In patients with CH mutations (n = 279), a similar treatment effect due to canakinumab treatment was observed, but the difference did not reach statistical significance, likely because of the lower sample size: HR = 0.77 (95% CI, 0.49-1.19); P = .238 ( supplemental Figure 1 B, right).

16 In our analysis, canakinumab treatment showed a trend toward a higher decrease of IL-6 and hepcidin levels and was significantly associated with a higher hematological response in patients bearing TET2 mutations.
When the effect of canakinumab treatment was analyzed in patients stratified based on individual CH mutations, patients with TET2 mutations showed a nonsignificant trend for a more pronounced reduction in IL-6 and TNF-α levels compared with patients without CH mutations ( Figure 5 A).
