MyelofibrosisThe Challenge of Anemia

“Anemia is major area of unmet need. That’s one of the major problems… a quarter of the patients at the beginning may require transfusions, and after one year of therapy almost half of the patients already require transfusion. Anemia and transfusion dependency are important prognostic factors.”

Myelofibrosis: More Treatment Options Needed

• Only one agent approved: ruxolitinib(Jakafi®) for 1st-line myelofibrosis

• Ruxolitinib:• Addresses ~70% 1st-line patients• Projected global market: >$2B• Only treats spleen and symptoms

Anemia is not addressed by ruxolitinib

I N I T I A L T R E AT M E N T:

• Optimal myelofibrosis therapeutic would address all three hallmarks:

• Anemia and transfusion dependency • Splenomegaly• Constitutional symptoms

Physicians need more choices after ruxolitinib

The KOL View on Myelofibrosis

Thoughts from:

Srdan Verstovsek, MD, PhDProfessor in the Department of Leukemia, Division of Cancer Medicine, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston

Unmet Medical Needs In Myelofibrosis KOL Presentation, October 17, 2018; ASH Analyst Call, December 3, 2018

“Ruxolitinib may control the signs and symptoms of the disease for some time… but it doesn’t prevent progression.”

“The leading cause of loss of response that has been published is anemia.”

“Three quarters of the patients would be candidates… for a second line therapy.”

“The majority of patients…need another agent to salvage their quality of life, to control spleen, symptoms, and to improve the anemia, if possible.”

“Momelotinib… unlike any other JAK inhibitor, can benefit patients to a great extent on all three aspects.”
