Summary

This early-phase study tests whether Nelfinavir, a drug originally used for HIV, can improve anemia in people with myelofibrosis, a rare bone marrow cancer. The goal is to restore iron delivery to the bone marrow and reduce fibrosis. About 10 adults with low hemoglobin will take the drug while continuing their current treatments.
