Why does Splenomegaly Matter in MF?

• Mechanical discomfort• Pain• Possible splenic

infarction• Early satiety adding to

cachexia• Splenic sequestration

and exacerbation of cytopenias

• May delay engraftment in setting of allogeneic stem cell transplant

• RPSFT is a recognized method to estimate HR after adjusting for crossover1-5

• Hazard ratio of 0.36 is consistent with the hypothesis that ITT analysis underestimates the survival benefit of ruxolitinib relative to “true placebo”

Imetelstat: A Telomerase Inhibitor

imetelstat binds to RNA template preventing maintenance of telomeres

Telomerase enzyme:• Reverse transcriptase comprised of an RNA component (hTR) and

a reverse transcriptase catalytic protein subunit (hTERT)

• Binds to the 3’ strand of DNA and adds TTAGGG nucleotide repeats to offset the loss of telomeric DNA occurring with each replication cycle

• Not active in somatic cells; transiently upregulated in normal hematopoietic progenitor cells to support controlled proliferation

• Highly upregulated in malignant progenitor cells, enabling continued and uncontrolled proliferation

Imetelstat:

• Proprietary: 13-mer thio-phosphoramidate oligonucleotide complementary to hTR, with covalently-bound lipid tail to increase cell permeability/tissue distribution

• Long half-life in bone marrow, spleen, liver (estimated human t½ = 41 hr with doses 7.5 – 11.7 mg/kg);

• Potent competitive inhibitor of telomerase: IC50 = 0.5-10 nM (cell-free)

• Target: malignant progenitor cell proliferation
