1 Results of a Randomized Study of the JAK Inhibitor Ruxolitinib (INC424) versus Best Available Therapy (BAT) in Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF), Post- Polycythemia Vera-Myelofibrosis (PPV-MF) or Post-Essential Thrombocythemia-Myelofibrosis (PET-MF) Harrison CN et al. Proc ASCO 2011;Abstract LBA6501.

2 COMFORT-II: Phase III Trial of JAK1/JAK2 Inhibitor Ruxolitinib versus BAT Harrison CN et al. Proc ASCO 2011;Abstract LBA6501. Patients with PMF, PPV-MF, or PET-MF with ≥2 IPSS risk factors N = 219 Randomize 2:1 Best available therapy (BAT) n = 73 Ruxolitinib crossover and extension phase Randomized, open-label, multicenter Phase III trial Patients were stratified based on baseline IPSS risk category Progression events that qualified for the crossover and extension phase: –Splenectomy –Progressive splenomegaly as defined by a 25% increase in spleen volume compared with the on-study nadir (including baseline) INC424 (ruxolitinib) 15 or 20 mg oral BID n = 146

3 Patients with ≥35% Decrease in Spleen Volume at Weeks 24 and 48 With permission from Harrison CN et al. Proc ASCO 2011;Abstract LBA6501. Median time to response = 12.29 weeks Of patients (n = 69) who achieved ≥35% reduction in spleen volume at any time during the study, 64% (n = 44) did so at the first assessment (at 12 weeks) 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 RuxolitinibBATRuxolitinibBAT Ruxolitinib p < 0.0001 BAT 0 28.5% n = 41 Ruxolitinib p < 0.0001 BAT 0 31.9% n = 46 Primary EndpointKey Secondary Endpoint % with ≥35% spleen volume reduction Week 48Week 24

10 Conclusions The study met its primary and key secondary endpoints with statistical significance. Ruxolitinib demonstrated significant and sustained improvement in splenomegaly, disease-related symptoms, functioning and quality of life. BAT-treated patients experienced progressive splenomegaly and either no change or worsening of symptoms. The safety profile of ruxolitinib was acceptable relative to the control. The data extend the positive results of the COMFORT-I trial, which compared ruxolitinib to placebo. Data from the COMFORT studies indicate that ruxolitinib has the potential to significantly improve the current treatment landscape for most patients with MF.
