Ziftomenib is the second menin inhibitor for leukaemia, approved in November 2025 as a once-daily pill for relapsed NPM1-mutated AML.
KOMET-001 (n=112 relapsed/refractory NPM1-mutated AML): CR 23%, ORR 33%, median OS 6.6 months. Approved 13 November 2025 (Kura Oncology / Kyowa Kirin). KOMET-007 combines ziftomenib with 7+3 and with venetoclax-azacitidine in newly diagnosed NPM1-mutated and KMT2A-rearranged AML, with high remission rates in early cohorts; KOMET-017 phase 3 registration studies are underway. Menin inhibition also being tested in KMT2Ar ALL.
Displaces KMT2A/KMT2A-fusion complexes from menin, silencing HOXA9/MEIS1 and releasing the differentiation block in NPM1-mutant and KMT2A-rearranged blasts. Connects to Menin, NPM1 mutation and KMT2A (MLL) rearrangement.
1.Menin scaffolds KMT2A (or its fusion) onto chromatin at HOX loci
