Menin inhibitor disrupts complex formation between menin and KMT2A fusion proteins to inhibit activation of leukemogenic transcriptional pathway in leukemia.
Menin-KMT2A complex promotes normal blood cell development in leukemia cells with KMT2A fusion proteins.

Revumenib has a black box warning for differentiation syndrome, a serious condition linked to targeted therapies for AML. Leukemic cell differentiation causes syndrome with inflammatory cytokines effects.
Contraindications:
None
Cautions:
Neutropenia or thrombocytopenia
Embryo-fetal toxicity
Leukocytosis
Pregnancy Warnings:
Pregnancy category: N/A
Lactation: Excretion of the drug into the human breast milk is unknown
Pregnancy categories:
Category A: Satisfactory and well-controlled studies show no evidence of risk to the fetus in the first trimester or in the later trimester.
Category B: No evidence of risk to fetus found in animal reproduction studies and there are not enough studies on pregnant women.
Category C: Adverse effects on the fetus found with evidence in animal reproduction studies and no adequate evidence for an effect in humans, care must be taken for potential risks in pregnant women.
Category D: There is adequate data available with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite potential risks may be used only in emergency cases for potential benefits.
Category X: Drugs listed in this category clearly outweigh risks over benefits. These category drugs should be prohibited for pregnant women.
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this category.
Pharmacology:
Revumenib downregulates leukemia programs through menin-MLL1 interaction, differentiates cells, and decreases proliferation capacity. It disrupts critical leukemic cell survival and proliferation genes.
Pharmacodynamics:
It disrupts leukemogenic gene transcription hinders leukemic cell survival. It decreases oncogenic transcription programs and encourages leukemic blast differentiation into non-leukemic blood cells.
Pharmacokinetic:
Absorption:
It has good oral bioavailability.
Distribution:
It has large volume of distribution of 78 L.
Metabolism:
It is metabolized through CYP3A4 pathway.
Excretion and elimination:
It shows apparent clearance of 7 L/hr to 27 L/hr.
It is available in tablet form for oral use.
Generic Name: revumenib
Why do we use revumenib?
Revuforj is latest FDA approved drug indicated in the treatment of acute leukemia.
It is effective with KMT2A gene translocation in adults and children ≥1 year old after standard treatments.
