First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This early-phase trial tests whether nelfinavir, a drug originally used for HIV, can improve anemia in people with myelofibrosis — a rare bone marrow cancer. The study aims to see if the drug helps the body deliver iron to the bone marrow to make more red blood cells. About 10 adults with low hemoglobin will take nelfinavir and be monitored for changes in iron levels and blood counts.
