New hope for tough leukemias: revumenib trial opens
NCT ID NCT06229912
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a drug called revumenib in 40 people with leukemia that has come back or not responded to treatment. The leukemia must have certain genetic changes that turn on HOX genes. The goal is to see if revumenib can safely control the disease. Participants take the drug by mouth and are monitored for side effects and response.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- revumenib (SNDX-5613)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, revumenib could offer a new treatment option for people with certain hard-to-treat leukemias that have not responded to standard therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The drug may cause side effects or fail to control the leukemia.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥ 12 years with weight ≥ 40Kg. 2. ECOG performance status of ≤ 2. 3. Relapsed or refractory acute leukemia, of either myeloid, lymphoid or mixed lineages, with genetic alterations associated with upregulation of HOX, as specified below: Alteration/Mutation - Cytogenetics KMT2A-PTD = Normal karyotype; NPM1-MLF1 = t(3;5)(q25;q34); NUP98r = 11p15 rearrangements; SET-NUP214 = t(9;9)(q34;q34); RUNX1-EVI1 = t(3;21)(q26;q22); MYST3-CREBBP = t(8;16)(p11;p13); CDX2-ETV6 = t(12;13)(p13;q12); CALM-AF10 = t(10;11)(p13;q14-21); MN1-ETV6 = t(12;22)(p13;q12); UBTF-TD = Normal karyotype 4. WBC must be below 25,000/ uL at time of enrollment. Participants may receive cytoreduction prior to enrollment. 5. Baseline ejection fraction must be \> 40%. 6. Adequate hepatic function (direct bilirubin \< 1.5x upper limit of normal (ULN) unless increase is due leukemic involvement, and AST and/or ALT \< 3x ULN unless considered due to leukemic involvement, in which case direct bilirubin or AST and/or ALT \< 5x ULN will be considered eligible). 7. Adequate renal function with an estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 60 mL/min based on local institutional practice for age-appropriate determination. 8. Participants or parent/guardian is willing and able to provide informed consent. 9. In the absence of rapidly proliferative disease, the interval from prior treatment to time of initiation will be at least 14 days for cytotoxic or non-cytotoxic (immunotherapy agent(s), or an interval of 5 half-lives of the prior therapy. Oral hydroxyurea and/or cytarabine (up to 2 g/m2) for patients with rapidly proliferative disease is allowed before the start of study therapy, as needed, for clinical benefit and after discussion with the principal investigator (PI). Concurrent therapy for central nervous system (CNS) prophylaxis or continuation of therapy for controlled CNS disease is permitted. 10. Women of childbearing potential must agree to adequate methods of contraception during the study and at least 3 months after the last treatment. Males must be surgically or biologically sterile or agree to use an adequate method of contraception during the study and at least 3 months after the last treatment. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Participants with any concurrent uncontrolled medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness which could place the participant at unacceptable risk of study treatment. 2. The use of other chemotherapeutic agents or anti-leukemic agents is not permitted during study with the following exceptions (1) intrathecal chemotherapy for prophylactic use or for controlled CNS leukemia. (2) use of hydroxyurea for participants with rapidly proliferative disease or for control of counts during differentiation syndrome. (3) use of steroids for treatment of differentiation syndrome. 3. Participants with any severe gastrointestinal or metabolic condition which could interfere with the absorption of oral study medications. 4. Participants with concurrent active malignancy under treatment. 5. Known active hepatitis B (HBV) or hepatitis C (HCV) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections. 6. Female subjects who are pregnant or breast-feeding. 7. Participant has an active uncontrolled infection. 8. Any of the following within the 6 months prior to study entry: myocardial infarction, uncontrolled/unstable angina, congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Classification Class ≥ II), life-threatening, uncontrolled arrhythmia, cerebrovascular accident, or transient ischemic attack. 9. QTc \>450 msec for males and QTc \>470 msec for females using the Fridericia Formula using an average of the 3 Screening EKGs. 10. History of or any concurrent condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that in the Investigator's opinion might confound the results of the study, interfere with the patient's participation for the full duration of the study, or is not in the best interest of the patient to participate. 11. Clinically active central nervous system (CNS) leukemia. 12. Participants on immunosuppressive therapy post-HSCT at the time of screening (must be off all systemic immunosuppression therapy for at least 2 weeks and calcineurin inhibitors for at least 4 weeks). The use of topical steroids for cutaneous graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) or stable systemic steroid doses less than or equal to 20 mg of prednisone (or equivalent) daily are permitted. 13. Participants with Grade \> 2 active acute GVHD, moderate or severe limited chronic GVHD, or extensive chronic GVHD of any severity.
