The NDA filing is being reviewed under the
'The receipt of Priority Review for the revumenib NDA filing is a significant milestone as we transition to a leading commercial-stage oncology company with the planned launches of two first- and best-in class drugs in 2024,' said
The NDA submission is supported by positive data from the pivotal AUGMENT-101 trial of revumenib in adult and pediatric patients with KMT2Ar acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL). As previously reported, the trial met its primary endpoint at the protocol-defined interim analysis with a complete remission (CR) or a CR with partial hematological recovery (CRh) rate of 23% (13/57; 95% confidence interval [CI]: [12.7, 35.8, one-sided p-value = 0.0036]) among the 57 efficacy evaluable patients in the pooled KMT2Ar acute leukemia population. 70% of patients who achieved a CR/CRh and were assessed for minimal residual disease (MRD) were MRD negative. Additionally, 63% (36/57) of the efficacy-evaluable patients achieved an overall response, 39% (14/36) of whom underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), with 50% (7/14) restarting revumenib as post-transplant maintenance at the time of the data cutoff.
About Revumenib
Revumenib is a potent, selective, small molecule inhibitor of the menin-KMT2A binding interaction that is being developed for the treatment of KMT2A-rearranged, also known as mixed lineage leukemia rearranged or MLLr, acute leukemias including ALL and AML, and NPM1-mutant AML. Positive topline results from the Phase 2 AUGMENT-101 trial in R/R KMT2Ar acute leukemia showing the trial met its primary endpoint were presented at the 65th
About Real-Time Oncology Review (RTOR)
RTOR provides a more efficient review process for oncology drugs to ensure that safe and effective treatments are available to patients as early as possible, while improving review quality and engaging in early iterative communication with the applicant. Specifically, it allows for close engagement between the sponsor and the FDA throughout the submission process and it enables the FDA to review individual sections of modules of a drug application rather than requiring the submission of complete modules or a complete application prior to initiating review.
