Arm-specific criteria: Arm 1A : • Previously treated with JAK inhibitor(s) and per the Investigator discontinued due to relapse, refractory, intolerance, or no longer met the benefit/risk ratio to continue on JAK inhibitor(s) treatment or ineligibility for JAK inhibitor(s) treatment or DIPSS intermediate 1 or higher disease and ineligible for JAK inhibitor in the opinion of investigator. • Anemia, defined as hemoglobin =10 g/dL during screening, or receiving RBC transfusions Arm 2A: • Previously treated with JAK inhibitor(s) • Anemia, defined as hemoglobin =10 g/dL during screening, or receiving RBC transfusions Arms 1B and 2B (note: sites in France will not participate in Arm 1B of the study): • Has been receiving ruxolitinib for =8 weeks prior to C1D1 and on a stable dose for =4 weeks prior to C1D1. • Anemia, defined as hemoglobin =10 g/dL during screening, or receiving RBC transfusions Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 40 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 70

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: • Presence of the following cardiac conditions: a. New York Heart Association Class 3 or 4 heart failure b. QTcF >500 msec on the screening or C1D1 electrocardiogram (ECG) c. Uncontrolled clinically significant arrhythmia (participants with rate controlled atrial fibrillation are not excluded) d. Acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina pectoris 2%.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Part 1 Dose Escalation: •To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ascending doses of KER-050 monotherapy in participants with primary myelofibrosis (PMF), post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis (post-ET MF), and post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis (post-PV MF) who have anemia, and to determine the dose that will be evaluated in Part 2 of the study •To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ascending doses of KER-050 in combination with ruxolitinib in participants with PMF, post-ET MF, and post-PV MF who have anemia, and to determine the dose that will be evaluated in Part 2 of the study Part 2 Dose Expansion: •To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the dose(s) selected in Part 1 ;Secondary Objective: •To evaluate the PK of KER-050 administered with or without ruxolitinib in participants with PMF/post-ET MF/post-PV MF •To evaluate the PD effects related to erythropoiesis of KER-050 administered with or without ruxolitinib in participants with PMF/post-ET MF/post-PV MF •To evaluate the effect on anemia of KER-050 administered with or without ruxolitinib in participants with PMF/post-ET MF/post-PV MF •To evaluate the effect on MF disease manifestations and symptoms of KER-050 administered with or without ruxolitinib in participants with PMF/post-ET MF/post-PV MF •To evaluate the effect of KER-050 administered with or without ruxolitinib on progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or accelerated MF Additional exploratory objective can be found in the Protocol. ;Primary end point(s): •Safety and tolerability as determined by the incidence of AEs, including severe AEs and SAEs;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 64 Weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): •Proportion of participants with mean hemoglobin increase =1.5 g/dL or =2.0 g/dL from baseline over a period of >12 consecutive weeks within the first 24 weeks of study in subgroup of transfusion-independent participants • Proportion of participants with decrease in number of RBC transfusions from baseline over a period of >12 consecutive weeks within the first 24 weeks of study in subgroup of participants with anemia requiring RBC transfusions [Time Frame: Week 24] Evaluate PK • Plasma concentrations of KER-050 • AUClast • Accumulation rate (Rac) and assessment of steady-state as possible [Time Frame: 52 Weeks];Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Timepoints indicated above.
