Kura Oncology says ‘positive' results from KOMET-001 Phase 2 trial of ziftomenib

Kura Oncology (KURA) announced the presentation of positive pivotal results from the KOMET-001 Phase 2 registration-directed trial of ziftomenib, a once-daily, oral investigational menin inhibitor, in patients with relapsed/refractory NPM1-mutant acute myeloid leukemia in an oral session at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting being held in Chicago, IL from May 30 – June 3, 2025. 'We are delighted to announce positive pivotal data from the KOMET-001 trial in R/R NPM1-mutated AML patients treated with ziftomenib,' said Troy Wilson, Ph.D., J.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Kura Oncology. 'NPM1 mutations are among the most common in AML, representing approximately 30% of cases, and there are no FDA-approved therapies specifically for this patient population. With these encouraging results and a PDUFA target action date of November 30, 2025, we and our partners at Kyowa Kirin look forward to supporting FDA with its review of the ziftomenib New Drug Application and are well-positioned to meaningfully impact relapsed or refractory patients with NPM1 mutations.' The KOMET-001 Phase 2 population included 92 adult patients with R/R NPM1-m AML. The median age was 69. Patients were heavily pretreated, with 33% having received three or more prior lines of therapy (median prior lines: 2) and 59% having been previously treated with venetoclax. A complete remission plus CR with partial hematological recovery rate of 23% was observed among patients with R/R NPM1-m AML in the Phase 2 portion of the KOMET-001 trial. Among those 21 patients who achieved CR/CRh, 13 had a CR and 8 had a CRh. The median duration of CR/CRh responses was 3.7 months and the restricted mean duration of response was 4.3 months at the time of the data cutoff. MRD status was assessed in 19 of 21 patients who achieved CR/CRh, and 63% of these patients were MRD-negative. Comparable CR/CRh rates were observed across pre-specified subgroups, regardless of prior HSCT, prior venetoclax or FLT3/IDH co-mutations. Additional patient benefit beyond CR/CRh was observed with a rate of transfusion conversion of 21% and a rate of maintenance of transfusion independence of 20%. A median OS of 16.4 months was observed for responders and a median overall survival of 3.5 months was observed among non-responders. The safety population included 112 adult patients with R/R NPM1-m AML from the pooled Phase 1b and Phase 2 portions of the KOMET-001 trial. The safety profile observed with ziftomenib in this population was consistent with previously reported data. Treatment-related adverse events led to treatment discontinuations in 3% of patients. TRAEs of Grade greater than or equal to3 which occurred in more than 10% of patients were limited to differentiation syndrome, which was well managed by protocol-specified mitigation strategies and no Grade 4/5 treatment-related DS was observed. Although QTc prolongation was reported in three patients per investigator assessment, all three patients were on concomitant medications associated with QTc prolongation, two had electrolyte abnormalities and one had a prior diagnosis of atrial fibrillation.

