The purpose of Part 1 (Dose Escalation) of the study is to assess the effective dose (recommended Phase 2 dose\[s\] \[RP2Ds\]) that can be safely administered, and dosing regimens of JNJ-90189892 in participants with relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or R/R higher-risk type of myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS \[type of cancer of the blood and bone marrow, which does not respond to treatment or comes back after treatment\]). 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 at the RP2D regimen(s). The purpose of Part 3 and 4 is to assess the effective dose (recommended Phase 2 combination dose \[RP2CD\]) that can be safely administered, and dosing regimens of JNJ-90189892 in combination with azacitadine (AZA) + venetoclax (VEN) in participants with R/R AML (part 3) and newly diagnosed (ND) AML (part 4).
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.
Enrollment is complete. The trial is in its follow-up or data collection phase — a readout may occur on or near the primary completion date.
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.
