Revumenib (Revuforj) is the first menin inhibitor (2024), for acute leukaemias with KMT2A rearrangements or NPM1 mutations.
Revumenib is a small-molecule menin inhibitor that disrupts the menin-KMT2A interaction, releasing the differentiation block that keeps KMT2A-rearranged and NPM1-mutant leukaemia cells immature. It was approved in 2024, the first menin inhibitor, for relapsed or refractory KMT2A-rearranged acute leukaemia, on AUGMENT-101 (CR/CRh about 23% in heavily pretreated patients), and in 2025 for relapsed or refractory NPM1-mutant AML. Dosing is 270 mg twice daily for patients of 40 kg or more, reduced to 160 mg with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. Differentiation syndrome and QT prolongation are the key risks. Syndax developed it and ziftomenib (Kura/Kyowa Kirin) was approved in 2025; acquired MEN1 mutations cause resistance, and front-line combinations with venetoclax and azacitidine are being tested. For a newcomer: a pill that makes leukaemia cells grow up instead of multiplying.
Disrupts menin-KMT2A interaction, releasing differentiation block. Connects to Menin.

Oral, self-administered, so it is a Part D drug: covered through a stand-alone Part D plan or Medicare Advantage drug benefit, usually on the specialty tier with 25 to 33% coinsurance until the annual cap ($2,000 in 2025, $2,100 in 2026). FDA-approved November 2024 for KMT2A-rearranged acute leukaemia; NPM1-mutant AML added 2025.
Covered for FDA-labelled and NCCN-listed uses, but almost always behind prior authorisation confirming diagnosis, biomarker and line of therapy; dispensed through a specialty pharmacy. KMT2A rearrangement or NPM1 mutation documented.
Part D out-of-pocket capped at $2,000 (2025) / $2,100 (2026). Medicare patients cannot use manufacturer co-pay cards; charity funds (PAN, HealthWell, CancerCare) and the Extra Help subsidy are the routes.
