Study Evidence Comparator Efficacy
Verstovsek et al. 2012 (COMFORT-I) Phase III Ruxolitinib Might have inferior OS
Pardanani et al. 2015 Phase III Fedratinib Inferior RR

No active treatment; included here because it was used as a comparator in one or more randomized controlled trials. Note that although fedratinib had superior efficacy to placebo per Pardanani et al. 2015, it had unacceptable toxicity and is no longer under active development.

Regimen

COMFORT: COntrolled MyeloFibrosis Study with ORal JAK Inhibitor Treatment

Study Evidence Comparator Efficacy
Verstovsek et al. 2010 Phase II
Verstovsek et al. 2012 (COMFORT-I) Phase III Placebo Might have superior OS
Harrison et al. 2012 (COMFORT-II) Phase III "Best available therapy" Seems to have superior OS
Mead et al. 2015 (ROBUST) Phase II

Patients in COMFORT-II who received "best available therapy" generally received no active treatment, Hydroxyurea (Hydrea), or glucocorticoids.

Chemotherapy

Given until progression
