About this trial

The primary purpose of the study is to transition participants into an extension study to collect long-term safety and efficacy data. The study will include participants who are safely tolerating bomedemstat, receiving clinical benefit from its use in estimation of the investigator, and have shown the following criteria:

* Participants from the IMG-7289-202/MK-3543-005 (NCT05223920) study must have received at least 6 months of treatment with bomedemstat; * Essential thrombocythemia (ET) and polycythemia vera (PV) participants from studies other than IMG-7289-202/MK-3543-005 must have achieved confirmed hematologic remission.

No hypothesis testing will be conducted in this study.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Percentage of participants with one or more adverse events (AEs)

An AE is any undesirable physical, psychological or behavioral effect experienced by a patient during participation in an investigational study, in conjunction with the use of the drug or biologic, whether or not product-related. This includes any untoward signs or symptoms experienced by the patient from the time of first dose with bomedemstat under this protocol until completion of the study. The percentage of participants with AEs will be presented.

Time frame
Up to ~10 years
2

Percentage of participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE

An AE is any undesirable physical, psychological or behavioral effect experienced by a patient during participation in an investigational study, in conjunction with the use of the drug or biologic, whether or not product-related. This includes any untoward signs or symptoms experienced by the patient from the time of first dose with bomedemstat under this protocol until completion of the study. The percentage of participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE will be presented.

Time frame
Up to ~10 years

Secondary outcomes

1

For participants with ET or PV: Duration of clinicohematologic response

For participants who showed durable clinicohematologic response (DCHR) in their feeder studies, duration of clinicohematologic response is defined as the time from the first documented evidence of confirmed reduction of platelet and white blood cell (WBC) count until confirmed increase of platelet and WBC counts to above acceptable threshold, thrombotic or major hemorrhagic events or disease progression to myelofibrosis (MF), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The duration of clinicohematologic response will be reported.

Time frame
Up to ~10 years
2

For participants with ET or PV: Duration of hematologic remission

For participants who showed confirmed hematologic remission in their feeder studies, duration of hematologic remission is defined as the time from the first documented evidence of confirmed reduction of platelet and WBC count until confirmed increase of platelet and WBC counts to above acceptable threshold. The duration of hematologic remission will be reported.

Time frame
Up to ~10 years
3

For participants with ET or PV: Percentage of participants with transformation to MF or MDS/AML

Disease Progression is defined as the transformation to post-ET myelofibrosis (ET participants only), post-PV myelofibrosis (PV participants only), spleen volume increase ≥25% (MF participants only), myelodysplastic syndrome, or acute myeloid leukemia as assessed by the investigator. The percentage of participants with transformation to MF or MDS/AML will be reported.

Time frame
Up to ~10 years
4

For participants with MF: Percentage of participants with worsening of splenomegaly or transformation to MDS/AML

Spleen volume will be assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (or computed tomography \[CT\] where applicable) at pre-specified timepoints. The percentage of participants with worsening of splenomegaly or transformation to MDS/AML will be reported.

Time frame
Up to ~10 years