– CR/CRh rate of 23% in pivotal Ph 2 cohort of R/R NPM1-m AML patients – – Consistent efficacy with comparable CR/CRh rates and clinically meaningful MRD-negative responses across pre-specified subgroups, regardless of prior HSCT, prior venetoclax, or FLT3/IDH co-mutations – – Favorable safety and tolerability profile in heavily pre-treated patients: limited myelosuppression; no clinically meaningful QTc prolongation; 3% of patients discontinued due to treatment-related adverse events – – Potential first approval of a once-daily, oral menin inhibitor for treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory NPM1-mutated AML with Priority Review and a PDUFA target action date of November 30, 2025 – – Kura Oncology to host virtual investor event today at 7:30pm ET / 4:30pm PT – SAN DIEGO and TOKYO, June 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kura Oncology, Inc. (Nasdaq: KURA, 'Kura') and Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd. (TSE: 4151, 'Kyowa Kirin') announced the presentation of positive pivotal results from the KOMET-001 Phase 2 registration-directed trial of ziftomenib, a once-daily, oral investigational menin inhibitor, in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) NPM1-mutant (NPM1-m) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in an oral session today at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting being held in Chicago, IL from May 30 - June 3, 2025. "We are delighted to announce positive pivotal data from the KOMET-001 trial in R/R NPM1-mutated AML patients treated with ziftomenib," said Troy Wilson, Ph.D., J.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Kura Oncology. "NPM1 mutations are among the most common in AML, representing approximately 30% of cases, and there are no FDA-approved therapies specifically for this patient population. With these encouraging results and a PDUFA target action date of November 30, 2025, we and our partners at Kyowa Kirin look forward to supporting FDA with its review of the ziftomenib New Drug Application (NDA) and are well-positioned to meaningfully impact relapsed or refractory patients with NPM1 mutations.' "Relapsed or refractory NPM1-mutated AML is a highly challenging disease with a poor prognosis and an urgent need for new treatments," said Eunice Wang, M.D., Chief of Leukemia Service, Professor of Oncology, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, Buffalo, NY. "The promising results for ziftomenib in this heavily pretreated population are highly encouraging. Notably, the clinically meaningful minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative responses observed as well as the similar response rates seen regardless of prior therapies, including hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and venetoclax, hold great promise for the potential use of ziftomenib in patients with relapsed and refractory NPM1-mutated AML.' The KOMET-001 Phase 2 population included 92 adult patients with R/R NPM1-m AML. The median age was 69 (range: 33 to 84). Patients were heavily pretreated, with 33% having received three or more prior lines of therapy (median prior lines: 2) and 59% having been previously treated with venetoclax. A complete remission (CR) plus CR with partial hematological recovery (CRh) rate of 23% (21/92) was observed among patients with R/R NPM1-m AML in the Phase 2 portion of the KOMET-001 trial. Among those 21 patients who achieved CR/CRh, 13 had a CR and 8 had a CRh. The median duration of CR/CRh responses was 3.7 months (95% CI: 1.9, not estimable (NE)) and the restricted mean duration of response was 4.3 months (95% CI: 3.1, 5.6) at the time of the data cutoff. MRD status was assessed in 19 of 21 patients who achieved CR/CRh, and 63% (12/19) of these patients were MRD-negative. Comparable CR/CRh rates were observed across pre-specified subgroups, regardless of prior HSCT, prior venetoclax or FLT3/IDH co-mutations. Additional patient benefit beyond CR/CRh was observed with a rate of transfusion conversion of 21% (17/82; 95% CI: 13-31) and a rate of maintenance of transfusion independence of 20% (2/10; 95% CI: 3-56). A median OS of 16.4 months (95% CI, 9.6–20.4) was observed for responders (patients who achieved CR, CRh, CRi/CRp, MLFS or PR) and a median overall survival (OS) of 3.5 months (95% CI, 2.5–4.0) was observed among non-responders. The safety population included 112 adult patients with R/R NPM1-m AML from the pooled Phase 1b and Phase 2 portions of the KOMET-001 trial. The safety profile observed with ziftomenib in this population was consistent with previously reported data. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) led to treatment discontinuations in 3% of patients. TRAEs of Grade ≥3 which occurred in more than 10% of patients were limited to differentiation syndrome (DS, 13%), which was well managed by protocol-specified mitigation strategies and no Grade 4/5 treatment-related DS was observed. Although QTc prolongation (1 Gr2; 2 Gr3) was reported in three patients per investigator assessment, all three patients were on concomitant medications associated with QTc prolongation, two had electrolyte abnormalities and one had a prior diagnosis of atrial fibrillation. 'Beyond ziftomenib's clinical activity, we are highly encouraged by its consistent safety and tolerability profile,' said Mollie Leoni, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Kura Oncology. 'Notably, the low rate of myelosuppression, low discontinuation rate, lack of clinically significant QTc prolongation, absence of drug-drug interactions, and effective management of differentiation syndrome underscore ziftomenib's potentially favorable benefit-risk profile for patients with relapsed or refractory NPM1-mutated AML.' 'The data presented at ASCO strengthen our conviction that ziftomenib has potential to become a meaningful treatment option for patients with relapsed or refractory AML with NPM1 mutations — patients who often face limited treatment options and significant uncertainty regarding their prognosis,' said Takeyoshi Yamashita, Ph.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Kyowa Kirin. 'Encouraged by the favorable safety, tolerability, and promising clinical activity observed thus far, Kyowa Kirin, in collaboration with Kura, is working with urgency and purpose to bring ziftomenib monotherapy to patients as swiftly and responsibly as possible.' Virtual Investor Event Kura will host a virtual investor event featuring company management and investigators from the KOMET-001 trial of ziftomenib in R/R NPM1-m AML at 7:30pm ET / 4:30pm PT on Monday, June 2, 2025.

