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.
