Mechanism: JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor
Expert: Inhibits Janus kinase (JAK) 1 and JAK2 signaling pathways. In myelofibrosis, constitutive activation of JAK-STAT signaling (often via JAK2 V617F, CALR, or MPL mutations) drives myeloproliferation, splenomegaly, and constitutional symptoms. JAK inhibition normalizes cytokine signaling and reduces malignant clone proliferation.
Everyday: JAK enzymes are like switches that tell bone marrow cells to grow uncontrollably. In myelofibrosis, these switches are stuck "on" (often due to a JAK2 mutation). JAK inhibitors flip these switches off, shrinking the enlarged spleen and reducing symptoms like fatigue, night sweats, and bone pain.
