Résumé

Recurrent problems of patients with myelofibrosis (MF) are cytopenias, debiliating disease-related symptoms and splenomegaly. Whereas the latter are usually addressed by the JAK1/2 inhibitors ruxolitinib and fedratinib, cytopenias often remain critical. Momelotinib, a JAK1/2 inhibitor recently approved for the treatment of anemic MF patients, was shown to improve anemia via a direct inhibition of activin A receptor type I. In this German-wide, multicenter, retrospective analysis the safety and efficacy profile of momelotinib was evaluated in a real world setting within a cohort of 60 MF patients independent of pre-treatment. The median duration of treatment was 12 weeks. As a new, but manageable safety finding, creatinine increase (CTC°1-2) was detected in 10/60 patients (17%). Interestingly, not only hemoglobin levels increased in 84% of patients, but also platelet values (67%). In the cohort of transfusion-dependent individuals (n = 38), transfusion requirement improved in 15 patients (39%) with 8 reaching transfusion independency (21%). Transfusion independency was achieved within a median of 4 weeks (range 2-12). Spleen size decreased in 13/53 individuals (25%) with a median response time of 6 weeks. Thereof, 11 patients had been pre-treated with JAK inhibitor(s) (85%). Clinical improvement was detected in 24/51 symptomatic individuals (47%) with a median response time of 4 weeks. 5 patients stopped treatment due to side effects (8%), 6 patients due to a worsening of clinical symptoms (10%). Taken together, the MoReLife analysis identifies momelotinib as potent and safe therapeutic option also for heavily pre-treated cytopenic MF patients under real world conditions.
