A Study of JNJ-88549968 for CALR-Mutated Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

This study is testing a new drug called JNJ-88549968 for people with certain blood cancers called essential thrombocythemia (ET) or myelofibrosis (MF). These cancers must have a specific genetic change called a calreticulin (CALR) mutation. The main goals are to find a safe dose of JNJ-88549968 and to understand its side effects. For participants in the US with MF, JNJ-88549968 may also be given with ruxolitinib or momelotinib. The study is looking for 241 participants aged 18 or older who have these specific CALR-mutated conditions.

Study design
This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific treatment. It aims to enroll 241 participants.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be monitored for side effects for up to 2 years after starting treatment.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

Be greater than or equal to (\>=) 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in the jurisdiction in which the study is taking place, whichever the greater) at the time of informed consent
Positive for a calreticulin (CALR) driver mutation of essential thrombocythemia (ET) or myelofibrosis (MF)
Participants with ET and MF with risk characteristics as described in the protocol
Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status grade of less than or equal to (\<=) 2
For US sites: Eligible for ruxolitinib therapy as per drug label for participants naive to a janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor

Exclusion

Known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to the excipients of the study treatment
Concurrent or recently diagnosed or treated malignancies present at the time of participant screening. Exceptions are squamous and basal cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, and any malignancy that is considered cured or has minimal risk of recurrence within 1 year of first dose of study treatment in the opinion of both the investigator and sponsor's medical monitor. Participants cured of another malignant disease with no sign of relapse greater than or equal to (\>=) 3 years after treatment ended are allowed to enter the study
Prior solid organ transplantation
Either of the following regarding hematopoietic stem cell transplantation:
History of clinically significant cardiovascular disease within 6 months prior to the first dose of study treatment
  • Part 1, Part 1b (US Only): Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)Approximately up to 35 days after first dose of study treatment

    Number of participants with DLT will be reported. The DLTs are specific adverse events and are defined as any of the following: high grade non-hematologic toxicity, or hematologic toxicity. For US only: A DLT is any adverse event attributed to study treatment that meets the criteria for severity and duration and that occurs during the evaluation periods unless it can be incontrovertibly attributed to disease or other extraneous cause such as an accident.

  • Part 1, 2, Part 1b (US Only), Part 2b (US Only): Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)Up to 2 years

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study.

  • Part 1, 2, Part 1b (US Only), Part 2b (US Only): Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) by SeverityUp to 2 years

    An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study. Severity will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 5.0. Severity scale ranges from grade 1 (mild) to grade 5 (death). Grade 1= mild, Grade 2= moderate, Grade 3= severe, Grade 4= life-threatening and Grade 5= death related to adverse event. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and associated neurologic toxicity events (immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome events \[ICANS\]) will be graded according to the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) guidelines.
