Karyopharm Gets FDA Fast Track Designation for Myelofibrosis Treatment

By Ben Glickman

 

Karyopharm Therapeutics said Monday it received Fast Track Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its treatment for myelofibrosis.

The Newton, Mass.-based pharmaceutical company said selinexor is currently being tested in conjunction with ruxolitinib to treat a form of myelofibrosis, a rare form of blood cancer, in a Phase 3 study. The study was initiated last month.

Fast track status from the FDA is meant to speed up the development and review of treatments for serious and life-threatening conditions.

Top-line data from the Phase 3 study is expected in 2025.
