The event will be led by Dr. Nick Glover, President and CEO of Sierra Oncology, and will include a presentation by renowned myelofibrosis expert, Dr. Ruben Mesa, Director of the Mays Cancer Center, home to UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center. Dr. Mesa and members of Sierra Oncology’s senior management team will be available to answer questions at the conclusion of the event.
New analyses of RBC transfusion data from SIMPLIFY-1, a double-blind Phase 3 trial of Sierra’s investigational drug momelotinib head-to-head versus ruxolitinib in JAK inhibitor naïve patients, will be presented in a poster by Dr. Mesa on Saturday, December 7th at the ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) Annual Meeting. These analyses demonstrate that patients who received momelotinib had significantly decreased transfusion requirements compared to those treated with ruxolitinib, including a nearly 10-fold higher odds of receiving no transfusions during the 24-week study period.
