2024 Key Accomplishments

Revumenib:

Launched Revuforj (revumenib), the first and only U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved menin inhibitor, in late November 2024. Revuforj was approved by the FDA under the Agency’s Real-Time Oncology Review (RTOR) program for the treatment of relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute leukemia with a KMT2A translocation in adult and pediatric patients one year and older.
Revumenib was added to the latest NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) as a category 2A recommendation for R/R acute leukemia with a KMT2A rearrangement.1
Announced that the primary endpoint was met in the protocol-defined efficacy population of 64 adults with R/R mNPM1 AML in the Phase 2 cohort of the AUGMENT-101 trial of revumenib.
Reported additional positive results from a post-hoc efficacy analysis of all 77 R/R mNPM1 AML patients who met the efficacy evaluable criteria in the Phase 2 cohort of AUGMENT-101.
Published data from the pivotal Phase 2 portion of the AUGMENT-101 trial of revumenib in adult and pediatric patients with R/R KMT2A-rearranged (KMT2Ar) acute leukemia in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
Presented a larger data set with longer follow-up from the pivotal Phase 2 portion of the AUGMENT-101 trial of revumenib in R/R KMT2Ar acute leukemia at the 66th American Society of Hematology (ASH) (Free ASH Whitepaper) Annual Meeting.
Presented data from multiple ongoing trials evaluating revumenib in mNPM1 and KMT2Ar acute leukemia across the treatment landscape. These trials include:
BEAT AML: A Phase 1 trial evaluating the combination of revumenib with venetoclax and azacitidine in newly diagnosed mNPM1 or KMT2Ar AML patients. The trial is being conducted as part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Beat AML Master Clinical Trial. Updated data from the trial showed an overall response rate (ORR)2 of 100% (37/37) and a composite complete remission (CRc) rate of 95% (35/37).
SAVE: A Phase 1/2 trial evaluating an all-oral combination of revumenib with venetoclax and decitabine/cedazuridine in pediatric and adult patients with R/R AML or mixed-lineage acute leukemia (MPAL) harboring either mNPM1, KMT2Ar, or NUP98r alterations. The trial is being conducted by investigators from MD Anderson Cancer Center. Updated data that showed an ORR of 82% (27/33) and a CR/CRh rate of 48% (16/33) were presented at the 66th ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) Annual Meeting.
Axatilimab:

Received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for Niktimvo (axatilimab-csfr) for the treatment of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after failure of at least two prior lines of systemic therapy in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 40 kg (88.2 lbs).
Announced axatilimab-csfr was added to the latest NCCN Guidelines as a category 2A recommendation for the treatment of GVHD after the failure of at least two prior lines of systemic therapy in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 40 kg.
Published results from the pivotal Phase 2 AGAVE-201 trial of axatilimab in adult and pediatric patients with recurrent/refractory active chronic GVHD in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Presented a secondary analysis of overall and organ-specific responses from the pivotal Phase 2 AGAVE-201 trial of axatilimab in adult and pediatric patients with recurrent/refractory active chronic GVHD who had received at least two prior lines of systemic therapy at the 66th ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) Annual Meeting.
Initiated enrollment in the MAXPIRe trial, a 26-week randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial of axatilimab on top of standard of care in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
The Company’s partner, Incyte, initiated a Phase 2, open-label, randomized, multicenter trial of axatilimab in combination with ruxolitinib in patients ≥12 years of age with newly diagnosed chronic GVHD.
The Company’s partner, Incyte, initiated a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center trial that will investigate the use of axatilimab in combination with corticosteroids as initial treatment for chronic GVHD.
Corporate:

Announced a $350 million royalty funding agreement with Royalty Pharma based on U.S. net sales of Niktimvo. Syndax expects that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, together with the $350 million from the royalty funding agreement and anticipated product revenue and interest income, will enable the company to reach profitability.
