The National Cancer Institute awarded a $444,590 Project Grant to Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research under the Cancer Treatment Research program (CFDA 93.395) on June 2, 2026, with completion targeted for May 31, 2028. The project focuses on evaluating genetic and epigenetic determinants of treatment response in patients with accelerated and blast phase myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), rare blood cancers with poor prognosis and limited effective treatment options. Specifically, the research examines clinical and molecular data from advanced MPN patients treated with combination therapy consisting of ruxolitinib (JAK1/2 inhibitor) and decitabine (hypomethylating agent), utilizing patient samples from multiple clinical trials including the Phase I/II MPD-RC 109 study and contemporaneous trials conducted at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and MD Anderson Cancer Center. The grant supports comprehensive genomic and epigenomic analysis of patient samples to identify biomarkers predictive of response to the combination therapy regimen, with the ultimate goal of improving treatment outcomes for advanced MPN patients. The research builds upon preliminary efficacy data showing varied response rates to the RUX-DAC combination, where 10% of evaluable patients achieved complete response, 24% achieved complete response with incomplete count recovery, and 24% achieved partial response. By characterizing the genetic and epigenetic features associated with treatment response and resistance, this project addresses a significant unmet clinical need in advanced MPN therapeutics and may enable more targeted patient selection and personalized treatment approaches for this population.Federal Grant Award Summary
