About this trial
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).

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Number of Participants with Adverse events (AEs) by Severity
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a pharmaceutical (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention. 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, Grade 2= Moderate, Grade 3= Severe, Grade 4= Life-threatening and Grade 5= Death related to adverse event.
Part 1: Number of Participants with Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLTs)
DLT is defined as any toxicity that requires discontinuation of treatment, any Grade 5 toxicity; Non-hematologic toxicity (Grade 3 or 4) and Hematologic toxicity.
Secondary outcomes
Serum Concentration of JNJ-90189892
Serum samples will be analyzed to determine concentrations of JNJ-90189892.
Area Under the Curve Over a Dosing Interval (AUC tau) of JNJ-90189892
AUC tau is the total observed plasma concentration of JNJ-90189892 in the body during the time between doses. AUCtau of JNJ-90189892 will be reported.
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of JNJ-90189892
Cmax is the maximum observed plasma concentration of JNJ-90189892. Cmax of JNJ-90189892 will be reported.
Minimum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmin) of JNJ-90189892
Cmin is the minimum observed plasma concentration of JNJ-90189892. Cmin of JNJ-90189892 will be reported.
