University of California, Irvine

Start Date

9/16/2025

Completion Date

6/1/2027

Summary

This is a phase I/II protocol investigating whether Nelfinavir can improve anemia and lower serum fibrosis biomarkers in Myelofibrosis patients.

Inclusion Criteria: * ≥18 years of age * Have a diagnosis of myelofibrosis (MF) according to the 2016 WHO criteria * Has a hemoglobin ≤ 10gm/dL at screening * Serum ferritin ≥ 100 * May continue on current MPN treatment, including aspirin, hydroxyurea, interferon-alpha, ruxolitinib, fedratinib, or anagrelide. * Peripheral blast count \<10% during Screening. * Free of other known active or metastatic malignancies other than localized skin cancer. * Amenable to blood draws and symptom assessments. * Agree to the use of contraceptives.
