Abstract

In September 2023, the US Food and Drug Administration approved momelotinib for the treatment of myelofibrosis (MF) with anemia, marking the fourth US regulatory approval of a Janus kinase inhibitor for MF. A positive opinion from the European Medicines Agency followed in November 2023. Momelotinib’s ability to address splenomegaly, symptoms, and anemia, including in patients with thrombocytopenia (with platelet counts of ≥25 × 109/L), the ease of switching from ruxolitinib, and good tolerability uniquely position it to substantially impact the MF treatment landscape.
