Study #2012-0737
Evaluation Of Ruxolitinib And Azacytidine Combination As A Therapy For Patients With Myelofibrosis And Myelodysplastic Syndrome/ Myeloproliferative Neoplasm
MD Anderson Study Status
Enrolling
Treatment Agent
Azacitidine, Ruxolitinib Phosphate
Description
This phase II trial studies how well ruxolitinib phosphate and azacytidine work in treating patients with myelofibrosis or myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm. Ruxolitinib phosphate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacytidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving ruxolitinib phosphate and azacytidine may be an effective treatment for myelofibrosis or myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm.
