Quick takeaways

  • The Momentum trial showed positive outcomes in myelofibrosis patients, with maintained responses at week 48 and no new safety signals, supporting the use of Momelotinib and Danazol combination therapy.
  • Combination therapies in MPNs, such as Pelobrescib and Ruxillotnib, are being explored to assess their benefits beyond spleen volume response, emphasizing the need to evaluate the trade-off between side effects and positive results.

Deep dives

Key Updates from the Momentum Trial

The Momentum trial, a Phase 3 randomized trial comparing Momolotnib and Danazal in patients with myelofibrosis, demonstrated positive outcomes. The week 24 data, which assessed primary outcomes, showed maintained responses at week 48 in terms of transfusion independence, spleen volume response, and symptom burden improvement. Some non-responders at week 24 became responders by week 48, suggesting the need for longer treatment duration. The updated data also indicated no new safety signals, addressing concerns regarding safety of combination therapies.
