Momelotinib versus ruxolitinib in JAK inhibitor-naive patients with myelofibrosis: an efficacy/safety analysis in the Japanese subgroup of the phase 3 randomized SIMPLIFY-1 trial.

ABSTRACT: Momelotinib, an oral Janus kinase (JAK) 1/2 and activin A receptor type 1 inhibitor, improved symptoms, splenomegaly, and anemia in patients with myelofibrosis (MF). This sub-analysis of SIMPLIFY-1 evaluated the efficacy and safety of momelotinib versus ruxolitinib in Japanese patients with JAK inhibitor (JAKi)-naïve MF. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive momelotinib 200 mg once daily or ruxolitinib 20 mg twice daily (or modified based on label) for 24 weeks, after which patients could receive open-label momelotinib. The primary endpoint was splenic response rate (SRR; ≥ 35% reduction in spleen volume) at 24 weeks; main secondary endpoints were total symptom score (TSS) response (≥ 50% reduction) and transfusion independence (TI) rates. Fifteen Japanese patients (momelotinib, n = 6; r
