Panelists discuss how the choice between hydroxyurea (HU) and interferon (IFN) for cytoreductive therapy in polycythemia vera (PV) depends on factors such as patient age, long-term safety, tolerability, comorbidities, response to previous treatments, and patient preferences, with HU often preferred in older patients and IFN favored for younger patients, those intolerant to HU, or those seeking potential disease-modifying effects.

Panelists discuss how the MOMENTUM trial demonstrated momelotinib’s superiority over danazol in symptomatic anemic myelofibrosis patients, showing significant improvements in symptoms (the primary end point), meaningful spleen volume reduction (SVR25/SVR35), and anemia benefits, with experts noting that the inclusion of a washout period provided clearer evidence of momelotinib’s efficacy profile compared to the SIMPLIFY-2 trial.

Panelists discuss how second-line treatment decisions for myelofibrosis patients failing ruxolitinib can be guided by clinical trial data such as that from SIMPLIFY-2, whereas momelotinib offers comparable spleen control with superior anemia benefits and potential symptom improvement, although experts emphasize the importance of considering a patient’s specific failure pattern and setting appropriate expectations when switching therapies.
