  1. MOA
  2. JAK Inhibitor MOA

JAKAVI is a potent JAK1 and JAK2 inhibitor

JAKAVI acts on both JAK1 and JAK2 to inhibit overactive JAK/STAT signalling in myelofibrosis1-3

  • JAKAVI binds to the kinase domain of JAK1 and JAK2 and inhibits JAK1 and JAK2 signalling regardless of the JAK2V617F mutation status1-3
  • JAKAVI inhibits JAK stimulation of STAT and downstream effects on cellular proliferation3

Next: COMFORT-I study design

JAK=Janus kinase; MOA=mechanism of action; STAT=signal transducers and activators of transcription protein.
