ExclusionCriteria 
Details  Subjects with a life expectancy of less than six months.

Females who are pregnant or are currently breastfeeding.
Subjects of childbearing potential who are unwilling to take appropriate precautions (from Screening through Follow-up) to avoid becoming pregnant or fathering a child.
Subjects with inadequate bone marrow reserve as demonstrated by:
a. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) that is less than 500

Brief Summary  

Aim

 To target the metabolic vulnerability of BCR: ABL negative myeloproliferative neoplasms: Focus on Primary Myelofibrosis

Patients and Methods:

Early phase II open-labeled single arm study design will be utilized to study the impact of arsenic trioxide and artesunate on PMF. Patients with advanced disease scheduled to start treatment with Ruxolitinib or to undergo an alloHCT will be given a 6-month course of the novel intervention after validation of the findings before those mentioned above, as well as more standard interventions to assess response.

This exploratory early-phase trial will enroll 25 patients over two years.

Expected outcome:

The proposed study aims to validate the metabolic and phenotypic vulnerabilities of JAK2 V617F+ cells using FDA-approved drugs and novel drug combinations. This study will also determine the effect of promising drugs on bone marrow fibrosis in PMF. This would have the potential to translate into a novel therapeutic strategy in the clinical management of PMF, which otherwise does not have therapies that alter the clinical course of the disease.
