Study of SB939 in Subjects With Myelofibrosis

Inclusion Criteria

• Must be equal to or greater than 18 years of age

• Must have adequate organ function as demonstrated by the following: • alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (SGOT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (SGPT) equal to or less than 2.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN), [unless upon judgment of the treating physician, it is believed to be due to extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) related to MF] • Total bilirubin equal to or less than 1.5 times ULN • Serum creatinine equal to or less than 2.5 mg/dL
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0, 1, or 2

• Prolongation of the QTc interval to >470 msec at baseline ECG
• Known positive status for HIV, or known active hepatitis A, B, or C infection.
