydroxyurea-refractory essential thrombocythaemia (SURPASS ET): a multicentre, open-label, randomised, active-controlled, phase 3 study. (PubMed, Lancet Haematol)
Our findings suggest that ropeginterferon alfa-2b could be considered as a second-line treatment option for patients with essential thrombocythaemia and leukocytosis.

Effective Treatment with Ruxolitinib and Ropeginterferon Alfa-2b for Refractory TAFRO-like Syndrome. (PubMed, Intern Med)
The Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) pathway has recently been shown to play an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammation in TAFRO syndrome, and inhibitors of the JAK/STAT pathway may be effective as therapeutic agents for TAFRO syndrome. We herein report the successful treatment using combination therapy with ruxolitinib and ropeginterferon alfa-2b of a case of TAFRO-like syndrome with a long history of polycythemia vera with JAK2 V617F refractory to several treatments.

TYK2 is essential for the therapeutic effect of IFN-α in Jak2V617F-induced murine myeloproliferative neoplasms. (PubMed, Blood Neoplasia)
Most effects of IFN-α on Jak2V617F cells were preserved in Jak2V617F;Stat1 -/- mice but to a moderate degree compared with Jak2V617F mice. Our study reveals essential roles of TYK2 for the preferential suppressive effect of IFN-α on Jak2V617F progenitors and HSCs.
