Patient is on established anti-retroviral therapy (ART) (with medications that are not specifically excluded due to potential interactions within this study) for at least four weeks prior to study enrollment and have an HIV viral load less than 400 copies/mL prior to enrollment.

  b. Patients with a history of Hep C infection are eligible if: i. Patient has completed curative antiviral treatment and has hepatitis C viral load below the limit of quantification ii. Pt has Hep C antibody positive but Hep C RNA negative due to prior treatment or natural resolution.

• Patient with serious active infection requiring IV anti-microbials.
• Patient with presence of any significant gastric or other disorder that would inhibit absorption of oral medication.
• Patient is unable to swallow capsules.
• Patient with participation in any study of an investigational agent (drug, biologic, device) within 30 days prior to start of fedratinib.
• Patient has any condition including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which places the patient at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in the study.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Treatment with Fedratinib; Participants will taken Fedratinib by mouth once a day every day of each 28 day cycle.	Drug: Fedratinib Pill; Participants will be given Fedratinib at a dose of 400 mg PO once daily (4-100 mg capsules). Fedratinib can be given at any time during the day, but patients are advised to take the dose at the same approximate time every day.; Other Names: Inrebic

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Objective Clinical Response Rate	Response rate of fedratinib in MDS/MPN and CNL. Investigators will measure the proportion of patients achieving a clinical response from baseline to week 24 as defined by Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR) or Clinical Benefit (CB) by modified MDS/MPN IWG Proposed response criteria.	Up to 24 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Proportion of patients achieving spleen response at 12 weeks	Participants spleen size will be measured and compared to baseline spleen size measurement. Spleen response is defined as 50% reduction in palpable splenomegaly of a spleen that is at least 10cm at baseline, a spleen that is palpable at more than 5 cm at baseline becoming non-palpable, or, in cases where volumetric evaluation is feasible, a ≥ 35% reduction in spleen volume in patients with a baseline spleen volume > 450 cc. Spleen responses by palpation will need to correlate with a 50% reduction in longest diameter of the spleen by imaging.	at 12 weeks
Proportion of patients achieving spleen response at 24 weeks	Participants spleen size will be measured and compared to baseline spleen size measurement. Spleen response is defined as 50% reduction in palpable splenomegaly of a spleen that is at least 10cm at baseline, a spleen that is palpable at more than 5 cm at baseline becoming non-palpable, or, in cases where volumetric evaluation is feasible, a ≥ 35% reduction in spleen volume in patients with a baseline spleen volume > 450 cc. Spleen responses by palpation will need to correlate with a 50% reduction in longest diameter of the spleen by imaging.	at 24 weeks
Proportion of patients who have a 50% reduction in Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Symptom Assessment Form total symptom score (MPN-SAF TSS) at 12 weeks	Reduction in MPN-SAF TSS score will be measured by comparing TSS score at day 84 assessment to TSS score on cycle 1 day 1. Only patients with baseline TSS ≥ 10 will be eligible for symptom response. Patients who do not have a TSS score performed at day 84 assessment or who have discontinued study drug prior to day 84 assessment will be considered to not have 50% reduction in TSS. The MPN-SAF TSS is a questionnaire with nine items containing the most common symptoms reported by patients (concentration, early satiety, inactivity, night sweats, itching, bone pain, abdominal discomfort, weight loss and fever), plus one item ("worst fatigue") from the "Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI)". Each item has a score that ranges from 0 (absent/as good as it can be) to 10 (worst imaginable/as bad as it can be). A higher score therefore indicates more severe symptoms	at 12 weeks
Proportion of patients who have a 50% reduction in Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Symptom Assessment Form total symptom score (MPN-SAF TSS) at 24 weeks	Reduction in MPN-SAF TSS score will be measured by comparing TSS score at day 84 assessment to TSS score on cycle 1 day 1. Only patients with baseline TSS ≥ 10 will be eligible for symptom response. Patients who do not have a TSS score performed at day 84 assessment or who have discontinued study drug prior to day 84 assessment will be considered to not have 50% reduction in TSS. The MPN-SAF TSS is a questionnaire with nine items containing the most common symptoms reported by patients (concentration, early satiety, inactivity, night sweats, itching, bone pain, abdominal discomfort, weight loss and fever), plus one item ("worst fatigue") from the "Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI)". Each item has a score that ranges from 0 (absent/as good as it can be) to 10 (worst imaginable/as bad as it can be). A higher score therefore indicates more severe symptoms	at 24 weeks

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Patient's global impression of change (PGIC) at week 12	Patient's global impression of change will be measured using the validated questionnaire wherein patients are asked about the change in their myelofibrosis symptoms since starting on the study. Patients can choose from one of seven potential answers: Very much improved, Much improved, Minimally improved, No change, Minimally worse, Much worse, Very much worse. This will be reportedly qualitatively wherein the number of patients choosing particular answers will be tabulated and frequencies will be reported.	at week 12
Patient's global impression of change (PGIC) at week 24	Patient's global impression of change will be measured using the validated questionnaire wherein patients are asked about the change in their myelofibrosis symptoms since starting on the study. Patients can choose from one of seven potential answers: Very much improved, Much improved, Minimally improved, No change, Minimally worse, Much worse, Very much worse. This will be reportedly qualitatively wherein the number of patients choosing particular answers will be tabulated and frequencies will be reported.	at week 24
