Sequential Transformation of Polycythemia Vera to Myelofibrosis and KMT2A-Rearranged Acute Myeloid Leukemia Treated With Revumenib: A Rare Case of Clonal Evolution. (PubMed, Cureus)
He was initially treated with azacitidine and venetoclax but demonstrated disease progression. In the setting of a KMT2A::ELL fusion, therapy was transitioned to the menin inhibitor revumenib, resulting in short-term clinical stability and tolerability under continued supportive care.

Combined Menin and XPO1 inhibition drive synergistic antileukemic activity in KMT2A r and NPM1 -m AML. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
In this preclinical study, we demonstrate that the MI ziftomenib, in combination with the XPO1 inhibitor selinexor, synergistically inhibited the growth of multiple KMT2A- r and NPM1 -m AML cell lines (CI<1). In vivo , combination therapy improved survival in both MV4;11 and OCI-AML3 cell line and primary patient-derived KMT2A - r and NPM1 -m AML xenograft models in NSG mice, effective even at reduced drug doses. These preclinical findings demonstrate that simultaneous inhibition of the menin-KMT2A interaction and XPO1 can be a more effective translational strategy for treating KMT2A- r and NPM1 -m AML than MI monotherapy to deepen responses and delay/prevent relapses.

Targeting the Menin-KMT2A Interface: Medicinal Chemistry Rules Governing Reversible, Covalent, and Degrader Inhibitors. (PubMed, Chem Biol Drug Des)
The menin-lysine methyltransferase 2A acute leukemia (KMT2A) protein-protein interaction has emerged as a clinically validated epigenetic target in acute leukemia, following the approval of the reversible menin inhibitor Revumenib for KMT2A-rearranged and nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1)-mutant disease...Across all chemical classes, sustained target engagement-rather than equilibrium affinity alone-emerges as the dominant determinant of antileukemic efficacy. By integrating structure-activity relationship (SAR), resistance mechanisms, safety considerations, and translational scope across oncology and metabolic indications, this review provides a roadmap for the rational design of next-generation menin inhibitors and establishes menin as a model system for modern epigenetic drug discovery.
