IMO, Tefferi needs to shut his fat mouth. While at ASH, he wouldn't even stand by his own poster during the Q&A. He was also kicked off YMI's trial for being an a$$. I can also tell you that he is not well liked in the field. One KOL described him as creepy.

incyte vs ymi

I sat in on the ym rbc presentation today. Incyte's drug was approved based on reduction in spleen volume because enlarged spleens lead to a lot of pain and poor quality of life.

but incyte's drug causes reduction in hemoglobin and increases the need for blood transfusions because of the anemia.

YM's drug reduces the need for blood transfusion and should have a survival benefit because of that.

I do not own ym but I am thinking about buying it.
