A Study to Evaluate 9-ING-41 As a Single Agent or in Combination with Ruxolitinib in Myelofibrosis Patients

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of 9-ING-41, either by itself or in combination with Ruxolitinib, in patients with advanced myelofibrosis.  9-ING-41 has anti-cancer clinical activity while not causing myelosuppression, and has both pre-clinical anti-fibrotic activity and activity against myelofibrosis. 9-ING-41 may reduce the dose of Ruxolitinib needed for optimal therapeutic response and/or reverse myelosuppression so than an adequate dose of Ruxolitinib can be tolerated for an adequate duration to confer an optimal therapeutic outcome.
