CR is defined as Bone marrow blasts less than (\<) 5 percent (%); Absence of circulating blasts; Absence of extramedullary disease; Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to (\>=) 1.0 \* 10\^9/Liter (1,000/microliter \[mcL\]); Platelet count \>= 100 \* 10\^9/L (100,000/mcL).
Overall survival time is defined as the time duration from the date of randomization to death due to any cause.
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study.
Number of Participants with AEs by severity will be reported. 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) to Grade 5 (Death). Grade 1= Mild, Grade 2= Moderate, Grade 3= Severe, Grade 4= Life-threatening and Grade 5= Death related to adverse event.
Number of participants with DLT will be reported according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 5.0.

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) to Grade 5 (Death). Grade 1= Mild, Grade 2= Moderate, Grade 3= Severe, Grade 4= Life-threatening and Grade 5= Death related to adverse event.
Percentage of participants with DLT will be assessed accordingly to national cancer institute common terminology criteria for adverse events (NCI-CTCAE) version 5.
Rate of CR/CRh is defined as the percentage of participants achieving a CR or CRh at any time post-treatment.
| Arm | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Arm A: Bleximenib and Venetoclax (VEN) + Azacitidine (AZA) | EXPERIMENTAL | Participants with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) will receive bleximenib in combination with venetoclax (VEN) and azacitidine (AZA) for 28-days treatment cycles and treatment will continue until progression or unacceptable toxicity. |
| Arm B: Placebo and Venetoclax (VEN) + Azacitidine (AZA) | PLACEBO_COMPARATOR | Participants with AML will receive placebo in combination with VEN and AZA for 28-days treatment cycles, and treatment will continue until progression or unacceptable toxicity. |
| Arm A: Relapsed/Refractory Setting | EXPERIMENTAL | Participants with relapsed/refractory AML harboring NPM1, KMT2A, NUP98, or NUP214 alterations will receive bleximenib in combination with either venetoclax (VEN) (Cohort A1: bleximenib+VEN) or azacitidine (AZA) (Cohort A2: bleximenib +AZA) or VEN+AZA (Cohort A3: bleximenib+VEN+AZA) or VEN + AZA (Cohort A4: bleximenib + VEN + AZA) in adolescent participants aged greater than or equal to (\>=) 12 years and less than (\<) 18 years of age, to select the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of bleximenib in combination with VEN, AZA or VEN+AZA (dose selection). In dose expansion portion of the study, participants will receive bleximenib in combination with AML directed therapies at the RP2D(s). |
| Arm B: Newly Diagnosed Chemotherapy Ineligible Setting | EXPERIMENTAL | Participants will receive bleximenib in combination with VEN+AZA as frontline chemo therapy for newly diagnosed AML participants harboring KMT2A, NPM1, NUP98, or NUP214 alterations who are \>=75 years of age or \>=18 years of age to \<75 years of age with comorbidities that preclude the use of intensive induction chemotherapy. |
| Arm C: Newly Diagnosed Chemotherapy Eligible Setting | EXPERIMENTAL | Participants will receive combination of bleximenib with cytarabine+daunorubicin or idarubicin chemotherapy as frontline treatment regimen for participants \>= 18 to \<75 years of age with AML harboring NPM1, KMT2A, NUP98, or NUP214 alterations and eligible for intensive chemotherapy. |
| Bleximenib | EXPERIMENTAL | Participants in Phase 1 Part 1 (dose escalation) will receive bleximenib orally. The dose levels will be escalated based on the dose limiting toxicities (DLT) evaluation by Study Evaluation Team (SET) until the recommended Phase 2 Doses (RP2Ds) have been identified. Participants in Phase 1 Part 2 (dose expansion) will receive bleximenib orally at the RP2D(s) determined in Part 1. In Phase 2 participants will receive bleximenib at the RP2D to evaluate anti-leukemia activity and demonstrate acceptable safety at the RP2D(s). |

Bleximenib is an investigational small molecule being developed for acute leukemias, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute leukemia. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical trials, with studies evaluating it alone and in combination with other therapies for these blood cancers.
Bleximenib is a kinase inhibitor, a type of small molecule that works by blocking kinase enzymes involved in cancer cell growth. Its specific molecular target has not been disclosed, but it is being studied in acute leukemias where kinase signaling is often dysregulated.
Bleximenib is being developed by Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ). The company is conducting clinical trials of the drug in multiple countries, including the United States, Australia, and several European and Asian nations.
Bleximenib is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, not yet approved by regulatory authorities, and is being studied for safety and dosing in patients with acute leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia.
Bleximenib is being studied in two active Phase 1 trials: NCT04811560, a Phase 1/2 study in acute leukemia, and NCT05453903, a study combining Bleximenib with AML-directed therapies. Both trials are enrolling or active but not recruiting.
Yes, Bleximenib is being evaluated in combination with other therapies. One trial combines it with AML-directed treatments, and a separate Phase 3 study tests it with venetoclax and azacitidine in newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia patients.
