About this trial
The researchers are doing this study to find out whether the combination of ruxolitinib and ulixertinib is a safe and effective treatment for people with myelofibrosis. The researchers will test different doses of ulixertinib to find the highest dose that causes few or mild side effects in participants when given in combination with ruxolitinib.
