"The data being presented this year at ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) demonstrate Syndax’s commitment to develop revumenib as a practice-changing therapy for adult and pediatric patients with acute leukemias," said Neil Gallagher, M.D., Ph.D., President, Head of Research and Development at Syndax. "We look forward to presenting these data and continuing to rapidly advance the development of revumenib for adult and pediatric acute leukemia patients who may respond to menin inhibition, such as patients with KMT2Ar or mNPM1 alterations."

The FDA has granted Priority Review for the New Drug Application (NDA) for revumenib for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) KMT2A-rearranged (KMT2Ar) acute leukemia. The NDA is being reviewed under the FDA’s Real-Time Oncology Review Program (RTOR) and has a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of December 26, 2024.

In March 2024, the Company announced the completion of enrollment in the final AUGMENT-101 pivotal trial cohort in patients with R/R mutant nucleophosmin (mNPM1) acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Topline data is expected in the fourth quarter of 2024 and could support a supplemental NDA filing for revumenib in R/R mNPM1 AML in the first half of 2025.

The Company will host an in-person investor event, along with a live webcast, to discuss the latest data supporting the Company’s pipeline on Monday, December 9, 2024 at 7:00 a.m. PT/ 10:00 a.m. ET during the ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) Annual Meeting.

Overview of Abstracts Accepted for Presentation at 66th ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) Annual Meeting

New Data from Phase 2 Portion of the AUGMENT-101 Trial of Revumenib in R/R KMT2Ar Acute Leukemia

Syndax previously presented positive data from the protocol-defined interim analysis of the pivotal Phase 2 portion of the AUGMENT-101 trial of revumenib in adult and pediatric patients with R/R KMT2Ar AML and acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL). The trial met its primary endpoint at the protocol-defined interim analysis with a complete remission (CR) or a CR with partial hematological recovery (CRh) rate of 23% (13/57; 95% CI: 12.7-35.8; one-sided p-value = 0.0036) among the 57 efficacy evaluable patients in the KMT2Ar cohort as of the July 2023 data cutoff (DCO) date.

This updated analysis (DCO: February 2024) includes 116 patients in the Phase 2 safety population (an increase of 22 patients who were enrolled and treated with revumenib after the previous July 2023 DCO), and 97 patients in the Phase 2 efficacy population (an increase of 40 patients who were newly enrolled or who reached sufficient follow-up after the previous July 2023 DCO).

Within this larger efficacy population of patients with R/R KTM2Ar acute leukemia from the Phase 2 portion of the AUGMENT-101 trial (n=97), 23% (22/97) of patients achieved CR/CRh (95% CI: 15%-32%). The CRc rate was 42% (95% CI: 32%-53%) and the ORR was 64% (95% CI: 54%-73%). Among patients with measurable residual disease (MRD) results available, 61% (11/18) of CR/CRh responders and 58% (21/36) of CRc responders achieved MRD negativity. Of the 62 patients who achieved ORR, 34% (21/62) proceeded to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Nine patients resumed revumenib post-HSCT.

The median duration of response among the 22 CR/CRh responders was 6.4 months (95% CI: 1.9 mo-NR). Of note, among the 13 CR/CRh responders from the interim analysis, the median duration of CR/CRh extended to 13.0 months (95% CI: 3.4 mo–NR) after seven additional months of follow-up (DCO: February 2024). Five of these patients remained in follow-up with no relapse or death as of the data cutoff.

Within the larger safety population of patients with R/R KTM2Ar acute leukemia from the Phase 2 portion of the AUGMENT-101 trial (n=116), revumenib was generally well tolerated and the safety profile was consistent with the Company’s previously reported data. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) leading to treatment discontinuation were low at 14% (16/116) and 5% (6/116), respectively. The most common Grade ≥3 TEAEs were consistent with previously reported data. Grade 3 treatment-emergent differentiation syndrome (DS) was observed in 14% (16/116) of patients and one patient (1%) experienced a Grade 4 DS. Grade 3 treatment-emergent QTc prolongation was observed in 13% (15/116) of patients, with no Grade 4 or Grade 5 events.

