INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The purpose of this research study is to look at how safe and useful a drug called azacitidine in combination with a drug called venetoclax, is in people with accelerated or blast phase BRC-ABL negative myeloproliferative neoplasms.

Interventions
Azacitidine is a hypomethylating agent that works by activating certain genes in the body to help cells mature and to kill abnormal bone marrow cells.
Venetoclax is a drug that blocks a protein called B-cell lymphoma (BCL2) protein from working. BCL2 is a protein that helps control whether a cell lives or dies and is thought to help cancer cells to live. Blocking BCL2 is believed to help kill cancer cells.
