Drug Information
Mechanism of Action
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. In nonclinical studies using cells that express KMT2A fusions, inhibition of the menin-KMT2A interaction with revumenib altered the transcription of multiple genes including differentiation markers. In nonclinical in vitro and in vivo studies, revumenib demonstrated antiproliferative and antitumor activity in leukemia cells harboring KMT2A fusion proteins. Revumenib also showed antiproliferative activity in vitro in leukemia cells with an NPM1 mutation.
Indications & Uses
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. ( 1 ) Relapsed or Refractory Acute Leukemia REVUFORJ is 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. REVUFORJ is indicated for the treatment of relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia with a susceptible nucleophosmin 1 ( NPM1 ) mutation [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) , and Clinical Studies (14.1) ] in adult and pediatric patients 1 year and older who have no satisfactory alternative treatment options.
Dosage & Administration
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Select patients for treatment with REVUFORJ based on the presence of a KMT2A translocation or an NPM1 mutation. ( 2.1 ) Administer REVUFORJ orally twice daily fasted or with a low-fat meal at approximately the same time each day. ( 2.2 ) See Full Prescribing Information for recommended REVUFORJ dosage regimen, dosage modifications, and administration instructions. ( 2.2 , 2.3 ) 2.1 Patient Selection Relapsed or Refractory Acute Leukemia with a KMT2A Translocation Select patients for treatment with REVUFORJ based on the presence of a KMT2A translocation [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . Information on FDA authorized tests for the detection of a KMT2A translocation to determine eligibility for treatment is available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/denovo.cfm?id=DEN240067 Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia with an NPM1 mutation Select patients for treatment with REVUFORJ based on the presence of an NPM1 mutation [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1 ) and Clinical Studies (14.2) ] . An FDA-approved companion diagnostic for the detection of an NPM1 mutation is not currently available. 2.2 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of REVUFORJ varies by patient weight and concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. See Table 1 for the recommended dosage for patients 1 year and older. Do not start REVUFORJ until the WBC is reduced to less than 25 Gi/L. Continue REVUFORJ until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. For patients without disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, treat for a minimum of 6 months to allow time for clinical response. Table 1.

Drug Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Reduce the REVUFORJ dose. ( 2.2 , 7.1 ) Strong or moderate CYP3A4 Inducers: Avoid concomitant use with REVUFORJ. ( 7.1 ) QTc Prolonging Drugs: Avoid concomitant use with REVUFORJ. If concomitant use is unavoidable, monitor patients more frequently for QTc interval prolongation. ( 5.2 , 7.1 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on REVUFORJ Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors If concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors is required, reduce the REVUFORJ dosage [see Recommended Dosage (2.2) ] . Revumenib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Concomitant use with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor increases revumenib systemic exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology(12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of REVUFORJ adverse reactions. Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers Avoid concomitant use with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers. Revumenib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducer may decrease revumenib and increase M1 systemic exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may reduce REVUFORJ efficacy or increase the risk of QT prolongation associated with the M1 metabolite. Drugs that Prolong QTc Interval Avoid concomitant use of REVUFORJ with other drugs with a known potential to prolong QTc interval. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, obtain ECGs when initiating, during concomitant use, and as clinically indicated [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . Withhold REVUFORJ if the QTc interval is greater than 480 msec. Restart REVUFORJ after the QTc interval returns to less than or equal to 480 msec [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . REVUFORJ causes QTc interval prolongation [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . Concomitant use of REVUFORJ with other drugs that prolong QTc interval may result in an increase in the QTc interval and adverse reactions associated with QTc interval prolongation [see Warnings and Precautions(5.2) ].
