NCT ID NCT06618001

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new drug called JNJ-89853413 in 64 people whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) have come back or stopped responding to treatment. The main goal is to check safety and find the right dose, with a second part looking at whether it helps fight the cancer. It's a first-in-human study, so results are very preliminary.
