Highlight

– Ziftomenib, an oral menin inhibitor, combined with venetoclax and azacitidine shows promising efficacy in relapsed/refractory NPM1-mutated AML patients.
– Composite complete remission (CRc) reached 46% overall, with higher rates in venetoclax-naïve patients (70%).
– The combination therapy was generally well tolerated with manageable adverse events including hematologic toxicities and rare differentiation syndrome.
