Hello all. It has been a while but I wanted to share this latest info.

The combination of panobinostat (Farydak) and ruxolitinib (Jakafi) demonstrated efficacy and a tolerable safety profile as a treatment for patients with primary myelofibrosis (PMF) and post-polycythemia vera–related myelofibrosis (post-PV MF), and post-essential thrombocythemia–related myelofibrosis (post-ET MF), according to results of a phase I dose-escalation study that was published in Leukemia Research.
