  10. A fertile male participant agrees to use a condom, preferably combined with at least 1 form of acceptable contraception for any WOCBP partner(s) during the trial and for 90 days after the last dose of trial intervention.
  11. A male participant must agree not to donate sperm for the purpose of reproduction during the trial and for a minimum of 90 days after receiving the last dose of trial medication.
* Exclusion Criteria

  1. Clinically significant laboratory abnormalities at screening, including but not limited to:

     1. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR): \<15 milliliters per minute per 1.73 square meters (mL/min/1.73 m\^2) according to the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) creatinine equation 2021. Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) =142 × (serum creatinine \[Scr\] / A)\^B × 0.9938\^age × (1.012 if female), where A and B are the following: Female: Scr less than equal to (≤) 0.7, A equals to (=) 0.7, B=-0.241; Scr greater than (\>) 0.7, A=0.7, B=-1.2. Male: Scr ≤0.9, A=0.9, B=-0.302; Scr \>0.9, A=0.9, B=-1.2. Creatinine unit conversion: milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) =micromoles per liter (μmol/L)/88.4.
     2. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≥2.5×upper limit of normal (ULN).
     3. Total bilirubin \>1.5×ULN.
  2. Those who require phlebotomy at hematocrit levels \<45%.
  3. Clinically significant thrombosis (for example, deep vein thrombosis or splenic vein thrombosis) within 2 months prior to trial intervention.
  4. Active or chronic bleeding within 2 months prior to trial intervention.
  5. Those who meet the criteria for post-PV myelofibrosis as defined by the International Working Group-Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Research and Treatment.
  6. In situ or Stage 1 squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, in situ or Stage 1 basal cell carcinoma of the skin, or in situ melanoma of the skin, as determined by the dermatologic examination required at screening unless the cancer is adequately treated prior to trial intervention.
  7. Any infection requiring systemic therapy within 1 month of dosing except controlled human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Prophylactic therapies are allowed.
  8. Any serious or unstable medical condition (for example, poorly controlled HIV infection) or uncontrolled psychiatric condition that, in the judgement of the investigator, would impair the participant's ability to participate in the trial.
  9. Major surgical procedure within 2 months prior to trial intervention, unless the participant has fully recovered from the surgery; or planned major elective surgery during the trial.
  10. History of invasive malignancies within the last 5 years, except

      1. Localized cured cancer (for example, prostate cancer and cervical cancer).
      2. Localized cured in situ or Stage 1 squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, basal cell carcinoma of the skin, or in situ melanoma of the skin.
  11. Pregnant females.
  12. Those capable of breastfeeding but do not agree to forego breastfeeding from the first dose of trial intervention through 30 days after the last dose.
  13. Active alcohol or drug addiction that would interfere with their ability to comply with trial requirements.
  14. Those who do not complete at least 4 days of Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form (MFSAF) v4.0 assessments within 1 week prior to trial intervention.
  15. Receipt of an investigational agent within 2 months or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to trial intervention.
