Remove objects from array that match a test against a property

I'd like to remove from an array objects that pass a test against a property'

Assume we have the following array:

[
  {
     "path": "a/b/v1-another"
  },
  {
     "path": "a/b/v1"
  }
]

I'd like to remove from the array the object that match the test a/b/* against path property
