Brief summary
MOMENTUM is a randomized, double-blind, active control Phase 3 trial intended to confirm the differentiated clinical benefits of the investigational drug momelotinib (MMB) versus danazol (DAN) in symptomatic and anemic participants who have previously received an approved Janus kinase inhibitor (JAKi) therapy for myelofibrosis (MF). The purpose of this clinical study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of MMB to DAN in treating and reducing: 1) disease related symptoms, 2) the need for blood transfusions and 3) splenomegaly, in adults with primary MF, post-polycythemia vera MF or post-essential thrombocythemia MF. The study is planned in countries including, but not limited to: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, New Zealand, Poland, Romania, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, United Kingdom (UK) and United States (US). Participants must be symptomatic with a Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form (MFSAF) version (v) 4.0 Total Symptom Score of \>= 10 at screening, and be anemic with hemoglobin (Hgb) \< 10 gram/deciliter (g/dL). For participants with ongoing JAKi therapy at screening, JAKi therapy must be tapered over a period of at least 1 week, followed by a 2-week non-treatment washout interval prior to randomization. Participants will be randomized 2:1 to orally self-administer blinded treatment: MMB plus placebo or DAN plus placebo. Participants randomized to receive MMB who complete the randomized treatment period to the end of Week 24 may continue to receive MMB in the open-label extended treatment period to the end of Week 204 (a total period of treatment of approximately 4 years) if the participants tolerates and continues to benefit from MMB. Participants randomized to receive DAN may cross-over to MMB open-label treatment in the following circumstances: at the end of Week 24 if they complete the randomized treatment period; or at the end of Week 24 if they discontinue treatment with DAN but continue study assessments and do not receive prohibited medications including alternative active anti-MF therapy; or at any time during the randomized treatment period if they meet the protocol-defined criteria for radiographically confirmed symptomatic splenic progression. Participants randomized to receive DAN who are receiving clinical benefit at the end of Week 24 may choose to continue DAN therapy up to Week 48. The comparator treatment, DAN, is an approved medication in the US and in some other countries and is recommended by national guidelines as a treatment for anemia in MF.

Masking description
During the 24 week randomized treatment phase of the study, participants, investigators and sponsor and relevant vendor personnel (with the exception of specified unblinded personnel, for example clinical supply) will remain blinded to the participant's treatment assignment and to aggregate data that may lead to inadvertent unblinding. Participants who continue treatment with momelotinib or danazol after Week 24 in the extended treatment phase will receive unblinded treatment.

Participants scored each response on a scale from 1 (unable to do) to 5 (without any difficulty, or not at all). Total possible range of scores was 14 to 70, with higher scores corresponding to a greater physical function ability. An increase in score from Baseline indicated an improvement in physical function ability and a decrease in score from Baseline indicated a reduction in physical function ability.

Change From Baseline in Physical Function Score as Assessed by Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function Short Form 10b at Week 24
PROMIS Physical Function Short Form 10b consists of 14 questions; each with a 5-point response. PROMIS short form assesses self-reported capability of a participant rather than actual performance of physical activities. This includes functioning of one's upper extremities (dexterity), lower extremities (walking or mobility), and central regions (neck, back) as well as instrumental activities of daily living, such as running errands. Participants scored each response on a scale from 1 (unable to do) to 5 (without any difficulty, or not at all). Total possible range of scores was 14 to 70, with higher scores corresponding to a greater physical function ability. An increase in score from Baseline indicated an improvement in physical function ability and a decrease in score from Baseline indicated a reduction in physical function ability. Baseline was last assessment done before or on the day of first dose date. Change from Baseline was defined as post-Baseline value minus Baseline value.
