WHAT JAKAVI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Jakavi contains the active substance ruxolitinib.
Jakavi is used to treat adult patients with an enlarged spleen or with
symptoms related to
myelofibrosis, a rare form of blood cancer.
Jakavi is also used to treat adult patients with polycythaemia vera
who are resistant to or intolerant of
hydroxyurea.
Jakavi is also used to treat patients 12 years of age and older and
adults with graft-versus-host disease
(GvHD). There are two forms of GvHD: an early form called acute GvHD
that usually develops soon
after the transplantation and can affect skin, liver and
gastrointestinal tract, and a form called chronic
GvHD, which develops later, usually weeks to months after the
transplantation. Almost any organ can
be affected by chronic GvHD.

HOW JAKAVI WORKS
Enlargement of the spleen is one of the characteristics of
myelofibrosis. Myelofibrosis is a disorder of
the bone marrow, in which the marrow is replaced by scar tissue. The
abnormal marrow can no longer
produce enough normal blood cells and as a result the spleen becomes
significantly enlarged. By
