These novel myelofibrosis therapies are anticipated to enter the myelofibrosis market in the forecast period and are expected to change the market. By 2034, among all the therapies, the highest revenue is expected to be generated by OJJAARA/OMJJARA. Discover which myelofibrosis therapies are expected to grab the largest market share @ Myelofibrosis Market Report Key Factors Driving the Growth of the Myelofibrosis Market Novel Therapies Drive Myelofibrosis Treatment Advancements Currently, four JAK inhibitors have been approved by the US FDA for the treatment of myelofibrosis, including JAKAFI (ruxolitinib), INREBIC (fedratinib), VONJO (pacritinib), and OJJAARA (momelotinib). No drug therapy can cure myelofibrosis. As myelofibrosis primarily affects older adults, stem cell transplantation is not a treatment option for most myelofibrosis patients. The launch of another JAK inhibitor, BESREMi, will further change the dynamics of the myelofibrosis market. Rich clinical pipeline and emerging non-JAK approaches driving the myelofibrosis landscape Beyond JAK inhibitors, active clinical development includes BET inhibitors (Incyte's INCB057643; Novartis' Pelabresib), XPO1 inhibitor (Karyopharm Therapeutics' XPOVIO), Telomerase inhibitor (Geron's RYTELO), MDM2 protein inhibitor (Kartos Therapeutics' Navtemadlin), Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (Telios Pharma's TL-895), PIM1 kinase inhibitor (Sumitomo Pharma's TP-3654), LOX inhibitor (Syntara's SNT-5505), and others, raising market potential by promising new label expansions, second-line options, and higher-value therapies should any prove to be disease-modifying. An aging population & increasing incidence with better survival Myelofibrosis primarily affects older adults; population aging increases the absolute number of patients. As treatments improve symptoms and (in some cases) survival, prevalent patient pools grow, supporting longer-term market demand. In the US in 2024, the 70+ years of age group had the highest number of cases, accounting for approximately 60% of the total prevalent cases, while the ≤39 years of age group accounted for just ~2%. Diagnostic & genomic testing improvements are driving myelofibrosis patient pool, leading to the growth of myelofibrosis market Wider use of molecular profiling (JAK2, CALR, MPL, and others) enables earlier and more accurate MF diagnosis and better patient stratification for targeted therapies. This both expands the diagnosed population and helps match patients to appropriate, often higher-value, treatments. Myelofibrosis Market Analysis JAK inhibitors have become the cornerstone of treatment for patients with myelofibrosis, offering significant benefits such as spleen reduction, symptom relief, and improved quality of life, which can also extend survival in those with advanced disease. All approved JAK inhibitors primarily target JAK2, particularly the wild-type form, but they differ in their activity against other JAK family members. For instance, JAKAFI myelofibrosis inhibits both JAK1 and JAK2; INREBIC selectively inhibits JAK2 while sparing JAK1 and also affects FLT3 and other targets; VONJO myelofibrosis inhibits JAK2 while sparing JAK1 but additionally impacts FLT3, IRAK, and ACVR1; and OJJAARA, approved through a different pathway, targets JAK1/JAK2 and ACVR1, mainly for myelofibrosis patients with anemia. These varying mechanisms lead to distinct patient outcomes. JAKAFI myelofibrosis continues to see strong demand and is expected to grow further, maintaining its position as the standard of care in myelofibrosis. Myelofibrosis will remain the largest segment of JAKAFI's patient population until polycythemia vera cases eventually increase. However, market growth may be limited due to patent expirations of key therapies, with JAKAFI patents set to expire in 2027 for Novartis and 2028 for Incyte, presenting potential opportunities for competitors. In response, Incyte is exploring combination trials with novel drugs to extend JAKAFI's therapeutic lifespan. Learn more about the treatment options for myelofibrosis @ Myelofibrosis Therapy The myelofibrosis treatment landscape offers significant opportunities for innovation, focusing on several key areas: Treating Lower-Risk Patients: Developing safe and effective therapies for patients with lower-risk myelofibrosis, allowing for earlier and more favorable interventions. Enhancing First-Line Treatments: Improving existing first-line therapies for intermediate- to high-risk patients through novel drugs or combination strategies. Managing Cytopenia: Developing targeted therapies to address cytopenia, a significant unmet need in patient care. Myelofibrosis Competitive Landscape The myelofibrosis clinical trial pipeline includes several drugs in mid- and late-stage development that are expected to enter the market during the forecast period. The emerging landscape offers a diverse range of therapeutic alternatives for treatment, including XPOVIO (Karyopharm Therapeutics), Elitracet (Takeda/Keros Therapeutics), Navtemadlin (Kartos Therapeutics), Pelabresib (Novartis), INCB057643 (Incyte), Bomedemstat (Merck), and others, all of which are used in various lines of treatment. The expected launch of these therapies is expected to have a further positive impact on the market. INCB57643 is an orally administered small molecule. Bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) proteins act as epigenetic readers that control the expression of key oncoproteins implicated in the development of myelofibrosis and other hematologic malignancies, including B-lymphoma-2, nuclear factor kappa, and c-Myc. In a prior Phase I/II clinical trial, the oral BET inhibitor INCB057643, tested both as a monotherapy and in combination with ruxolitinib, demonstrated favorable tolerability and promising clinical activity in patients with advanced cancers. In its Q2 2025 financial report, the company announced that the combination of INCB057643 with ruxolitinib and INCB57643 (a JAK1/JAK2 and BET inhibitor) is currently being evaluated in a Phase II trial for myelofibrosis. RYTELO (imetelstat) is an investigational telomerase inhibitor that targets telomerase, selectively eliminating malignant stem and progenitor cells in the bone marrow, which drive diseases like myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and myelofibrosis. By blocking the proliferation of these malignant cells, imetelstat supports the recovery of healthy bone marrow and blood cell production and has shown disease-modifying effects and clinical benefits in Phase III trials for myelofibrosis. This mechanism sets imetelstat apart from other approved or investigational therapies for these blood cancers. In January 2025, Geron reported achieving 75% enrollment in the Phase III IMpactMF trial, which is comparing imetelstat to Best Available Therapy (BAT) in intermediate-2 or high-risk myelofibrosis patients who have relapsed or are refractory to JAK inhibitor treatment. Elritercept is a late-stage investigational activin inhibitor aimed at treating anemia associated with hematologic malignancies, including MDS and myelofibrosis. It is currently undergoing Phase II evaluation in patients with myelofibrosis. In December 2024, Keros Therapeutics presented updated data from this ongoing Phase II trial at ASH 2024. Additionally, in December 2024, Takeda announced an exclusive licensing agreement with Keros to further develop, manufacture, and commercialize elritercept globally, excluding mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau. The anticipated launch of these emerging myelofibrosis therapies are poised to transform the myelofibrosis market landscape in the coming years. As these cutting-edge myelofibrosis therapies continue to mature and gain regulatory approval, they are expected to reshape the myelofibrosis market landscape, offering new standards of care and unlocking opportunities for medical innovation and economic growth.

