What is the mechanism by which fedratinib causes Wernicke's encephalopathy in ~1% of patients?

OPEN

The abstract reports Wernicke's encephalopathy as a rare but serious neurological adverse event requiring thiamine monitoring, but provides no mechanistic explanation for how fedratinib disrupts thiamine metabolism or utilization. Understanding this mechanism is critical for preventing this potentially fatal neurological complication. Gap type: unexplained_observation Source paper: Fedratinib, a newly approved treatment for patients with myeloproliferative neoplasm-associated myelofibrosis. (2021, Leukemia, PMID:32647323)
