Official title: A Phase 1/2, Open-label, Dose-Escalation and Dose-Expansion Cohort Study of SNDX-5613 in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Leukemias, Including Those Harboring an MLL/KMT2A Gene Rearrangement or Nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) Mutation

Run by Syndax Pharmaceuticals · NCT04065399 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing a new drug called revumenib to see if it can help people with certain types of relapsed or hard-to-treat leukemias that have specific genetic changes.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include individuals with active acute leukemia and specific genetic mutations or rearrangements.

Probably not a fit

Patients without active disease or those not harboring the targeted genetic mutations may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of revumenib in patients with relapsed or refractory leukemias, particularly those with MLL/KMT2A gene rearrangements or NPM1 mutations. The study consists of a Phase 1 dose escalation to determine the maximum tolerated dose and a Phase 2 expansion to assess the drug's effectiveness and safety across specific leukemia subtypes. Participants will be assigned to different arms based on their concurrent medications and genetic profiles. The trial aims to provide a targeted treatment approach for acute leukemias.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could offer a new therapeutic option for patients with difficult-to-treat leukemias.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with targeted therapies in leukemia, suggesting potential for success with this approach.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

Participants must have active acute leukemia (bone marrow blasts ≥5% or reappearance of blasts in peripheral blood) as defined by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) in the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Version 1.2020) and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (Version 3.2020), or acute leukemia harboring KMT2A rearrangement, NUP98 rearrangement, or NPM1 mutation that have detectable disease in the bone marrow.
