I’ve taken ojjarra for 10 months and have not had side effects at all. It’s taken away some of my spleen pain and lowered my high platelets. I don’t think it is still in clinical trials still. I could be wrong. I’ll ask Dr. Tefarri Wednesday at Mayo Clinic.
You can always discontinue it if you have negative side effects.

@davi0937 After converting to Myelofibrosis from ET, I was having to have frequent blood transfusions (about 25 in total) to keep my hemoglobin above a 7.0 baseline. After recommendation to enter a clinical trial by doctors at MD Anderson, I entered that trial at Vanderbilt Cancer Center. I did not respond to the study drug and was removed from the trial. My hem/onc at home then put me on pacritinib, but after 6-7 weeks, it was not helping the anemia. He then put me on momelotinib, and I responded almost immediately. It kept my hemoglobin above 7.0 for long periods of time only needing a couple of blood transfusions over the 5 months I took it before having an allo SCT due to advancing fibrosis and my age. I never had any side effects while on the momelotinib. For what it’s worth, even though hemoglobin levels in the 7-8s is considered severe anemia, I was able to keep a very active lifestyle within those ranges and consider momelotinib a game changer for me, especially with iron overload risk from frequent transfusions.