New Results from Phase 1/2 SAVE Trial of Revumenib in Combination with Venetoclax and Decitabine/Cedazuridine in R/R AML

The Phase 1/2 SAVE trial is an investigator-sponsored trial testing an all-oral regimen of revumenib, venetoclax and the hypomethylating agent (HMA) ASTX727 (decitabine/cedazuridine) in children and adults with R/R AML or mixed-lineage acute leukemia (MPAL) harboring either KMT2Ar, NUP98r or mNPM1 alterations.

As of the latest data cutoff (July 2024), 26 patients were enrolled in the trial. The median age was 35 years (range: 12-79). At baseline, 11 patients (42%) had KMT2Ar, 10 patients (38%) had mNPM1, and five patients (20%) had NUP98r. The median prior lines of therapy was three (range: 1-5); 17 patients (65%) had prior venetoclax, 11 (42%) had prior HSCT, and two had received a prior menin inhibitor.

The all-oral combination resulted in high rates of remission in patients with R/R KMT2Ar, mNPM1, or NUP98r AML. The ORR was 88% (23/26), with a CR/CRh rate of 58% (15/26). MRD status was available in 14 of the 15 patients who achieved a CR/CRh, 93% (13/14) of whom were MRD negative. In patients with MRD status available who achieved a response, 74% (17/23) were MRD negative. Twelve patients (46%) received HSCT following this combination, with three patients resuming revumenib post-HSCT.

With a median follow-up of 6.6 months, the 6-month relapse-free survival was 59% (95% CI: 26%-81%) and overall survival was 74% (95% CI: 39%-83%). The median duration of response in those with CR/CRh was not reached. Two patients had completed maintenance post-HSCT and remained in remission at the time of the data cutoff.

The combination was generally well tolerated. The most common (>20%) Grade ≥3 TEAEs were febrile neutropenia (46%) and lung infection (42%), while Grade ≥3 TRAEs (any agent) were thrombocytopenia (12%), neutropenia (8%), QT prolongation (8%), and DS (4%). No patient experienced Grade 4 or 5 DS, and all DS events were resolved with steroids.

In addition to the R/R cohort, a frontline cohort is now enrolling patients.

Initial Results from INTERCEPT Trial of Revumenib as Pre-Emptive Therapy for MRD Positive AML

INTERCEPT is an investigator-sponsored platform trial evaluating the use of novel therapies, including revumenib, to target MRD and early relapse in AML. This proof-of-concept trial is exploring whether targeting MRD in patients with progressive AML may be an effective approach to maintaining patients in first (CR1) or second remission (CR2).

As of the July 2024 data cut off, nine patients with MRD relapse (eight with mNPM1 and one with KMT2Ar) were enrolled in the safety cohort and received revumenib. The median age was 62 years; seven were in CR1, two in CR2; three had prior venetoclax exposure and six had prior intensive therapy.

In a preliminary analysis of the eight mNPM1 patients who received revumenib, five of the eight patients had MRD reduction, including three who achieved MRD negativity within six cycles. In the nine-patient safety cohort, dose-limiting toxicities included reversible Grade 3 QTc prolongation in two patients; neither de-escalation nor elimination were mandated and 276 mg of revumenib BID was therefore considered safe for further expansion. These data support revumenib’s safety profile and activity in patients with mNPM1 MRD relapse.

About Revumenib
Revumenib is an oral, small molecule inhibitor of the menin-KMT2A binding interaction that is being developed for the treatment of KMT2A-rearranged (KMT2Ar), also known as mixed lineage leukemia rearranged or MLLr, acute leukemias including acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and mutant NPM1 AML. The Journal of Clinical Oncology published results from the Phase 2 AUGMENT-101 trial of revumenib in R/R KMT2Ar acute leukemia showing the trial met its primary endpoint.

Revumenib was previously granted Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of AML, ALL and acute leukemias of ambiguous lineage (ALAL) by the U.S. FDA and for the treatment of AML by the European Commission. The U.S. FDA also granted Fast Track designation to revumenib for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with R/R acute leukemias harboring a KMT2A rearrangement or NPM1 mutation and Breakthrough Therapy Designation for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with R/R acute leukemia harboring a KMT2A rearrangement.

