Old drug, new hope: can a repurposed HIV medication fix anemia in bone marrow cancer?

NCT ID NCT07281781

Summary

This study is testing if Nelfinavir, a drug originally used for HIV, can help treat anemia in people with myelofibrosis, a rare bone marrow cancer. Researchers want to see if the drug helps restore iron to the bone marrow to improve red blood cell counts and reduce scarring. The trial will enroll about 10 adults with myelofibrosis and low hemoglobin.