In June 2025, QIAGEN and Incyte announced a new global collaboration to develop a novel diagnostic panel to support Incyte's extensive portfolio of investigational therapies for patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including Incyte's monoclonal antibody INCA033989. In January 2025, Karyopharm Therapeutics stated that it expects to report top-line results from the Phase III SENTRY trial in the second half of 2025, which could represent a potentially transformative opportunity to establish a new treatment paradigm in myelofibrosis. What is Myelofibrosis? Myelofibrosis is a rare blood cancer marked by the accumulation of scar tissue, or 'fibrosis', in the bone marrow. This excess scar tissue prevents the bone marrow from producing enough healthy blood cells. It belongs to a group of blood cancers called 'myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs)', in which the blood cells produced by the bone marrow grow and function abnormally. When myelofibrosis arises independently, without being caused by another bone marrow disorder, it is referred to as primary myelofibrosis. In other cases, it can develop from another MPN, such as polycythemia vera or essential thrombocythemia. When this occurs, it is called secondary myelofibrosis, sometimes specifically termed post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis.

Aug. 20, 2025 -- Keros Therapeutics, Inc. (“Keros”) (Nasdaq: KROS), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing novel therapeutics to treat a wide range of patients with disorders that are linked to dysfunctional signaling of the transforming growth factor-beta (“TGF-ß”) family of proteins, today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) granted Orphan Drug designation for KER-065 for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (“DMD”). “Receiving Orphan Drug designation for KER-065 highlights the significant unmet medical need for patients with DMD,” said Jasbir S. Seehra, President and Chief Executive Officer. “This designation serves as a significant milestone for Keros as we advance KER-065 into a Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with DMD.” The FDA grants Orphan Drug designation to investigational therapies addressing rare medical diseases or conditions that affect fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. This designation provides certain potential benefits, including tax credits for qualified clinical testing, waiver or partial payment of FDA application fees and seven years of market exclusivity, if approved. KER-065 is a novel ligand trap comprised of a modified ligand-binding domain derived from activin receptor type IIA and activin receptor type IIB that is fused to the portion of the human antibody known as the Fc domain. KER-065 is designed to act as a ligand trap and inhibit the biological effects of myostatin and activin A, two ligands that signal through activin receptors, to increase skeletal muscle regeneration, increase muscle size and strength, reduce body fat, reduce fibrosis of the skeletal muscle and increase bone strength. We are developing KER-065 for the treatment of neuromuscular diseases, with an initial focus on DMD. DMD is the most common form of muscular dystrophy and results in muscle degeneration and premature death. DMD results from the lack of functional dystrophin protein that helps promote myofiber stability, caused by a gene mutation. The lack of dystrophin, an important structural component of muscle cells, causes muscle cells to have increased susceptibility to damage and to progressively die. Additionally, the absence of dystrophin in muscle cells leads to significant cell damage and ultimately causes muscle cell death and the replacement of muscle with fibrotic and fatty tissue. The replacement of muscle fibers with fatty and fibrotic tissue leads to progressive loss of muscle strength and function leading to immobility and respiratory and cardiac complications. In DMD patients, heart muscle cells progressively die and are replaced with scar tissue. This cardiomyopathy eventually leads to heart failure, which is currently the leading cause of death among those with DMD. The National Organization for Rare Disorders estimates that approximately one in every 3,500 male births is affected by DMD worldwide. Keros is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing novel therapeutics to treat a wide range of patients with disorders that are linked to dysfunctional signaling of the TGF-ß family of proteins. Keros is a leader in understanding the role of the TGF-ß family of proteins, which are master regulators of the growth, repair and maintenance of a number of tissues, including blood, bone, skeletal muscle, adipose and heart tissue. By leveraging this understanding, Keros has discovered and is developing protein therapeutics that have the potential to provide meaningful and potentially disease-modifying benefit to patients. Keros’ lead product candidate, KER-065, is being developed for the treatment of neuromuscular diseases, with an initial focus on DMD. Keros’ most advanced product candidate, elritercept, is being developed for the treatment of cytopenias, including anemia and thrombocytopenia, in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome and in patients with myelofibrosis.