"In the five years since its initial approval, BRUKINSA has become a standard of care for patients facing many B-cell malignancies, and our data featured at ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) demonstrated how long-term follow-up of treatment with BRUKINSA elicited deep and durable responses, including in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia," said Mehrdad Mobasher, M.D., M.P.H., Chief Medical Officer, Hematology at BeiGene. "BRUKINSA is just the starting point – pipeline data for our BTK degrader BGB-16673 and BCL2 inhibitor sonrotoclax showcase our continued leadership across the hematology landscape and our commitment to bringing innovative medicines to as many people with cancer as possible."

Presentations Highlight Sustained Progression-Free Survival and Deepening Durable Responses for Patients Treated with BRUKINSA in Treatment-Naïve and Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) Settings

Five-year follow-up results from Cohort 1 of the Phase 3 SEQUOIA study showed sustained progression-free survival (PFS) benefit with BRUKINSA in patients with treatment-naïve chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), with no new safety signals observed.
Results from the LTE (long-term extension rollover) study of patients with treatment-naïve and R/R CLL also showed that treatment with BRUKINSA as a single agent or as an investigational treatment in combination with obinutuzumab achieved high overall and complete response rates. With a median follow-up of up to 6.5 years, the responses were sustained, and no new safety signals were observed.
Results from an LTE study of patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) from the Phase 3 ASPEN study, with a median follow-up of up to 5.8 years, demonstrated that treatment with BRUKINSA monotherapy remained durable and the safety/tolerability profile remained favorable.
Data from a Phase 2 study showed patients with prior intolerance to acalabrutinib were able to safely and effectively switch to BRUKINSA, with the majority of patients not experiencing recurrence of prior acalabrutinib-intolerance events while maintaining or deepening responses.
Pipeline Data Show Early Safety and Efficacy Across Multiple B-cell Malignancies

First-in-human Phase 1/2 CaDAnCe-101 presentations (two oral, one poster) highlighted generally manageable safety and promising efficacy results for BTK degrader, BGB-16673, in patients with R/R CLL/SLL, WM, and R/R indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. BGB-16673, which induces BTK degradation, is the first and most advanced asset from BeiGene’s chimeric degradation activation compound (CDAC) platform.
Oral presentation of the BGB-11417-101 Phase 1 study demonstrated B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) inhibitor sonrotoclax in combination with BRUKINSA continued to show promising efficacy and was generally well-tolerated in patients with treatment-naïve CLL/SLL; this combination is being evaluated in the Phase 3 CELESTIAL-TNCLL study (NCT06073821).

About BRUKINSA (zanubrutinib)

BRUKINSA is an orally available, small molecule inhibitor of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) designed to deliver complete and sustained inhibition of the BTK protein by optimizing bioavailability, half-life, and selectivity. With differentiated pharmacokinetics compared with other approved BTK inhibitors, BRUKINSA has been demonstrated to inhibit the proliferation of malignant B cells within a number of disease-relevant tissues.

BRUKINSA has the broadest label globally of any BTK inhibitor and is the only BTK inhibitor to provide the flexibility of once or twice daily dosing. The global BRUKINSA clinical development program includes about 6,000 patients enrolled in 30 countries and regions across more than 35 trials. BRUKINSA is approved in more than 70 markets, and more than 100,000 patients have been treated globally.

U.S. Indications and Important Safety Information for BRUKINSA (zanubrutinib)

INDICATIONS

BRUKINSA is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adult patients with:

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).
Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia (WM).
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who have received at least one prior therapy.
Relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) who have received at least one anti-CD20-based regimen.
Relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL), in combination with obinutuzumab, after two or more lines of systemic therapy.
The MCL, MZL and FL indications are approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and durability of response. Continued approval for these indications may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Warnings and Precautions

Hemorrhage

Fatal and serious hemorrhage has occurred in patients with hematological malignancies treated with BRUKINSA. Grade 3 or higher hemorrhage including intracranial and gastrointestinal hemorrhage, hematuria, and hemothorax was reported in 3.8% of patients treated with BRUKINSA in clinical trials, with fatalities occurring in 0.2% of patients. Bleeding of any grade, excluding purpura and petechiae, occurred in 32% of patients.