Kura Oncology and Kyowa Kirin Announce FDA Acceptance and Priority Review of New Drug Application for Ziftomenib in Adults with Relapsed or Refractory NPM1-Mutant AML

– New Drug Application based on positive results from the Phase 2 KOMET-001 trial – – FDA assigns a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of November 30, 2025 – – Potential first approval of a menin inhibitor for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory AML with an NPM1 mutation – SAN DIEGO and TOKYO, June 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kura Oncology, Inc. (Nasdaq: KURA, 'Kura') and Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd. (TSE: 4151, 'Kyowa Kirin') today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted Kura's New Drug Application (NDA) seeking full approval for ziftomenib as a treatment for adult patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) mutation. The application has been granted Priority Review and assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of November 30, 2025. 'The FDA's acceptance of our New Drug Application marks a significant milestone for Kura and Kyowa Kirin and, more importantly, for patients living with this genetic subset of AML, who face an aggressive form of the disease with few treatment options,' said Troy Wilson, Ph.D., J.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Kura Oncology.

Along with our partners at Kyowa Kirin, we look forward to continuing to work closely with the FDA throughout the review process and to prepare for the anticipated launch of this treatment, which holds potential to meaningfully impact the lives of patients and their families.' The NDA is based on results from the Phase 2 KOMET-001 registrational trial in R/R NPM1-mutant (NPM1-m) AML (NCT #04067336). The KOMET-001 trial achieved its primary endpoint of complete remission (CR) plus CR with partial hematological recovery (CRh) and the primary endpoint was statistically significant. Ziftomenib was well‑tolerated with limited myelosuppression and 3% ziftomenib-related discontinuations. The safety and tolerability of ziftomenib were consistent with previous reports, and the benefit-risk profile for ziftomenib is highly encouraging. 'Adult R/R NPM1-m AML patients face a significantly poor prognosis, highlighting the urgent need for innovative treatment options that can improve their outcomes,' said Takeyoshi Yamashita, Ph.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Kyowa Kirin. 'The acceptance of this NDA is a crucial step in our ongoing efforts to explore and evaluate various therapeutic strategies for AML through our comprehensive clinical trials. Our dedicated teams at Kyowa Kirin and Kura are fully committed to working tirelessly to ensure that, once approved, ziftomenib is made available to AML patients as quickly as possible. We recognize the importance of this endeavor and are excited about the possibility of making a meaningful impact on the lives of those affected by this challenging disease.' The KOMET-001 registration-directed trial is designed to assess evidence of clinical activity, safety and tolerability of ziftomenib, the only investigational therapy to receive Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) from the FDA for treatment of R/R NPM1-mutant AML. In addition to BTD, ziftomenib has received Fast Track and Orphan Drug Designations. The full data analyses from the KOMET-001 trial of ziftomenib in R/R NPM1-m AML patients have been selected for oral presentation on Monday, June 2nd at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, and an encore presentation is planned at the 2025 European Hematology Association (EHA) Congress. About -Mutant AML AML is the most common acute leukemia in adults and begins when the bone marrow makes abnormal myeloblasts (white blood cells), red blood cells or platelets. Despite the many available treatments for AML, prognosis for patients remains poor and a high unmet need remains. The menin pathway is considered a driver for multiple genetic alterations of the disease, of which NPM1 mutations are among the most common, representing approximately 30% of AML cases. While patients with NPM1-m AML have high response rates to frontline therapy, relapse rates are high and survival outcomes are poor, with only 30% overall survival at 12 months in the R/R setting. Additionally, NPM1 mutations frequently occur with co-mutations in other disease-associated genes, including FLT3, DNMT3A, and IDH1/2, with prognosis heavily influenced by the presence of such co-occurring mutations. Adult patients with NPM1-m AML and select co-mutations and/or R/R disease have a poor prognosis, with median overall survival of only approximately 7.8 months in 2nd line, 5.3 months in 3rd line, and 3.5 months following the 4th line1. There are currently no FDA-approved therapies targeting NPM1-m AML. About Ziftomenib Ziftomenib is a potent and selective, oral, investigational menin inhibitor currently in development for the treatment of genetically defined AML patients with high unmet need. In April 2024, ziftomenib received BTD from the FDA for the treatment of adult patients with R/R AML with an NPM1 mutation based on data from Kura's KOMET-001 clinical trial.
