Kura Oncology, Kyowa Kirin provide clinical data from KOMET-007

Kura Oncology (KURA) and Kyowa Kirin provided positive updated clinical data from KOMET-007, a Phase 1a/1b trial of ziftomenib, a highly selective oral investigational menin inhibitor, in combination with standards of care in patients with newly diagnosed NPM1-mutan and KMT2A-rearrange acute myeloid leukemia. The data for the combination with cytarabine/daunorubicin (7+3) were presented as an oral presentation at the European Hematology Association 2025 Congress (EHA2025) being held in Milan, Italy from June 12-15, 2025. In the ongoing study, ziftomenib dosed once daily at 600 mg in combination with 7+3 continued to demonstrate robust and evolving clinical activity in patients with newly diagnosed AML. Among 71 response-evaluable patients, 92% achieved a composite complete remission and 80% achieved a complete remission at the time of data cutoff. A rate of CR minimal residual disease negativity of 71% for NPM1-m with a median time to MRD negativity of 4.7 weeks and a rate of CR-MRD negativity of 88% for KMT2A-r patients with a median time to MRD negativity of 4.4 weeks were observed. Ziftomenib did not delay time to neutrophil and platelet count recovery, which was comparable to intensive chemotherapy regimens.
