Fedratinib, sold under the brand name Inrebic, is an anti-cancer medication used to treat

myelofibrosis.[5] It is used in the form of fedratinib hydrochloride capsules that are taken by mouth. It is a semi-selective inhibitor of Janus kinase 2 (JAK-2).[5][6] It was approved by the FDA on 16 August 2019.[5]

Myelofibrosis is a

JAK-STAT signaling pathway and which are sensitive to fedratinib. Phase I trial results focused on safety and efficacy of fedratinib in patients with high- or intermediate-risk primary or post–polycythemia vera/essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis have been published in 2011.[7]

Medical uses

In the United States, fedratinib is indicated for the treatment of adults with intermediate-2 or high-risk primary or secondary (following polycythemia vera or essential thrombocythemia) myelofibrosis.[2]

In the European Union, fedratinib is indicated for the treatment of disease-related splenomegaly or symptoms in adults with primary myelofibrosis, following polycythaemia vera or essential thrombocythaemia, who are Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor naïve or have been treated with ruxolitinib.[3]

Pharmacology

Mechanism of action

Fedratinib acts as a competitive inhibitor of

JAK-STAT
) leading to suppression of proliferation and induction of apoptosis.

History

Fedratinib was originally discovered at TargeGen. In 2010,

Sanofi-Aventis acquired TargeGen and continued development of fedratinib until 2013. In 2016, Impact Biomedicines acquired the rights to fedratinib from Sanofi and continued its development for the treatment of myelofibrosis and polycythemia vera. In January 2018, the drug's rights were transferred to Celgene with their purchase of Impact Biomedicines.[9]

Fedratinib was approved for medical use in the United States in August 2019.[2][5][6]

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted the application for fedratinib priority review and orphan drug designations.[5] The FDA granted the approval of Inrebic to Impact Biomedicines, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Celgene Corporation.[5]
