Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Dose Escalation

Participants with essential thrombocythemia (ET) and myelofibrosis (MF) will receive VAC85135 target dose intramuscular (IM) injection in the safety lead-in cohort (Cohort 0). Participants in subsequent cohorts will receive VAC85135 target dose IM injection along with ipilimumab intravenous (IV) infusion. Ipilimumab dose may be escalated based on dose limiting toxicity (DLT) observations.

Biological: VAC85135
Participants will receive VAC85135 as IM injection.

Drug: Ipilimumab
Participants will receive Ipilimumab as IV infusion.

Experimental: Dose Expansion

Participants with polycythemia vera (PV) or post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis, ET and MF will receive VAC85135 target dose IM injection with ipilimumab IV infusion at the dose(s) determined by study evaluation team (SET).

Biological: VAC85135
Participants will receive VAC85135 as IM injection.

Drug: Ipilimumab
Participants will receive Ipilimumab as IV infusion.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT) [Baseline (Day 1) up to Day 78]

    Number of participants with a DLT will be reported. The DLTs are specific adverse events and are defined as any of the following: high grade non-hematologic toxicity, or hematologic toxicity. Toxicities will be graded for severity according to the National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) Version 5.0.

  2. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [Up to 76 weeks]

    Number of participants with AEs will be reported. An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a pharmaceutical product. AEs will be graded as Grade 1: Mild- asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated; Grade 2: Moderate- minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting age-appropriate instrumental activities of daily living (ADL); Grade 3: Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self-care activities of daily living; Grade 4- Life-threatening consequences- urgent intervention indicated; Grade 5: Death related to AE.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Participants With Antigen-specific T-cell response [Up to end of treatment (EOT) (Up to 64 weeks)]

    Number of participants with antigen-specific T-cell response will be reported.

  2. Number of Participants With Overall Response per Revised Response Criteria by the International Working Group-Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Research and Treatment (IWG-MRT) and European LeukemiaNet (ELN) Consensus Report [Up to 76 weeks]

    Overall response will be measured by complete remission, partial remission, clinical improvement, anemia response, spleen response, symptoms response, progressive disease, stable disease and relapse as per the revised IWG-MRT and ELN response criteria for myelofibrosis (MF).

  3. Number of Participants Disease Response at Weeks 24, 48 and End of Treatment (EOT) per Modified IWG-MRT Criteria [Weeks 24, 48 and EOT (64 weeks)]

    Number of participants with disease response as per the modified IWG-MRT criteria will be reported.

  4. Number of Participants With Peripheral Blood Mutant Calreticulin (mutCALR) and Janus Kinase 2 With V617F Mutation (JAK2V617F) Allele Burden [Up to end of treatment (EOT) (Up to 64 weeks)]

    Number of participants with peripheral blood mutCALR and JAK2V617F allele burden will be reported.

  5. Number of Participants With Transfusion Burden [Up to end of treatment (EOT) (Up to 64 weeks)]

    Number of participants with transfusion burden will be reported.

  6. Number of Participants With Patient-reported Symptoms on Therapy [Up to end of treatment (EOT) (Up to 64 weeks)]

    Number of participants with patient-reported symptoms on therapy will be reported.

  7. Time to Progression of Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs) [Up to end of treatment (EOT) (Up to 64 weeks)]

    Time to progression of MPNs (polycythemiavera [PV], essential thrombocythemia [ET], and primary myelofibrosis [PMF]) will be reported.

  8. Time to Initiation of Next Therapy [Up to 76 weeks]

    Time to initiation of next therapy for myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) will be reported.