Bleeding has occurred in patients with and without concomitant antiplatelet or anticoagulation therapy. Coadministration of BRUKINSA with antiplatelet or anticoagulant medications may further increase the risk of hemorrhage.

Monitor for signs and symptoms of bleeding. Discontinue BRUKINSA if intracranial hemorrhage of any grade occurs. Consider the benefit-risk of withholding BRUKINSA for 3-7 days before and after surgery depending upon the type of surgery and the risk of bleeding.

Infections

Fatal and serious infections (including bacterial, viral, or fungal infections) and opportunistic infections have occurred in patients with hematological malignancies treated with BRUKINSA. Grade 3 or higher infections occurred in 26% of patients, most commonly pneumonia (7.9%), with fatal infections occurring in 3.2% of patients. Infections due to hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation have occurred.

Consider prophylaxis for herpes simplex virus, pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, and other infections according to standard of care in patients who are at increased risk for infections. Monitor and evaluate patients for fever or other signs and symptoms of infection and treat appropriately.

Cytopenias

Grade 3 or 4 cytopenias, including neutropenia (21%), thrombocytopenia (8%) and anemia (8%) based on laboratory measurements, developed in patients treated with BRUKINSA. Grade 4 neutropenia occurred in 10% of patients, and Grade 4 thrombocytopenia occurred in 2.5% of patients.

Monitor complete blood counts regularly during treatment and interrupt treatment, reduce the dose, or discontinue treatment as warranted. Treat using growth factor or transfusions, as needed.

Second Primary Malignancies

Second primary malignancies, including non-skin carcinoma, have occurred in 14% of patients treated with BRUKINSA. The most frequent second primary malignancy was non-melanoma skin cancers (8%), followed by other solid tumors in 7% of the patients (including melanoma in 1% of patients) and hematologic malignancies (0.7%). Advise patients to use sun protection and monitor patients for the development of second primary malignancies.

Cardiac Arrhythmias

Serious cardiac arrhythmias have occurred in patients treated with BRUKINSA. Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter were reported in 4.4% patients treated with BRUKINSA, including Grade 3 or higher cases in 1.9% of patients. Patients with cardiac risk factors, hypertension, and acute infections may be at increased risk. Grade 3 or higher ventricular arrhythmias were reported in 0.3% of patients.

Monitor for signs and symptoms of cardiac arrhythmias (e.g., palpitations, dizziness, syncope, dyspnea, chest discomfort), manage appropriately, and consider the risks and benefits of continued BRUKINSA treatment.

Hepatotoxicity, Including Drug-Induced Liver Injury

Hepatotoxicity, including severe, life-threatening, and potentially fatal cases of drug-induced liver injury (DILI), has occurred in patients treated with Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors, including BRUKINSA.

Evaluate bilirubin and transaminases at baseline and throughout treatment with BRUKINSA. For patients who develop abnormal liver tests after BRUKINSA, monitor more frequently for liver test abnormalities and clinical signs and symptoms of hepatic toxicity. If DILI is suspected, withhold BRUKINSA. Upon confirmation of DILI, discontinue BRUKINSA.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Based on findings in animals, BRUKINSA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Administration of zanubrutinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused embryo-fetal toxicity, including malformations at exposures that were 5 times higher than those reported in patients at the recommended dose of 160 mg twice daily. Advise women to avoid becoming pregnant while taking BRUKINSA and for 1 week after the last dose. Advise men to avoid fathering a child during treatment and for 1 week after the last dose. If this drug is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to a fetus.

Adverse Reactions

The most common adverse reactions (≥30%), including laboratory abnormalities, in patients who received BRUKINSA (N=1729) are decreased neutrophil count (51%), decreased platelet count (41%), upper respiratory tract infection (38%), hemorrhage (32%), and musculoskeletal pain (31%).

