A phase 2, open-label, translational biology study of momelotinib in transfusion-dependent subjects with PMF, post-PV MF or post-ET MF | NCT02515630 | 2 | 41 transfusion-dependent MF patients | 41% (17/41) of the patients became transfusion-independentb 78% (21/27) of the transfusion-dependent patients had ≥ 50% decrease in RBC transfusion requirements for ≥ 8 weeks 49% transfusion-independence response rate at any time during the study in the evaluable population after ≥ 12 weeks of follow-up | 01/2016–08/2017 Extension study: 04/2014–12/2018 | [67] |
SIMPLIFY-1: A phase 3, randomized, double-blind active-controlled study evaluating momelotinib versus ruxolitinib in subjects with PMF, post-PV MF or post-ET MF | NCT01969838 | 3 Randomization period: 24 weeks | 432 JAK inhibitor-naïve patients who had high-risk, intermediate-2 risk or symptomatic intermediate-1 risk MF and platelet counts  ≥ 50 × 109/L | At week 24: 66.5% of the patients in the momelotinib arm became transfusion-independentc versus 49.3% in the ruxolitinib arm (at baseline, 24.7% and 24% were transfusion-dependent, respectively) 83% of the patients treated with momelotinib required ≤ 4 units of RBCs versus 62% on ruxolitinib Median RBC transfusion rate was 0 units/month with momelotinib versus 0.4 units/month with ruxolitinib At week 48: 75% of the patients treated with momelotinib only became transfusion-independent versus 67% of the patients who were in the ruxolitinib arm and crossed over to momelotinib Odds of remaining transfusion-independent were 9.3 times higher for momelotinib-treated patients versus ruxolitinib-treated patients Median duration of transfusion-independence was not reached with momelotinib after follow-up of ≥ 3 years | 12/2013–05/2019 Extension study: 05/2018 (onset) Ongoingf | |
SIMPLIFY-2: A phase 3, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy of momelotinib versus BAT in anemic or thrombocytopenic subjects with PMF, post-PV MF or post-ET MF who were treated with ruxolitinib | NCT02101268 | 3 Randomization period: 24 weeks | 156 anemic or thrombocytopenic patients with MF, post-PV MF or post-ET MF previously treated with ruxolitinibd 104 patients received momelotinib, and 52 patients received BAT (89% ruxolitinib); 56% (58/104) and 52% (27/52) were transfusion-dependent in the momelotinib and BAT/ruxolitinib arm, respectively; no platelet count was set | At week 24: 43% (45/104) of the patients treated with momelotinib became transfusion-independentc versus 21% (11/52) in the BAT/ruxolitinib arm Median RBC transfusion rate was 0.5 units/month with momelotinib versus 1.2 units/month with BAT/ruxolitinib At week 48: 55% of the patients treated with momelotinib from the onset became transfusion-independent versus 40% who were in the BAT/ruxolitinib arm and crossed over to momelotinib During the entire treatment period: 40% (42/104) of the momelotinib-treated patients versus 27% (14/52) in the BAT/ruxolitinib cohort did not require RBC transfusions Median duration of transfusion independence with momelotinib was > 1 year at any time during the study | 06/2014–04/2019 Extension study: 05/2018 (onset) Ongoingf | |
