Real world experience with Besremi in ET and PV following exposure to Pegasys.
Third generation pegylated IFNα, ropeginterferon alfa-2b (ropegIFN;
Besremi
), was recommended by the European Medicine Authority (EMA) for treatment of Polycythaemia Vera (PV) following a Phase III trial (PROUD-PV / CONTINUATION-PV).

Update 7.4
We will carry on with the current plan,
Besremi
150mcg and monitor labs every 8 weeks. I am very pleased that the three more doses of
Besremi
+ a single phlebotomy brought me back down to target with no adverse effects.

My doctor has taken me off
Besremi
since my blood counts, particularly my platelets dropped. Now about a month and a half off of it. I'm getting a CBC in 2 days and trying not to be scared. My platelets did start to come up right after stopping the
Besremi
(53 to 87 in 2 weeks).

Two Besremi doses and the itching begins!!
Since being on
Besremi
though I have had the dreaded pins and needles/stinging/itching that so many on this board suffer from. My question is, is it my horrible numbers or the
Besremi
that is causing this? And what to do?😩 Miriam

Starting Besremi Next Week
The oncologist has prescribed me 50 mg of
Besremi
, at my request. I am 55 and did not want to do HU for years. She agreed that I am too young to start on this and should hold off if possible. I will take the first does to the infusion center next week for someone to show me how to inject it.

Hard day with Phlebotomy + Besremi + Port Surgery?
I brought my husband with me because I had my first
Besremi
injection with me so a nurse could go over instructions with me. It was a rough day! The first nurse could not get a solid vein/line going. She poked me 3 times on one arm with no luck.

Interesting
The research indicates that an amended dosing schedule, with higher initial dose and faster dose titration of ropeginterferon alfa-2b (marketed as
BESREMi
®), may correlate to earlier complete hematological response (CHR) in polycythemia vera (PV) in adults.

Emergency Room Visit: Besremi and Afib?
Besremi

?

Update 7.2
We discussed the two options of increasing
Besremi
or doing a venesection. Due to the LFT elevation, increasing the
Besremi
dose could be problematic. We decided to opt for a venesection at this point in time.

Rux and IFN combo therapy
In the plot here from this report I've added the Ropeg (
Besremi
) results. Not necessarily comparable across different studies, including this one used PEG, but interesting. Even assuming the median start at 47%, combo got to 6% while Ropeg alone is 14% at 2 years.

Besremi
Hello all, I am on my 4th dose of
besremi
I have not had any terrible side affects. However my Lipase has been rising yesterday at 98ul I am concerned. The Hemo has not said anything yet. I would hate to stop the
Besremi
as I am feeling better.

HCT 45.1
On
Besremi
100mcgs every 2 weeks. My numbers aren’t terrible but are going up. I was so happy but now I don’t know. Thoughts? Should I request a phlebotomy or wait to see what my HCT is in 2 weeks? At what point do they decide to up the
Besremi
? Is this what happens?

9 month Besremi update
Hi All, Latest test results showed that I need a phlebotomy: My HCT was 44.5 and though I'm slightly increasing my
Besremi
dose (now at 160ish), it hasn't kept the HCT under my target of 42.

NAC benefits and side effects
Dear all, I am currently investigating the possibility to start an anti-inflammatory treatment based on NAC (on top of
Besremi
).