Drug Interactions

CYP3A Inhibitors: When BRUKINSA is co-administered with a strong CYP3A inhibitor, reduce BRUKINSA dose to 80 mg once daily. For coadministration with a moderate CYP3A inhibitor, reduce BRUKINSA dose to 80 mg twice daily.

CYP3A Inducers: Avoid coadministration with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers. Dose adjustment may be recommended with moderate CYP3A inducers.

Specific Populations

Hepatic Impairment: The recommended dose of BRUKINSA for patients with severe hepatic impairment is 80 mg orally twice daily.

"This has been a historic period for Syndax as we transitioned to a commercial-stage company with the approval of Niktimvo. With the recently completed royalty financing, we expect to be funded through profitability and we are well positioned to maximize the potential of our pipeline," said Michael A. Metzger, Chief Executive Officer. "We have a very exciting quarter ahead with the anticipated FDA approval and U.S. launch of revumenib for adults and pediatrics with R/R KMT2Ar acute leukemia, as well as the expected readout of topline pivotal data from patients with R/R mNPM1 AML. Our commercial organization is well-prepared to launch revumenib and leverage our first-to-market position to drive long-term value creation."

Recent Pipeline Progress and Anticipated Milestones

Revumenib

The New Drug Application (NDA) for revumenib, an oral menin inhibitor, for the treatment of adult and pediatric relapsed or refractory (R/R) KMT2A-rearranged (KMT2Ar) acute leukemia was granted Priority Review and is being reviewed under the U.S. FDA’s Real-Time Oncology Review (RTOR) Program with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of December 26, 2024.
The Company expects to report topline data from the AUGMENT-101 pivotal trial cohort of patients with R/R mutant nucleophosmin (mNPM1) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in the fourth quarter of 2024. Positive data could support a supplemental NDA (sNDA) filing for revumenib in R/R mNPM1 AML in the first half of 2025.
The Company announced that data from the pivotal Phase 2 portion of the AUGMENT-101 trial of revumenib in adult and pediatric patients with R/R KMT2Ar AML and acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) have been published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
The Company announced that a larger data set and longer follow-up from the pivotal Phase 2 portion of the AUGMENT-101 trial of revumenib in R/R KMT2Ar acute leukemia will be presented at the upcoming 66th American Society of Hematology (ASH) (Free ASH Whitepaper) Annual Meeting. The larger efficacy population (n=97) includes the 57 patients from the previously reported interim efficacy analysis plus an additional 40 patients. Consistent with previously reported data, the updated analysis shows that revumenib provides durable responses and robust rates of overall response, minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSTC). With seven months of additional follow-up, the median duration of CR/CRh extended to 13 months among the 13 CR/CRh responders included in the interim analysis presented at ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) 2023.
Multiple trials evaluating the potential to expand revumenib use across the mNPM1 and KMT2Ar acute leukemia treatment landscape are ongoing. These trials include:
BEAT AML: A Phase 1 trial evaluating the combination of revumenib with venetoclax and azacitidine in front-line AML patients. The trial is being conducted as part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Beat AML Master Clinical Trial. The Company presented updated positive data from the trial at the European Hematology Association (EHA) (Free EHA Whitepaper) 2024 Congress, showing a 96% (23 of 24 pts) composite complete remission (CRc) rate in patients with newly diagnosed mNPM1 or KMT2Ar AML. The BEAT AML trial is expanding to validate the recommended Phase 2 dose of the combination of revumenib with venetoclax and azacitidine. The company anticipates that an update on the trial will be available in the fourth quarter of 2024.
SAVE: A Phase 1 trial evaluating the all-oral combination of revumenib with venetoclax and decitabine/cedazuridine in R/R AML or mixed phenotype acute leukemias. The trial is being conducted by investigators from MD Anderson Cancer Center. The Company announced that updated data showing an 88% ORR (23 of 26 pts) in R/R patients with KMT2Ar, mNPM1, or NUP98r leukemias will be presented at the upcoming 66th ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) Annual Meeting. In addition to the R/R cohort, a frontline cohort is now enrolling patients.
INTERCEPT: A Phase 1 trial evaluating the use of novel therapies, including revumenib, to target MRD and early relapse in AML. The trial is being conducted by the Australasian Leukaemia and Lymphoma Group as part of the INTERCEPT AML master clinical trial. Preliminary results from the first eight mNPM1 patients treated with revumenib will be presented at the upcoming 66th ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) Annual Meeting.
Intensive chemotherapy: A Phase 1 trial evaluating the combination of revumenib with intensive chemotherapy (7+3) followed by revumenib maintenance treatment in newly diagnosed patients with mNPM1 or KMT2Ar acute leukemias. The trial is designed to identify the recommended Phase 2 dose for this combination to support further development.
Break Through Cancer: A Phase 2 trial studying whether the combination of revumenib and venetoclax can eliminate MRD in patients with AML and extend progression-free survival. The trial is being conducted by Break Through Cancer, a collaboration between leading U.S. cancer research centers.
The Company plans to initiate a pivotal trial of revumenib in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine in newly diagnosed mNPM1 or KMT2Ar acute leukemia patients unfit to receive intensive chemotherapy by year-end 2024.
The Company is evaluating revumenib in patients with R/R metastatic microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancer (CRC). The trial is currently enrolling patients in the Phase 1b portion of its Phase 1/2 proof-of-concept trial.

