Covalent Menin Inhibitor Bmf-219 in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory (R/R) Acute Leukemia (AL): Preliminary Phase 1 Data from the Covalent-101 Study (ASH 2023)
Patient B: 70/F, NPM1m, ECOG=1, 125 mg QD, Arm B, 1 prior line of treatment with decitabine and an investigational agent. BMF-219 is generally well tolerated with no DLT observed (and able to be taken with and without CYP3A4 inhibitors) with no pts discontinuing therapy due to toxicity. BMF-219 dose escalation is ongoing and approaching target exposure. BMF-219 demonstrates early signs of clinical activity in different genomic subgroups.

Covalent menin inhibitor, BMF-219, impacts key gene signatures and molecular pathways in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia patient-derived models (IWCLL 2023)
Furthermore, we provide new data demonstrating the superior potency of BMF-219 and ability to achieve >98% growth inhibition in ex vivo cultured CLL patient specimens when compared to new investigational drugs currently in clinical development and established standard-of-care agents for CLL. Collectively, these data demonstrate the mechanistic impact of BMF-219 on key gene targets and molecular pathways modulated by covalent menin inhibition, further highlighting its potential as a novel therapeutic agent in CLL.

Targeting the undruggable: menin inhibitors ante portas. (PubMed, J Cancer Res Clin Oncol)
To date at least six different menin-MLL inhibitors are undergoing clinical evaluation as first- and second-line monotherapy in acute leukaemias: DS-1594, BMF-219, JNJ-75276617, DSP-5336, revumenib, and ziftomenib, however, only for revumenib and ziftomenib early clinical data have been reported. The clinical development of novel menin-MLL inhibitors is well in line with the currently ongoing paradigm shift towards targeted therapies seen in the AML treatment landscape. Moreover, the clinical assessment of combinations of these inhibitors with established therapy options in AML could be the fuel for an improved outcome of MLL/NPM1 patients.

Combinatorial approach using covalent menin inhibitor, BMF-219, and/or covalent FLT3 inhibitor, BMF-500, with MEK or BCL2 blockade potentiates therapeutic use in AML (AACR 2023)
Repeated experiments revealed patterns of increased cell killing is achieved when trametinib, MEK inhibitor, and venetoclax, BCL2 inhibitor, are combined with BMF-219 treatment.Collectively, our studies demonstrate the utility of combination strategies to achieve higher antileukemic cell killing with reduced concentrations of menin and FLT3 covalent inhibitors. Collectively, our studies demonstrate the utility of combination strategies to achieve higher antileukemic cell killing with reduced concentrations of menin and FLT3 covalent inhibitors. Additionally, we show benefit of combinatorial approaches of menin and FLT3 covalent inhibitors with MEK and BCL2 blockade. These data provide initial pre-clinical evidence for combining pathway specific inhibitors as a promising therapeutic strategy for further investigation in acute leukemia.

Anti-tumor activity of covalent menin inhibitor, BMF-219, in high-grade B-cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma preclinical models (IMW 2022)
In ex vivo studies, an R-CHOP refractory THL patient sample and an R-EPOCH refractory MYC-amplified DLBCL patient sample were highly sensitive to BMF-219 treatment (IC50 = 0.15 μM and 0.2 μM, respectively) and demonstrated complete growth inhibition at 1 μM exposure. Collectively, our data demonstrate the novel and robust anti-tumor activity of BMF-219 in HGBCL and MM preclinical models that represent categories of high unmet need. BMF-219 exhibits multi-fold higher potency and complete growth inhibition in these preclinical models compared to clinical reversible menin inhibitors, demonstrating its unique anti-tumor potential in these cancers.

Novel Irreversible Menin Inhibitor, BMF-219, Shows Potent Single Agent Activity in Clinically Relevant DLBCL Cells (ASH 2021)
Standard R-CHOP therapy is inadequate and results in poor patient outcomes. Collectively, our study demonstrates the unique ability of BMF-219's irreversible menin inhibition, which leads to marked killing of DHL cells. BMF-219, as a single agent, substantially reduces MYC and BCL2 gene expression in liquid tumor cells, providing a molecular basis for targeting DLBCL and other tumors with these aberrations. Additionally, BMF-219 offers single agent as well as treatment synergy when combined with ABT-199 in DHL cells.
