Abstract
7002 Background: MMB, an oral JAK1/2 and ACVR1/ALK2 inhibitor, showed clinical activity on MF symptoms, RBC transfusion requirements (anemia), and spleen volume in the SIMPLIFY trials. This pivotal phase 3 study of MF patients (pts) previously treated with a JAK inhibitor (JAKi) tested MMB vs DAN on key symptom, anemia, and spleen volume endpoints at 24 weeks (wks). Methods: Eligibility: Primary or post-ET/PV MF; DIPSS high risk, Int-2, or Int-1; MF Symptom Assessment Form Total Symptom Score (MFSAF TSS) ≥10; Hgb <10 g/dL; prior JAKi for ≥90 days, or ≥28 days if RBC transfusions ≥4 units in 8 wks or Gr 3/4 thrombocytopenia, anemia, or hematoma; palpable spleen ≥5 cm. Stratification: TSS, palpable spleen, and RBC units transfused. JAKi taper and washout was ≥21 days. Randomization: 2:1 to MMB 200 mg QD plus DAN placebo or DAN 600 mg QD plus MMB placebo for 24 wks, after which pts could receive open-label MMB. Assessments: Pt reported symptoms using a daily eDiary and spleen volume by MRI or CT. The primary endpoint was TSS response (≥50% reduction from baseline [BL]) rate at wk 24. Secondary endpoints, assessed sequentially at wk 24, were RBC transfusion independence (TI) rate, splenic response rate (SRR; ≥25% reduction in volume from BL), change from BL in TSS, SRR (≥35% reduction from BL) and rate of zero transfusions since BL. Results: 94 of 130 (72%) MMB pts and 38 of 65 (58%) DAN pts completed the 24-wk randomized treatment (RT) phase. Median BL TSS were 28 (MMB) and 26 (DAN), Hgb were 8.1 (MMB) and 7.9 (DAN) g/dL, and platelets were 97 (MMB) and 94 (DAN) x109/L. BL TI was 13% (MMB) and 15% (DAN). Prior JAKi was ruxolitinib in 195 pts (100%) and fedratinib in 9 pts (5%). All primary and key secondary endpoints were met (Table). Most common Gr ≥3 TEAEs in the RT phase of the study were thrombocytopenia (MMB, 22%; DAN, 12%) and anemia (MMB, 8%; DAN, 11%). Gr ≥3 infections occurred in 15% of MMB and 17% of DAN pts. Peripheral neuropathy occurred in 5 (4%) of MMB (all Gr ≤2) and 1 (2%) of DAN (Gr ≤2) pts in the RT phase, and none discontinued study drug. Overall, TEAEs led to study drug discontinuation in 18% of MMB and 23% of DAN pts in RT phase. A trend toward improved OS up to wk 24 was seen with MMB vs DAN (HR=0.506, p=0.0719). Conclusions: In symptomatic and anemic MF pts, MMB was superior to DAN for symptom responses, transfusion requirements, and spleen responses with comparable safety and favorable survival. MMB may address a critical unmet need, particularly in MF pts with anemia. Clinical trial information: NCT04173494. [Table: see text]

Abstract
7061 Background: MMB, an oral JAK1/2 and ACVR1/ALK2 inhibitor, showed clinical activity on MF symptoms, RBC transfusion requirements (anemia), and spleen volume in the SIMPLIFY trials, including in MF patients (pts) with thrombocytopenia. MOMENTUM is a pivotal phase 3 study of symptomatic and anemic MF pts previously treated with a JAK inhibitor (JAKi) testing MMB vs DAN. This analysis evaluated MOMENTUM pts with baseline (BL) platelet counts (PLT) ≤150 x 109/L. Methods: Eligibility: Primary or post-ET/PV MF; DIPSS high risk, Int-2, or Int-1; MF Symptom Assessment Form Total Symptom Score (MFSAF TSS) ≥10; Hgb <10 g/dL; prior JAKi for ≥90 days, or ≥28 days if RBC transfusions ≥4 units in 8 weeks (wks) or Gr 3/4 thrombocytopenia, anemia, or hematoma; palpable spleen ≥5 cm; PLT ≥25 x 109/L. JAKi taper and washout was ≥21 days. Randomization: 2:1 to MMB 200 mg QD plus DAN placebo or DAN 600 mg QD plus MMB placebo for 24 wks. Primary endpoint: TSS response (≥50% reduction from BL) rate at wk 24. Key secondary endpoints, assessed sequentially at wk 24: RBC transfusion independence (TI) rate, splenic response rate (SRR; ≥25% reduction in volume from BL), change from BL in TSS, SRR (≥35% reduction from BL) and rate of zero transfusions since BL. Results: 60 (74%) of 81 MMB pts and 25 (58%) of 43 DAN pts with BL PLT ≤150 x 109/L completed the 24-week randomized treatment (RT) phase. Median BL TSS were 29 (MMB) and 24 (DAN), Hgb were 7.9 (MMB) and 8.0 (DAN) g/dL, and PLT were 67 x 109/L (MMB) and 64 x 109/L (DAN). Prior JAKi was ruxolitinib in 124 pts (100%) and fedratinib in 6 pts (5%). Efficacy results are in Table. These results are consistent with the overall ITT analysis set (N=195). Most common Gr ≥3 TEAEs in the RT phase were thrombocytopenia (MMB, 31%; DAN, 16%) and anemia (MMB, 7%; DAN, 14%); Gr ≥3 bleeding events occurred in 9% of MMB and 5% of DAN pts. TEAEs led to study drug discontinuation in 15% of MMB and 19% of DAN pts in RT phase. A trend toward improved OS up to wk 24 was seen with MMB vs DAN [HR (95% CI)=0.490 (0.195, 1.235)]. Additional analyses of pts with BL PLT <100 x 109/L (N=100) and BL PLT <50 x 109/L (N=31) show similar treatment effects of MMB vs DAN. Conclusions: In thrombocytopenic MF pts who were symptomatic and anemic, MMB was superior to DAN for symptom responses, transfusion requirements, and spleen responses and showed comparable safety and favorable survival. MMB may address a critical unmet need in thrombocytopenic MF pts. Clinical trial information: NCT04173494. [Table: see text]

Abstract
e19039 Background: Momelotinib (MMB) is a potent JAK1, JAK2 and ACVR1 inhibitor with clinical activity against the hallmark features of myelofibrosis (MF), namely anemia, constitutional symptoms and splenomegaly, across the continuum of JAKi naïve or previously JAKi treated intermediate/high risk MF patients as demonstrated in the previously conducted Phase 3 SIMPLIFY-1 & -2 clinical trials (S1, S2). S1 was conducted in JAKi-naïve patients with MF (n = 432) double-blind randomized 1:1 to MMB or ruxolitinib (RUX). MMB demonstrated a statistically non-inferior splenic response rate (SRR) to RUX at the W24 landmark analysis in S1 but did not meet significance for total symptom score (TSS) response. Low SRR and TSS response was observed for RUX in patients with low platelets, while MMB elicited consistent SRR and TSS response across the platelet subsets, comparable to the response in the ITT. Transfusion independence (TI) at W24 was higher for MMB vs RUX patients across all PLT strata. Methods: Progressive anemia is a common occurrence in MF with nearly all MF patients requiring transfusions as their disease advances. Given the prognostic importance of Hgb and transfusion status in MF patients including evidence that achieving or maintaining transfusion independence by Week 24 with momelotinib is associated with improved OS in S1 and S2, we expanded the previously reported retrospective platelet subset analysis to explore the W24 TI response rates for MMB and RUX randomized patients in S1 by baseline Hgb and PLT levels and transfusion status. Results: The data presented here suggest that the prognostically-important W24 TI rate was substantively higher in anemic patients receiving MMB versus RUX, irrespective of the degree of anemia. MMB is also more effective relative to RUX in achieving or maintaining TI in JAKi naïve patients irrespective of baseline PLT count or baseline transfusion status. Conclusions: Together with data suggesting that TI response at W24 with momelotinib is associated with a survival advantage, these data further support the potential TI benefits of inhibiting ACVR1 in addition to JAK1 and JAK2 with MMB in MF patients. Clinical trial information: NCT01969838, NCT02101268. [Table: see text]
