Revumenib

Brand Names: Revuforj

Drug Class: General Prescription

Overview

11 DESCRIPTION REVUFORJ contains revumenib, a menin inhibitor. Revumenib is present as revumenib citrate hydrate with a chemical name of benzamide, N -ethyl-2-[[4-[7-[[trans-4- [(ethylsulfonyl)amino]cyclohexyl]methyl]-2,7-diazaspiro[3.5]non-2-yl]-5-pyrimidinyl]oxy]-5-fluoro- N -[1- methylethyl]-, 2-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid, hydrate (1:1:1).

Mechanism of Action

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Revumenib is a menin inhibitor that blocks the interaction of both wild-type lysine methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A) and KMT2A fusion proteins with menin. The binding of wild-type KMT2A or KMT2A fusion proteins with menin is involved in NPM1 mutated acute myeloid leukemias and KMT2A - rearranged acute leukemias, respectively, through activation of a leukemogenic transcriptional pathway. Susceptible NPM1 mutations are defined as those that result in loss of the nucleolar localization signal and the insertion of a new nuclear export signal leading to the accumulation of mutant NPM1 in the cytoplasm of AML cells. The most common of such NPM1 mutations in patients with AML are Types A, B, and D.

Indications

  • 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE REVUFORJ is a menin inhibitor indicated for: the treatment of relapsed or refractory acute leukemia with a lysine methyltransferase 2A gene ( KMT2A ) translocation as determined by an FDA-authorized test in adult and pediatric patients 1 year and older. ( 1 ) the treatment of relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a susceptible nucleophosmin 1 ( NPM1 ) mutation in adult and pediatric patients 1 year and older who have no satisfactory alternative treatment options.

Black Box Warning

WARNING: DIFFERENTIATION SYNDROME, QTc PROLONGATION and TORSADES DE POINTES Differentiation syndrome, which can be fatal, has occurred with REVUFORJ. Signs and symptoms may include fever, dyspnea, hypoxia, pulmonary infiltrates, pleural or pericardial effusions, rapid weight gain or peripheral edema, hypotension, and renal dysfunction. If differentiation syndrome is suspected, immediately initiate corticosteroid therapy and hemodynamic monitoring until symptom resolution.
