Conclusion: Overall, our study demonstrates that IFN discontinuation represents a safe strategy in MPN patients who achieved CHR, and particularly in patients with a driver VAF lower than 10% at time of discontinuation. Importantly, relapsed patients did not develop IFN resistance. Our data contributes to set the frame for future clinical trials evaluating the possibility of IFN treatment holidays in good responding MPN patients.
