Deep dives

Promise of Menin Inhibitors in AML Treatment

Menin inhibitors represent a promising new class of targeted therapies for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), particularly in patients with specific genetic mutations such as NPM1 and KMT2A rearrangements. Discussion highlighted the current exploration of four menin inhibitors, including Revumenin and Ziftomenin, which are being tested in patients with relapse refractory leukemia. The data presented indicated an encouraging clinical efficacy, with Revumenin showing a complete response rate of approximately 18% in heavily pretreated adults. These therapies are moving towards potential FDA approval as early as December this year, reflecting significant progress in the development of targeted treatments for AML.
