Abstract:
Fedratinib (INREBIC®) is a JAK2-selective inhibitor that has been developed as an oral treatment for myelofibrosis. In August 2019, fedratinib received its first global approval in the USA for the treatment of adult patients with intermediate-2 or high-risk primary or secondary (post-polycythemia vera or post-essential thrombocythemia) myelofibrosis. Phase III clinical development for myelofibrosis is ongoing worldwide. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of fedratinib leading to this first approval for myelofibrosis.
