Learning objective: After reading this article, learners will be able to cite a new clinical development in myelofibrosis.



A matching-adjusted indirect comparison analysis compared OS in patients with MF who were previously treated with ruxolitinib and received momelotinib in a phase III trial (SIMPLIFY-1; NCT01969838; N = 432, SIMPLIFY-2; NCT02101268; N = 156, or MOMENTUM; NCT04173494; N = 195) or BAT from the retrospective RUX-MF study (n = 267).1 This analysis included two models, with model 2 having fewer matched characteristics to increase the ESS.1 Results were presented at the 66th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition by Palandri.1


Key learnings
In the matched analysis, OS was improved with momelotinib vs BAT in model 1 (ESS = 89; HR, 0.512; 95% CI, 0.358–0.732; p < 0.001) and in model 2 (ESS = 117; HR, 0.484; 95% CI, 0.347–0.675; p < 0.001).
In the sensitivity analyses excluding ruxolitinib-randomized patients in SIMPLIFY-1 and momelotinib-randomized patients in MOMENTUM, respectively, the OS benefit of momelotinib vs BAT remained significant for both models.
In the matched analysis for the anemic subgroup, OS favored momelotinib vs BAT (n = 174) in model 1 (ESS = 98; HR, 0.542; 95% CI, 0.387–0.759; p <0.001) and model 2 (ESS = 146; HR, 0.487; 95% CI, 0.360–0.660; p <0.001).
Results from this analysis suggest that momelotinib improves OS vs BAT in patients with MF who were previously treated with ruxolitinib, both overall and in patients with anemia.
