An example of the predicted response for a hypothetical patient. The curves show the interaction of a high initial WBC (red) or a low initial WBC (green) with baseline spleen size (depicted along the X-axis) in predicting whether or not the patient will have a late response to therapy (depicted along the Y-axis). The solid lines show the probability that the patient will respond at the later time point if they had an early response. The dashed lines show the probably of a late response if the patient had not achieved a response by the early time point. Overall, a patient with a higher initial WBC and a larger baseline spleen size is less likely to respond to JAK2 inhibitor therapy. Additionally, the curves clearly separate to show that, for a given baseline WBC and spleen size, a patient who has an early response to therapy is much more likely to have a late response to therapy, whereas a patient who fails to respond early in their treatment course is much less likely to respond with further treatment.
