FDA Approval Alert: The Need-to-Know | Momelotinib for Myelofibrosis With Anemia
In September 2023, momelotinib was approved for the treatment of patients with intermediate- or high-risk myelofibrosis, including primary and secondary myelofibrosis, who are experiencing anemia.
If momelotinib receives approval in the European Union, it will become the only agent for the treatment of myelofibrosis coupled with moderate to severe anemia.
With the approval of momelotinib by the FDA, the updated use for its role in myelofibrosis will potentially change clinical practice, according to Ruben Mesa, MD.
Patients with myelofibrosis and anemia can now receive treatment with momelotinib following the agent’s approval by the FDA based on results from the phase 3 MOMENTUM trial.
