U.S. FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation Granted for Revumenib for the Treatment of Patients with R/R KMT2A- Rearranged (MLLr) Acute Leukemia
“The Breakthrough Therapy Designation underscores revumenib’s potential as a first- and best-in-class therapy to meaningfully change the treatment paradigm for patients with R/R KMT2Ar acute leukemia, whether it presents clinically as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), in adults or children,” said Michael A. Metzger, Chief Executive Officer. “Revumenib has the potential, if approved, to be the first drug to address the significant unmet need in KMT2Ar leukemia believed to occur in up to 10% of all acute leukemias, including in approximately 80% of infant acute leukemias. Syndax is committed to bringing revumenib to these patients as quickly as possible and we look forward to working collaboratively with the FDA to expedite a potential approval of revumenib.”
