Breakthrough Therapy Designation for Ziftomenib in NPM1-Mutant AML
“We are highly encouraged by FDA’s decision to grant Breakthrough Therapy Designation to ziftomenib, recognizing its potential as an innovative medicine for patients with relapsed/refractory NPM1-mutant AML,” said Troy Wilson, Ph.D., J.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Kura Oncology. “NPM1-mutant AML represents approximately 30% of new AML cases annually, and this designation reflects that NPM1-mutant AML is a disease of significant unmet need for which there is no approved targeted therapy as well as the fact that ziftomenib offers potential to demonstrate substantial improvement over available therapies. We remain committed to bringing ziftomenib to the market as quickly as possible and look forward to working more closely with FDA to bring our ziftomenib program to patients in urgent need of effective treatments.”