Niktimvo (axatilimab-csfr)

Niktimvo received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the treatment of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after failure of at least two prior lines of systemic therapy in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 40 kg (88.2 lbs). The Company anticipates that Niktimvo will be launched in the U.S. no later than early first quarter 2025. In the U.S., Niktimvo will be co-commercialized by Syndax and Incyte.
The Company announced Niktimvo was added to the latest NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) as a category 2A recommendation for the treatment of GVHD after the failure of at least two prior lines of systemic therapy in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 40 kg. Treatments are classified as category 2A when there is uniform NCCN consensus that the intervention is appropriate, based on lower level evidence.
The Company announced that results from the pivotal Phase 2 AGAVE-201 trial of Niktimvo in adult and pediatric patients with recurrent/refractory active chronic GVHD who had received at least two prior lines of systemic therapy were published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The Company announced a secondary analysis of overall and organ-specific responses from the pivotal Phase 2 AGAVE-201 trial of Niktimvo in adult and pediatric patients with recurrent/refractory active chronic GVHD who had received at least two prior lines of systemic therapy will be presented at the 66th ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) Annual Meeting. The data demonstrated rapid responses and symptom improvement in inflammatory and fibrotic manifestations of chronic GVHD in heavily pretreated patients.
Enrollment is ongoing in a 26-week randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial of axatilimab on top of standard of care in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), now referred to as the MAXPIRe trial (NCT06132256). The Company expects to report topline data from the trial in 2026.
The Company’s partner, Incyte, is now recruiting patients for a Phase 2, open-label, randomized, multicenter trial of axatilimab in combination with ruxolitinib in patients ≥12 years of age with newly diagnosed chronic GVHD (NCT06388564). A Phase 3 trial of axatilimab in combination with steroids for the treatment of chronic GVHD is currently in preparation.
Corporate Update

The Company announced a $350 million royalty funding agreement with Royalty Pharma based on U.S. net sales of Niktimvo. Under the agreement, Syndax received $350 million in exchange for a 13.8% royalty on U.S. net sales of Niktimvo. Royalty payments to Royalty Pharma will cease upon reaching a multiple of 2.35x.

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

As of September 30, 2024, Syndax had cash, cash equivalents, and short- and long-term investments of $399.6 million and 85.6 million common shares and prefunded warrants outstanding.

Third quarter 2024 research and development expenses increased to $71.0 million from $39.1 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily due to greater clinical development expenses, higher pre-commercial manufacturing costs, and increased employee-related expenses and professional fees.

Third quarter 2024 selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $31.1 million from $17.3 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase was driven by a greater level of commercial readiness activities for revumenib and axatilimab as well as higher employee-related expenses and professional fees.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, Syndax reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $84.1 million, or $0.98 per share, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $51.1 million, or $0.73 per share, for the comparable prior year period.

