Marketed Drugs

Jakafi, Jakavi (Ruxolitinib): Incyte Corporation/Novartis

Jakafi is a kinase inhibitor developed by Incyte Corporation/Novartis, designated for the treatment of patients with intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis (MF), including primary myelofibrosis, post-Polycythemia Vera (PV) myelofibrosis and post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis in adults. This drug is also approved for adult patients of PV who have had a poor response to hydroxyurea. It is approved in the US, EU and Japan for the treatment of PV.

Jakafi is also approved for the treatment of steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease in adult and pediatric patients 12 years and older. Some trials of the Ruxolitinib are ongoing in phase III and phase II clinical trials for the treatment of PV.

Besremi: AOP Orphan Pharmaceuticals AG/ PharmaEssentia

Besremi (ropeginterferon alfa-2B/AOP2014/P1101) is mono-pegylated proline interferon approved as first-line monotherapy in adults for the treatment of PV without symptomatic splenomegaly. It is long-acting, mono-pegylated proline interferon developed using PharmaEssentia's novel pegylation technology platform.

Besremi has been shown to induce complete hematologic and high clinical response rates with good tolerability, as well as high molecular response rates and disease-modifying capabilities, which may result in a delay of disease progression. It also showed high molecular response rates, associated with the ability to reduce the allelic burden of both mutant JAK2 and importantly also non JAK2 mutations, which are believed to play a role in disease progression. It is currently approved in the EU and data from AOPs development program will be presented to the US FDA for approval for commercialization in the US by PharmaEssentia.

Emerging Drugs

Givinostat: Italfarmaco

Givinostat (ITF2357) is an orally bioavailable hydroxymate inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC) with potential anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, and antineoplastic activities.

Patients with PV have abnormalities in a gene that is responsible for the production of an enzyme known as Janus kinase 2 (JAK2). JAK2 is involved in the reproduction and growth of red blood cells. In PV, JAK2 is over-activated. Givinostat is thought to work by reducing the levels of JAK2. In patients with polycythemia, the reduction of mutant JAK2 concentrations by givinostat is believed to slow down the abnormal growth of erythrocytes and ameliorate the symptoms of the disease. The company is investigating givinostat in phase II clinical trials in patients with PV.

PTG-300: Protagonist Therapeutics

PTG-300 is an injectable compound that mimics the effect of the natural hormone hepcidin, but with greater potency, solubility, and stability. Hepcidin is a key hormone in regulating iron equilibrium and is critical to the proper development of red blood cells. As a hepcidin mimetic, PTG-300 may redistribute iron to the macrophages, reduce iron-induced oxidative stress in the bone marrow, and allow sufficient production of red blood cells. Also, by limiting the release of iron into the blood, PTG-300 may inhibit the damage caused by excessive absorption of iron by vital organs such as the liver and heart.

Protagonist Therapeutics is currently developing PTG-300 for beta-thalassemia (non-transfusion dependent and transfusion-dependent), polycythemia vera, hereditary hemochromatosis, and myelodysplastic syndromes. The company has announced initial phase II results of PTG-300 in the treatment of PV.

PRM-151: Promedior/Roche

PRM-151 is a recombinant form of the endogenous human innate immunity protein pentraxin-2 (PTX-2), which is specifically active at the site of tissue damage. PRM-151 is an agonist that acts as a macrophage polarization factor to prevent and potentially reverse fibrosis (PR Newswire, 2019).

PRM-151 prevents reverse fibrosis in animal models of myelofibrosis (MF) by targeting the differentiation of fibrocytes (essential cells in the fibrotic process) from monocytes (Verstovsek et al., 2018).

Promedior is currently evaluating PRM-151 in phase II clinical trial in the subjects with primary myelofibrosis (PMF), post-polycythemia vera MF (Post-PV MF), and post-essential thrombocythemia MF (Post-ET MF).

Market Outlook

The therapeutic market of PV in the seven major markets was assessed to be USD 951.68 Million in 2017 and is expected to grow during the study period (2017-2030).

Cytoreductive therapies have been used in older patients and those with a history of thrombosis to achieve these goals. Hydroxyurea (HU) remains the first-line cytoreductive choice; however, up to one in four patients treated with HU over time will develop resistance or intolerance to HU and go for the second-line therapy. More importantly, patients who fail HU have a 5.6-fold increase in mortality and a 6.8-fold increased risk of transformation to myelofibrosis or AML; therefore, alternative therapies are needed for these patients. Interferon- has been used in PV and has shown significant activity in achieving hematologic responses and decreasing the JAK2 V617F mutation allele burden. JAK inhibition has also been investigated and recently garnered regulatory approval for this indication.

The outcomes of PV patients who fail or are intolerant of hydroxyurea are poor. Although pegylated interferon can be considered in younger patients, currently, ruxolitinib is the only US FDA approved agent in this setting, representing a viable option, leading to hematocrit control and a reduction in spleen size and constitutional symptoms. Although a small number of patients achieve a molecular response with continuous treatment, the implications of such a response to the clinical outcomes are still unknown. Patients whose disease is not adequately controlled with ruxolitinib, or who lose their response, can be treated with low-dose busulfan or pipobroman; however, they should be encouraged to participate in trials with novel therapies.

The treatment for PV has been classified as first-line and second-line treatment. Of the current treatment regimens, hydroxyurea (alone or along with Phlebotomy), and aspirin constitute the first-line treatment therapies. The second-line treatment for patients who are intolerant to hydroxyurea constitutes the only approved drug in the US, Jakafi, and other therapies such as anagrelide, and interferon-alpha (such as PEG-Intron and Pegasys)

Furthermore, the second-line therapies primarily constitute the only approved drug, Jakafi, and other therapies such as anagrelide, and interferon-alpha. Among these, Jakavi contributed the highest share in the PV market in 2017 in the 7MM.

Of the emerging therapies for the second-line treatment, companies like Protagonist Therapeutics, Italfarmaco, and Imago BioSciences are expected to enter the treatment market, with their respective products, during the forecast period [2020-2030]. Givinostat and PTG-300 in the upcoming years will create a significant impact in its launch year.

Out of the emerging therapies, Besremi (AOP Orphan Pharmaceuticals AG/PharmaEssentia), which is an interferon-alpha 2b stimulant, and has already approved in the European countries, will enter the market for PV as a first-line treatment, thereby giving a stiff competition to hydroxyurea, which is the mainstay for treatment in patients with PV. It is approved recently (2019) in European countries and expected to launch in the United States and Japan by 2021 and 2022, respectively.

The market size of PV has been assessed to undergo tough competition, wherein Jakafi is likely to maintain dominance in the hydroxyurea-refractory (second line) PV market. On the other hand, Besremi represents an even small risk, as the drug is being positioned in first-line treatment for PV vs. hydroxyurea.

Key Findings

  • Of the current treatment regimens, hydroxyurea (alone or along with Phlebotomy), and aspirin constitute the first-line treatment. Furthermore, the second-line therapies primarily constitute Jakafi (Jakavi) and other therapies such as anagrelide, and interferon-alpha. Among these, Jakafi contributed the highest share in the PV market (USD 556.54 million) in 2017 in the 7MM.

  • Of the emerging therapies for the second-line treatment, Protagonist Therapeutics, Italfarmaco, and Imago BioSciences are expected to enter the treatment market, with their respective products, during the forecast period [2020-2030].
