Condition(s) studied

Myelofibrosis

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

ElriterceptRuxolitinib

Elritercept: Elritercept SC injection.

Ruxolitinib: Ruxolitinib tablet.

Study summary

The main aim of this study is to learn how safe elritercept is and how well it is tolerated when taken alone and in combination with the JAK inhibitor, ruxolitinib. Other aims are to learn about the effects of elritercept on the signs and symptoms of MF when taken with or without ruxolitinib and to learn how elritercept affects the body, how the body processes elritercept, and the effects of elritercept on anemia when taken with or without ruxolitinib The study will also check on how safe elritercept is and how well it is tolerated.

Male or female greater than equal to (≥)18 years of age, at the time of signing informed consent. 4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score lesser than equal to (≤)2. 5. Life expectancy ≥12 months per Investigator assessment. 6. Confirmed diagnosis of primary myelofibrosis (PMF) (prefibrotic or overtly fibrotic) according to the 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis (PV MF), or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis (ET MF) according to the 2008 International Working Group-Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Research and Treatment (IWG-MRT) criteria. 7. Anemia, defined as: 1. Having received ≥6 units of RBC transfusion for Hgb ≤8.5 g/dL in the 12 weeks prior to the planned C1D1, including ≥1 unit of RBC transfusion in the 28 days prior to C1D1; or 2. Having ≥3 evaluable Hgb measurements at less than (\<)10.0 g/dL including ≥1 evaluable Hgb measurement assessed 8 to 13 weeks prior to C1D1. Participants receiving RBC transfusions but not meeting criterion "a." may enroll under criterion "b." following the below parameters: * All pre-transfusion Hgb values (defined as a Hgb assessed within the 3 days prior to a transfusion) should be recorded, and ≥1 pre-transfusion Hgb value is required. * Hgb values collected within the 28 days following a transfusion will not be considered evaluable unless qualifying as a pre-transfusion Hgb; in cases where multiple transfusions are given in succession due to poor Hgb response, only the first pre-transfusion Hgb will be considered evaluable. 8. Arm-specific criteria: Arms 1A and 2A: 1. Previously treated with JAK inhibitor(s) and, per the Investigator, discontinued due to one of the following reasons: * Relapsed disease following treatment with JAK inhibitor(s) * Refractory to treatment with JAK inhibitor(s) * Intolerance to treatment with JAK inhibitor(s) * Participant no longer met risk/benefit ratio to continue JAK inhibitor(s) OR * Participant with prognostic score of intermediate-1 or higher per Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System (DIPSS) and is ineligible for JAK inhibitor(s) in the opinion of the Investigator 2. Participants previously treated with JAK inhibitor(s) must have discontinued JAK inhibitor therapy ≥8 weeks before C1D1 Arms 1B and 2B: 1.

In Arm 2B only, at least 10 participants should have been on ruxolitinib for \<6 months prior to C1D1. 2. Meets ≥1 of the following criteria in the opinion of the Investigator: * Current ruxolitinib treatment is considered to be providing insufficient control of the disease * The participant's cytopenias are limiting the participant's ruxolitinib dose intensity * The participant's disease is symptomatic and warrants additional therapy Arm 2C (Brazil only): 1. No prior treatment with JAK inhibitor(s) and no access to JAK inhibitor therapy as determined by the Investigator 2. Spleen volume ≥ 450 cubic centimeter (cm\^3) as assessed by CT or MRI collected during the pretreatment period and/or 3.
