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


Results from an unanchored, matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) analysis, evaluating overall survival (OS) with momelotinib vs best available therapy (BAT) in patients with ruxolitinib-experienced myelofibrosis (MF), were published in Annals of Hematology by Palandri et al. The analysis compared OS data between momelotinib-treated patients from three phase III trials (SIMPLIFY-1 [NCT01969838], SIMPLIFY-2 [NCT02101268], and MOMENTUM [NCT04173494]; n = 383) and patients who received BAT from the RUX‑MF retrospective real-world study (NCT06516406; n = 267). 

Key data: The MAIC analysis demonstrated a significant OS benefit with momelotinib vs BAT in the overall population; hazard ratios (HRs) were 0.525 in model 1 (momelotinib effective sample size [ESS] = 89; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.375–0.737; p < 0.001) and 0.486 in model 2 (momelotinib ESS = 117; 95% CI, 0.353–0.668; p < 0.001). Findings were consistent across sensitivity analyses, with matched HRs ranging from 0.474 to 0.561. In the anemic subgroup (momelotinib, n = 255; BAT, n = 174), matched analyses showed longer OS with momelotinib vs BAT, with HRs of 0.565 in model 1 (momelotinib, ESS = 98; 95% CI, 0.413–0.772; p < 0.001) and 0.503 in model 2 (momelotinib, ESS = 146; 95% CI, 0.379–0.668; p < 0.001). 

Key learning: Momelotinib demonstrated a favorable OS benefit vs BAT in patients with ruxolitinib-experienced MF, supporting its consideration as a treatment option in this challenging clinical setting, particularly for anemic patients.
