Myelofibrosis is a disease with heterogeneous driver pathways involving JAK-STAT activation, inflammatory cytokine signaling, and aberrant megakaryopoiesis. Momelotinib targets JAK1/JAK2 and ACVR1, improving anemia and splenomegaly. However, a proportion of patients fail to achieve adequate spleen, symptom, or hematologic improvement.
Bomedemstat, an irreversible LSD1 inhibitor, may:
- Modify megakaryocyte function
- Reduce fibrosis
- Improve cytokine dysregulation
- Impact stem/progenitor dynamics Sequential introduction of Bomedemstat at Week 12 allows assessment of Momelotinib's initial stabilizing effect and evaluates whether LSD1 inhibition can rescue suboptimal responders without compromising hematologic tolerability.
STUDY DURATION
- Screening: Up to 28 days
- Momelotinib monotherapy: Weeks 0-12
- Bomedemstat + Momelotinib combination: Weeks 12-24
- Primary endpoint assessment: Week 24
- Safety follow-up: 30 days post last dose
- Long-term follow-up: Every 12 weeks for up to 12 months Total participation duration per patient: Approximately 14-16 months
NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS Approximately 40 participants will be enrolled across multiple international sites. This sample size provides adequate precision for estimation of the primary endpoint (SVR35) and is consistent with exploratory Phase 2 combination studies.

STUDY SCHEMA (REQUIRED BY THE FIRST FILE) Screening (≤ 28 days)
↓ Momelotinib Alone (Weeks 0-12)
- Week 12 Response Assessment If Suboptimal → Add Bomedemstat 50 mg QD
Combination Phase (Weeks 12-24) ↓ Week 24 Primary Endpoint Assessment ↓ Safety Follow-Up (30 days post last dose)
↓ Long-Term Follow-Up (q12 weeks for 12 months)
