What is the indication for Revuforj (Revumenib)?

Revumenib is a menin inhibitor that blocks the interaction between wild-type lysine methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A), KMT2A fusion proteins and menin.

What is the indication for Revuforj (Revumenib)?

In nonclinical studies using cells expressing KMT2A fusion proteins, inhibition of the menin-KMT2A interaction with revumenib altered the transcription of multiple genes, including differentiation markers. In nonclinical in vitro and in vivo studies, revumenib exhibited antiproliferative and antitumor activity in leukemia cells harboring KMT2A fusion proteins.
