The purpose of Part 1 (Dose Escalation) of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability, and to identify the recommended Phase 2 dose\[s\] (RP2D\[s\]) in participants with relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (that is a type of blood cancer that has come back after treatment/or has stopped responding to treatment) or R/R higher-risk type of myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS, type of blood cancer). The purpose of Part 2 (Cohort Expansion) is to further assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy in participants with R/R AML or higher-risk types of MDS.
Phase 1 trials primarily test safety and dosing in a small number of participants (typically 20–100). Results do not yet speak to efficacy. FDA approval is typically many years away from this stage.
Currently recruiting: the trial is enrolling patients. A data readout is not expected until after enrollment closes and the follow-up period is complete.
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company C (51/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
