New hope for tough blood cancers: experimental drug JNJ-90189892 enters human testing

NCT ID NCT06651229

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing an experimental drug called JNJ-90189892 in about 155 people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) that have come back or not responded to treatment. The study has several parts: first, finding a safe dose of JNJ-90189892 alone, then testing it in combination with two other drugs (azacitidine and venetoclax) in both relapsed/refractory and newly diagnosed AML. The main goals are to check safety and find the right dose for future studies.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

JNJ-90189892 (an experimental drug) given alone or with azacitidine and venetoclax

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with hard-to-treat AML or MDS.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 1 trial, so the main goal is safety, not proof of effectiveness. Many experimental drugs fail at this stage, and side effects may be serious.
