New hope to cure patients with MPNs

Germline genetic factors influence the outcome of interferon-α therapy in polycythemia vera
«
Interferon
-α (IFN-α)–based therapies can induce sustained hematologic responses (HRs) and durable molecular responses (MRs) in polycythemia vera (PV) and other myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs).

If I had known then, how would I have lived my life differently?
Just thinking out loud here... Recently, I had the realization that my MS symptoms (foot drop) began @ 1987 rather than when I was diagnosed in 2009. I did see a neurologist at the time but MS wasn’t even considered. There were 3 treatment options in 2009 (2 interferons and copaxone). There were essentially

Lowering platelets
I have ET and have been stable on Peg
interferon
for a few years now but my last couple of blood test shows my platelets are dropping, my latest has dropped below the average?

Jak2 allele burden results
I have had PV since 2005 and been on
Interferon
most of the time. Logically I think 31% is good. In fact great. Am I right? Should I dance for joy? I haven't got the medical knowledge to relate it to the bigger picture.

Question for those taking PEG Interferon
I started on PEG
Interferon
at start of the year injecting 135mcg (it’s been slow at reducing levels) to treat my JAK2 PV.

IS DEPRESSION A SYMPTOM OR SIDE EFFECT IN MPNS?
However, on the
Interferon
Alpha, it rapidly grew worse in my own case.

Interferon-Alpha Reduces Myelofibrosis Risk, Mortality Rate in Low- and High-Risk Polycythemia Vera
The rate of Myelofibrosis Free Survival of low-risk patients was significantly higher in those treated with IFN (84%) than in the HU (65%) and phlebotomy (55%) groups” https://www.onclive.com/view/

Allele burden results on Pegasys
I thought that some people might be interested in this because of the potential for molecular remission with
interferon
. I don't quite know what to make of this and neither, I suspect, does my mpn specialist. At least things are moving in an encouraging direction.

Interferon
I currently take hydroxycarbomide but would like to switch to
interferon
, can this be self administered.

Prof Harrison, interferons and disease progression
Very useful video including Prof Harrison discussing Ropeg (Pegasys should offer similar results) and the correlation between reducing JAK2 AB and slowing down disease progression. This is the first ‘evidence’ that interferons can impact progression https://mpninfo.org/category/video-library/

Research hints antiviral interferon could help some patients
Now, increasing evidence suggests that a significant minority of Covid-19 patients get very ill because of an impaired
interferon
response.

Tinitous with PV and pegelated interferon?!
I'm not sure if it's the PV or the
interferon
treatment... Any advice or experiences?? Also lack of sleep is something I'm suffering with!?

Dizziness
Have been injecting with Pegasus
interferon
for 4 months. Initially I appeared to have minimal side effects, but over the past few weeks have been having increasing periods of dizziness and a fuzzy head. Does anyone else recognise this side affect? Thank you

I would have gone with

but covid ruled that out. Fatigue seems to be my main problem.

Interferon-Alpha (IFN) Therapy Discontinuation is Feasible in MPN
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

Is wake up every morning and take my Tecfidera, once I used to get injected every other day with
Interferon
beta 1 b. I am scared of needles. Not so much anymore but I still dislike them. I will exercise at most every opportunity.
