Abstract
Purpose: Anemia is a cardinal feature of myelofibrosis often managed with red blood cell (RBC) transfusions, which may contribute to negative prognostic, quality-of-life, and healthcare-related economic impacts. The Janus kinase (JAK) 1/JAK2/activin A receptor type 1 inhibitor momelotinib was approved for the treatment of patients with myelofibrosis and anemia based on clinical trial evidence of anemia, spleen, and symptom benefits illustrated using binomial response/nonresponse endpoints. In the present post hoc, descriptive analyses, the impact of momelotinib on RBC transfusion burden over time was further characterized across JAK inhibitor-naive and -experienced patients.
Methods: All RBC units transfused were collected during the baseline and 24-week treatment periods, initially in a single-arm phase 2 study as proof-of-concept analysis, and then versus comparators (ruxolitinib, best available therapy [BAT], and danazol) in the phase 3 SIMPLIFY-1, SIMPLIFY-2, and MOMENTUM studies, respectively.
Results: In the phase 2 study, mean transfusion requirement changed by -1.5 units/28 days, with 85% of patients (35/41) achieving numeric transfusion reduction. Across SIMPLIFY-1, SIMPLIFY-2, and MOMENTUM, mean transfusion requirements decreased with momelotinib (-0.1, -0.36, and -0.86 units/28 days), while mean requirements with ruxolitinib, BAT, and danazol changed by +0.39, 0, and ‒0.28 units/28 days, respectively. Overall, 87% (185/213), 77% (79/103), and 85% (110/130) of patients had improved or stable transfusion intensities with momelotinib versus 54% (117/216), 62% (32/52), and 63% (41/65) with ruxolitinib, BAT, and danazol.
Conclusion: These novel time-dependent transfusion burden analyses demonstrate that momelotinib is associated with anemia-related benefits in most patients and greater transfusion burden reduction versus comparators.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Lymphoma, Myeloma & Leukemia is a peer-reviewed monthly journal that publishes original articles describing various aspects of clinical and translational research of lymphoma, myeloma and leukemia. Clinical Lymphoma, Myeloma & Leukemia is devoted to articles on detection, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of lymphoma, myeloma, leukemia and related disorders including macroglobulinemia, amyloidosis, and plasma-cell dyscrasias. The main emphasis is on recent scientific developments in all areas related to lymphoma, myeloma and leukemia. Specific areas of interest include clinical research and mechanistic approaches; drug sensitivity and resistance; gene and antisense therapy; pathology, markers, and prognostic indicators; chemoprevention strategies; multimodality therapy; and integration of various approaches.
