Cohorts 1 and 2 will undergo dose finding and dose expansion. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to an open cohort, either Cohort 1 or Cohort 2. Cohort 3 will be conducted as a dose expansion, independent of Cohorts 1 and 2.
Cohort 1 will follow a 3+3 dose escalation design to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/maximum administered dose (MAD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of TL-895 administered QD in combination with KRT-232. A Safety Review Committee (SRC) will review the safety data during the dose escalation to decide on dose escalation and/or exploration of intermediate doses.
Cohort 2 will follow a 3+3 dose escalation design to determine the MTD/MAD and recommended RP2D of TL-895 administered BID in combination with KRT-232. An SRC will review the safety data during the dose escalation to decide on dose escalation and/or exploration of intermediate doses.
Cohort 3 will be conducted a 2-stage design. In stage 1, enrollment will continue until 15 evaluable patients have been enrolled. An SRC will review the data during the study and if there are ≥4 responders based on the futility criteria and safety data from Stage 1, Cohort 3 expansion will commence. If there are ≤3 patients responding to therapy, Cohort 3 will be terminated. Once expansion criteria have been met, Cohort 3 will be expanded to a total of 46 evaluable patients for Stage 2 analyses.

- Phase 1b - The MTD/MAD and RP2D of TL-895 in combination with KRT-232 in patients with R/R MF (Cohort 1 and Cohort 2) [ Time Frame: 56 Days ]DLTs will be used to establish the MTD. RP2D will be determined by the SRC based on safety data from the combination of TL-895 and KRT-232.
- Phase 2 - Spleen response rate for each cohort [ Time Frame: 24 Weeks ]A reduction in spleen volume as assessed by MRI (or CT) ≥ 35% from baseline at Week 24
- Total Symptom Score (TSS) [ Time Frame: 24 Weeks ]The change in TSS based Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form version 4.0 (MFSAF v4.0)