Financial Guidance

For the full year of 2024, the Company expects research and development expenses to be $245 to $250 million (prior guidance $240 million to $260 million) and total operating expenses to be $365 to $370 million (prior guidance $355 million to $375 million), which includes milestone payments that the Company expects to become due as well as an estimated $41 million (prior guidance $43 million) in non-cash stock compensation expense.

Syndax expects that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, together with the $350 million from the sale of a portion of the Niktimvo royalty and anticipated product revenue and interest income, enables the company to reach profitability.

Conference Call and Webcast

In connection with the earnings release, Syndax’s management team will host a conference call and live audio webcast at 4:30 p.m. ET today, Tuesday, November 5, 2024.

About Revumenib

Revumenib is an oral, small molecule inhibitor of the menin-KMT2A binding interaction that is being developed for the treatment of KMT2A-rearranged (KMT2Ar), also known as mixed lineage leukemia rearranged or MLLr, acute leukemias including acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and mNPM1 AML. The Journal of Clinical Oncology published results from the Phase 2 AUGMENT-101 trial of revumenib in R/R KMT2Ar acute leukemia showing the trial met its primary endpoint.

Revumenib was previously granted Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of AML, ALL and acute leukemias of ambiguous lineage (ALAL) by the U.S. FDA and for the treatment of AML by the European Commission. The U.S. FDA also granted Fast Track designation to revumenib for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with R/R acute leukemias harboring a KMT2A rearrangement or NPM1 mutation and Breakthrough Therapy Designation for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with R/R acute leukemia harboring a KMT2A rearrangement.

About Niktimvo (axatilimab-csfr)

Niktimvo (axatilimab-csfr) is a first-in-class anti-CSF-1R antibody approved for use in the U.S. for the treatment of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after failure of at least two prior lines of systemic therapy in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 40 kg (88.2 lbs).

In the U.S., Niktimvo will be co-commercialized by Syndax and Incyte. Incyte has exclusive commercialization rights for Niktimvo outside of the U.S.

In 2016, Syndax licensed exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize axatilimab from UCB. In September 2021, Syndax and Incyte entered into an exclusive worldwide co-development and co-commercialization license agreement for axatilimab in chronic GVHD and any future indications.

Axatilimab is being studied in frontline combination trials in chronic GVHD – a Phase 2 combination trial with ruxolitinib (NCT06388564) is underway and a Phase 3 combination trial with steroids is in preparation. Axatilimab is also being studied in an ongoing Phase 2 trial in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (NCT06132256).

About the Real-Time Oncology Review Program (RTOR)

RTOR provides a more efficient review process for oncology drugs to ensure that safe and effective treatments are available to patients as early as possible, while improving review quality and engaging in early iterative communication with the applicant. Specifically, it allows for close engagement between the sponsor and the FDA throughout the submission process and it enables the FDA to review individual sections of modules of a drug application rather than requiring the submission of complete modules or a complete application prior to initiating review.

About Epcoritamab

Epcoritamab is an IgG1-bispecific antibody created using Genmab’s proprietary DuoBody technology and administered subcutaneously. Genmab’s DuoBody-CD3 technology is designed to direct cytotoxic T cells selectively to elicit an immune response toward target cell types. Epcoritamab is designed to simultaneously bind to CD3 on T cells and CD20 on B cells and induces T-cell-mediated killing of CD20+ cells.i

Epcoritamab (approved under the brand name EPKINLY in the U.S. and Japan, and TEPKINLY in the EU) has received regulatory approval in certain lymphoma indications in several territories. Epcoritamab is being co-developed by Genmab and AbbVie as part of the companies’ oncology collaboration. The companies will share commercial responsibilities in the U.S. and Japan, with AbbVie responsible for further global commercialization. Both companies will pursue additional international regulatory approvals for the investigational R/R FL indication and additional approvals for the R/R DLBCL indication.

