Menin inhibitors for acute myeloid leukemia: latest updates from the 2023 ASH Annual Meeting

J Hematol Oncol. 2024 Jul 19;17(1):52. doi: 10.1186/s13045-024-01573-2.

Abstract

Recent developments in menin inhibitors for relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) were highlighted at the 2023 ASH Annual Meeting. Notably, revumenib showed promising efficacy, achieving a 100% ORR when combined with decitabine/cedazuridine and venetoclax. These findings underscore the potential of menin inhibitors in transforming AML treatment, particularly in genetically defined subgroups, offering hope for improved patient outcomes. Ongoing studies, like KOMET-008, further explore the synergistic potential of menin inhibitors in combination regimens, shaping future AML management strategies.

Keywords: Acute myeloid leukemia; Clinical trials; Menin inhibitors; Revumenib; Ziftomenib.
