Menin inhibitors as targeted therapy in KMT2A-Rearranged acute leukemia: A comprehensive review of current advances and therapeutic implications. (PubMed, Med Oncol)
Among them, revumenib and ziftomenib have advanced furthest in clinical testing. Ongoing trials are now evaluating menin inhibitors in rational combinations, frontline regimens, and maintenance therapy. Collectively, these advances highlight menin inhibition as a transformative strategy in acute leukemia, reshaping therapy through precision-targeted epigenetic intervention.

A phase 1/2 study of DS-1594 menin inhibitor in relapsed/refractory acute leukemias. (PubMed, J Hematol Oncol)
Pharmacokinetic analysis showed DS-1594b reached maximum concentration approximately in 2 h with total exposure increasing with escalating doses and reached stead-state by Cycle 1 Day 8. DS-1594b showed limited efficacy at the doses tested but appeared safe with a lead-in dosing approach.

Menin inhibition impairs metastatic colonization of Ewing sarcoma. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Exposing EwS cells to the Menin inhibitor VTP50469 (revumenib) inhibited expression of MYC targets and co-immunoprecipitation studies detected Menin:MYC interactions that were partially disrupted by the drug. Metastatic colonization of disseminated EwS cells in vivo was significantly inhibited in mice fed VTP50469 chow. Together these findings implicate Menin as a mediator of EwS metastasis and suggest that Menin inhibitors warrant investigation as novel therapeutics for patients with high-risk disease.

ZMYND11 Restrains KMT2A to Enable a Neuronal Developmental Program. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Using a degron-tagged ZMYND11 mouse model to enable the rapid degradation of ZMYND11 in primary cortical neurons, we show that gene expression changes induced by ZMYND11 loss are attenuated by treatment with the KMT2A inhibitor revumenib, a drug which has recently been approved for the treatment of KMT2A-rearranged leukemia. Our findings shed light on the convergence of chromatin mechanisms regulating neuronal gene expression and raise the possibility that modulation of KMT2A activity may be a useful therapeutic avenue for ZRSID.

Histone methyltransferase KMT2D targets the SPOP-G3BP1 axis to enhance AR stability and drive castration-resistant prostate cancer progression. (PubMed, Mol Biomed)
Furthermore, we explored a novel combination therapy involving the histone methyltransferase inhibitor MI-503 and enzalutamide in AR-positive and AR splice variant-positive cell lines. Our results confirmed the synergistic therapeutic effects of this combination, which can continue to inhibit the AR signaling pathway during the CRPC stage, thereby delaying disease progression. Taken together, our findings elucidate a critical KMT2D/G3BP1/SPOP/AR regulatory axis in prostate cancer progression and propose that targeted inhibition of histone methylation in combination with anti-androgen therapy represents a promising strategy for the management of advanced prostate cancer.