Genmab and AbbVie continue to evaluate the use of epcoritamab as a monotherapy, and in combination, across lines of therapy in a range of hematologic malignancies. This includes four ongoing Phase 3, open-label, randomized trials including a trial evaluating epcoritamab as a monotherapy in patients with R/R DLBCL compared to investigators choice chemotherapy (NCT04628494), a trial evaluating epcoritamab in combination with R-CHOP in adult participants with newly diagnosed DLBCL (NCT05578976), a trial evaluating epcoritamab in combination with rituximab and lenalidomide (R2) in patients with R/R FL (NCT05409066), and a trial evaluating epcoritamab in combination with rituximab and lenalidomide (R2) compared to chemoimmunotherapy in patients with previously untreated FL (NCT06191744). The safety and efficacy of epcoritamab has not been established for these investigational uses. Please visit www.clinicaltrials.gov for more information.

EPKINLY (epcoritamab-bysp) U.S. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Important Warnings—EPKINLY can cause serious side effects, including:

Cytokine release syndrome (CRS), which is common during treatment with EPKINLY and can be serious or life-threatening. To help reduce your risk of CRS, you will receive EPKINLY on a step-up dosing schedule (when you receive 2 or 3 smaller step-up doses of EPKINLY before your first full dose during your first cycle of treatment), and you may also receive other medicines before and for 3 days after receiving EPKINLY. If your dose of EPKINLY is delayed for any reason, you may need to repeat the step-up dosing schedule.
Neurologic problems that can be life-threatening and lead to death. Neurologic problems may happen days or weeks after you receive EPKINLY.
People with DLBCL or high-grade B-cell lymphoma should be hospitalized for 24 hours after receiving their first full dose of EPKINLY on day 15 of cycle 1 due to the risk of CRS and neurologic problems.

Tell your healthcare provider or get medical help right away if you develop a fever of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher; dizziness or lightheadedness; trouble breathing; chills; fast heartbeat; feeling anxious; headache; confusion; shaking (tremors); problems with balance and movement, such as trouble walking; trouble speaking or writing; confusion and disorientation; drowsiness, tiredness or lack of energy; muscle weakness; seizures; or memory loss. These may be symptoms of CRS or neurologic problems. If you have any symptoms that impair consciousness, do not drive or use heavy machinery or do other dangerous activities until your symptoms go away.

EPKINLY can cause other serious side effects, including:

Infections that may lead to death. Your healthcare provider will check you for signs and symptoms of infection before and during treatment and treat you as needed if you develop an infection. You should receive medicines from your healthcare provider before you start treatment to help prevent infection. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you develop any symptoms of infection during treatment, including fever of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher, cough, chest pain, tiredness, shortness of breath, painful rash, sore throat, pain during urination, or feeling weak or generally unwell.
Low blood cell counts, which can be serious or severe. Your healthcare provider will check your blood cell counts during treatment. EPKINLY may cause low blood cell counts, including low white blood cells (neutropenia), which can increase your risk for infection; low red blood cells (anemia), which can cause tiredness and shortness of breath; and low platelets (thrombocytopenia), which can cause bruising or bleeding problems.
Your healthcare provider will monitor you for symptoms of CRS, neurologic problems, infections, and low blood cell counts during treatment with EPKINLY. Your healthcare provider may temporarily stop or completely stop treatment with EPKINLY if you develop certain side effects.

Before you receive EPKINLY, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you have an infection, are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. If you receive EPKINLY while pregnant, it may harm your unborn baby. If you are a female who can become pregnant, your healthcare provider should do a pregnancy test before you start treatment with EPKINLY and you should use effective birth control (contraception) during treatment and for 4 months after your last dose of EPKINLY. Tell your healthcare provider if you become pregnant or think that you may be pregnant during treatment with EPKINLY. Do not breastfeed during treatment with EPKINLY and for 4 months after your last dose of EPKINLY.

In DLBCL or high-grade B-cell lymphoma, the most common side effects of EPKINLY include CRS, tiredness, muscle and bone pain, injection site reactions, fever, stomach-area (abdominal) pain, nausea, and diarrhea. The most common severe abnormal laboratory test results include decreased white blood cells, decreased red blood cells, and decreased platelets.
