Nelfinavir for anemia in myelofibrosis
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study tests whether an old HIV drug, nelfinavir, can help treat anemia (low red blood cells) in people with myelofibrosis. The goal is to help your bone marrow use iron better so you may have more energy and need fewer blood transfusions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with myelofibrosis (a type of bone marrow cancer).
- You are anemic, with a hemoglobin level of 10 g/dL or lower.
- You have enough iron stored (ferritin level of 100 or higher).
- You are not taking momelotinib or pacritinib (specific myelofibrosis drugs).
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a drug called selinexor (taken by mouth) for people with myelofibrosis who have low to moderate platelet counts and haven't tried JAK inhibitors yet. It aims to shrink the spleen and improve symptoms.
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, selinexor and pacritinib, for people with myelofibrosis who have not had previous JAK inhibitor treatment and have low red blood cells (anemia) or low platelets. The goal is to see if these drugs can help improve symptoms and reduce spleen size while being safe for patients with cytopenias.
This trial tests two oral medications, momelotinib and ruxolitinib, to see which works better for people with newly diagnosed myelofibrosis who also have low blood cell counts. You may be able to join if your spleen is enlarged and you haven't had prior treatment with certain drugs.
This early-phase study tests whether an oral medicine called nuvisertib (TP-3654) can improve symptoms and disease control in people with myelofibrosis, including those who did not respond well to JAK inhibitors. Some participants may also receive nuvisertib with other JAK-related medicines to see which approach works best.
This Phase 1 study tests PegINFa (after a bone marrow transplant) to see if it is safe and can help control myelofibrosis. You must be eligible for transplant and meet specific donor, timing, and health criteria before starting the study drug.
This study tests an experimental drug called revumenib, either alone or combined with a JAK inhibitor, for people with myelofibrosis that is still active despite standard treatment. The goal is to see if revumenib can better control symptoms, reduce spleen size, or improve blood counts.
