7th Annual Oncology Innovation Summit: Insights for ASCO & EHA summary
26 May, 2026Company overview and strategic direction
KOMZIFTI approved for relapsed/refractory NPM1-mutant AML, with robust early launch momentum and strong new patient starts.
Advancing ziftomenib as a combinable backbone in AML, with multiple data readouts expected this year.
Proof-of-concept data positions darlifarnib as a foundational therapy in kidney cancer and KRAS-driven solid tumors.
Focus on maintaining execution and momentum, with goals of quarter-over-quarter growth and market leadership in NPM1-mutant AML.
Well-financed to support ongoing clinical and commercial objectives.
Clinical data highlights and development plans
Adagrasib combination showed high response rates: 50% in late-line NSCLC, 67% in PDAC, and 29% in KRAS inhibitor-naive colorectal cancer.
Adverse events were consistent with known profiles of individual drugs, with no overlapping toxicity observed.
Lower doses of darlifarnib (3 mg and 5 mg) selected for further development due to favorable benefit-risk profile.
Future development will focus on selected tumor types, with more details to be shared at an upcoming investor event.
Darlifarnib shown to inhibit mTORC1 signaling, potentially preventing resistance and deepening responses in combination therapies.
AML program and trial updates
KOMET-007 phase I data showed high complete response rates: 94% for NPM1 and 82% for KMT2A, with strong MRD negativity.
One-year overall survival exceeded historical controls, with 94% for NPM1 and 70% for KMT2A.
Central bone marrow MRD negativity is more sensitive than plasma, with 45% expected for 7+3 alone.
Patients have the option for transplant; post-transplant maintenance is being tracked.
Large phase I enrollment (over 200 patients) supports confidence in pivotal trial reproducibility.
