The main aim of this study is to learn how safe elritercept is and how well it is tolerated when taken alone and in combination with the JAK inhibitor, ruxolitinib. Other aims are to learn about the effects of elritercept on the signs and symptoms of MF when taken with or without ruxolitinib and to learn how elritercept affects the body, how the body processes elritercept, and the effects of elritercept on anemia when taken with or without ruxolitinib The study will also check on how safe elritercept is and how well it is tolerated.
Elritercept is an investigational therapeutic protein designed to increase red blood cell and platelet production by inhibiting the signaling of a subset of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-ß) family of proteins to promote hematopoiesis. It is being developed for the treatment of low blood cell counts, or cytopenias including anemia and thrombocytopenia in participants with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and Myelofibrosis (MF).

Part 1: Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs), Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs), Severe Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
AE:any untoward medical occurrence (MO) in clinical study participant administered medicinal product not necessarily having causal relationship with treatment.Severe AE medically significant AE but not immediately life-threatening;may result in hospitalization/ prolonged hospital stay;disability.SAE:any untoward MO that,at any dose results in death,is life-threatening,requires in-patient hospitalization/ prolongation of existing hospitalization,results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity,is congenital anomaly/birth defect,is medically important event.DLT: any following safety events-death,Grade 4 neutropenia/ thrombocytopenia \>7 days,Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding,Neutropenic fever,assessments meeting Hy's law,Grade ≥3 nonhematologic treatment-emergent adverse events(TEAEs),elevated hemoglobin(Hgb)/ platelet count requiring dose modification, other safety event considered by Safety Review Committee(SRC) to be significant to warrant categorization as DLT.
Time frame: From signing of the informed consent form (ICF) through 30 days after the last dose of study drug (approximately 8 years)
Part 2 and Long-Term Extension: Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs), Severe AEs and SAEs
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal product that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Severe AE is defined as an AE which is medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; may result in hospitalization or prolonged hospital stay; disabling. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: results in death, is life-threatening, requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is a medically important event.
Time frame: From signing of the ICF through 30 days after the last dose of study drug, (approximately 8 years)

Percentage of Participants with Red Blood Cell (RBC) Transfusion Independence Over a Period of ≥12 Consecutive Weeks
Participants with anemia requiring RBC transfusions will be assessed for this outcome measure.
Time frame: Up to Week 24
Percentage of Participants with RBC Transfusions From Baseline Over a Period of ≥12 Consecutive Weeks
Participants with anemia requiring RBC transfusions will be assessed for this outcome measure and percentage of participants with ≥50% decrease in number of RBC transfusions will be represented.
Time frame: Up to Week 24
Percentage of Participants with Mean Haemoglobin (Hgb) Increase From Baseline Over a Period of ≥12 Consecutive Weeks
Participants with transfusion-independence will be assessed for this outcome measure for mean Hgb ≥1.5 grams per deciliter (g/dL) and ≥2.0 g/dL.
Time frame: Up to Week 24
Percentage of Participants with Improvement in the Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form Version 4.0 Total Symptom Score (MF-SAF(v4.0)-TSS) From Baseline at Week 24
Percentage of participants with MF-SAF(v4.0)-TSS of ≥50% will be presented for this assessment. MF-SAF v4.0 captures participant self-report of 7 core MF symptoms (this includes fatigue, night sweats, itching, abdominal discomfort, pain under ribs on left side, early satiety, and bone pain) over the past 7 days. Response options range from 0 (absent) to 10 (worst imaginable). The TSS is computed by averaging the individual item responses and multiplying by 7 for a weekly total score ranging from 0 to 70. Higher scores represent higher symptom burden.
Time frame: Week 24
Percentage of Participants with Decrease in Spleen Volume From Baseline as Measured by Computed Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CT/MRI) at Week 24
Percentage of participants with decrease in spleen volume of ≥35% will be presented for this outcome measure.
Time frame: Week 24
