Few data are available on the treatment with DFX in patients with transfusion dependent Ph-Myeloproliferative Neoplasms in fibrotic phase. Here we report 48MPNpatients and iron overload treated with DFX. Starting DFX dose was 20 mg/Kg in 23 patients, 15 mg/Kg in 20 patientsand 10 mg/Kg in 5 patients. After a median treatment of 27.6 months, 5 patients achieved ferritin< 500 ng/ml, 11 < 1000 ng/ml and 3 a reduction> 50\% of basal ferritin with a global response rate of 41\%. As to hematological improvement, 9/47 patients (19.1\%) showed a persistent rise of Hb> 1.5 g/dl, with disappearance of transfusion requirement in 6 cases. The median OS from DFX initiation in patients with chelation response was 61.0 months compared to 15.8 months in patients without chelation efficacy. Treatment with DFX is feasible and effective in MPN with iron overload and a hematological improvement can occur in a sizeable rate of patients.

Abstract
Few data are available on the treatment with DFX in patients with transfusion dependent Ph-Myeloproliferative Neoplasms in fibrotic phase. Here we report 48MPNpatients and iron overload treated with DFX. Starting DFX dose was 20 mg/Kg in 23 patients, 15 mg/Kg in 20 patientsand 10 mg/Kg in 5 patients. After a median treatment of 27.6 months, 5 patients achieved ferritin< 500 ng/ml, 11 < 1000 ng/ml and 3 a reduction> 50\% of basal ferritin with a global response rate of 41\%. As to hematological improvement, 9/47 patients (19.1\%) showed a persistent rise of Hb> 1.5 g/dl, with disappearance of transfusion requirement in 6 cases. The median OS from DFX initiation in patients with chelation response was 61.0 months compared to 15.8 months in patients without chelation efficacy. Treatment with DFX is feasible and effective in MPN with iron overload and a hematological improvement can occur in a sizeable rate of patients.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
