How does ruxolitinib work in myelofibrosis?


Ruxolitinib is a janus kinase inhibitor ( JAK inhibitor) with selectivity for subtypes JAK1 and JAK2. Ruxolitinib inhibits dysregulated JAK signaling associated with myelofibrosis. JAK1 and JAK2 recruit signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) to cytokine receptors leading to modulation of gene expression

Is opzelura cream the same as ruxolitinib?

"Incyte has worldwide rights for the development and commercialization of ruxolitinib cream, marketed in the United States as Opzelura. Opzelura is a trademark of Incyte. OPZELURA cream is for use on the skin only. Do not use OPZELURA cream in your eyes, mouth or vagina. Serious Infections: OPZELURA cream contains ruxolitinib."

What type of cancer is Ruxolitinib used to treat?
