Abstract Text Despite the introduction of more selective FLT3 inhibitors to treat FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML), remissions are short lived, and patients show progressive disease after an initial response. Acquisition of resistance-conferring genetic mutations and growth factor signaling are 2 principal mechanisms that drive relapse. FLT3 inhibitors targeting both escape mechanisms could lead to a more profound and lasting clinical response. Here, we show that the JAK2 inhibitor momelotinib is an equipotent type 1 FLT3 inhibitor. Momelotinib showed potent inhibition of FLT3-internal tandem duplication in mouse and human primary cells and effectively suppressed its clinically relevant resistant variants within the activation loop at residues D835, D839, and Y842. Additionally, momelotinib efficiently suppressed the resistance mediated by growth factors and hematopoietic cytokine-activated JAK2 signaling. Consequently, concomitant inhibition of FLT3 and suppression of growth factor signaling by momelotinib treatment showed better efficacy in suppressing leukemia in a preclinical murine model of AML. Altogether, these data provide evidence that momelotinib is an effective type 1 dual JAK2/FLT3 inhibitor and may offer an alternative to gilteritinib. Its ability to impede the resistance conferred by growth factor signaling and activation loop mutants suggests that momelotinib treatment could provide a deeper and durable response and, thus, warrants its clinical evaluation.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.
