In plain English
This trial is for adults with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) that has either an NPM1 gene change or a KMT2A gene rearrangement. It tests whether adding a new drug, revumenib, to the standard combination of azacitidine and venetoclax helps patients who cannot have intensive chemotherapy. The trial is run by Stichting Hemato-Oncologie voor Volwassenen Nederland.
Who can take part
- Adults aged 18 or over, with no upper age limit
- Newly diagnosed AML with either an NPM1 mutation or a KMT2A rearrangement, confirmed by a central genetic laboratory (KMT2A partial tandem duplications or deletions are not included)
- Not able to have intensive chemotherapy, for example because of age (75 or over), or other health problems such as heart, lung, kidney or liver conditions
- A life expectancy of at least 12 weeks, as judged by the treating doctor
- A white blood cell count below a set level (hydroxycarbamide may be used to bring it down)
- Well enough kidney and liver function on blood tests
- Able and willing to give informed consent
- For those who can become pregnant or father a child: agreement to use effective contraception during the study and for 6 months after the last dose
Who may not be able to
- Previous treatment for AML (hydroxycarbamide to control white cell counts, and some prior treatments for a bone marrow condition called MDS, are allowed)
- Acute promyelocytic leukaemia, or AML with BCR-ABL1, or blast crisis of chronic myeloid leukaemia
- Significant heart problems within the past 3 months, such as severe heart failure, heart attack, unstable angina or serious abnormal heart rhythms
- Severe breathing problems, or a stroke or brain bleed within the past 6 months
- Signs of leukaemia in the brain or spinal cord
- Active uncontrolled infection, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HIV
- Immediate life-threatening complications of leukaemia, such as uncontrolled bleeding
- Conditions that stop the body taking in oral medicines
- Another current cancer (with some exceptions such as certain skin cancers)
- Live vaccines within 30 days before joining the study
- Severe neurological or psychiatric problems that make giving informed consent difficult
- A reason why azacitidine or venetoclax cannot be used safely
- Weighing under 40 kg
- Taking part in other studies of leukaemia or experimental medicines
- Taking certain medicines that interact with the study drugs, unless they can be switched
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study
- Anyone already screened for this trial who was found ineligible
What taking part involves
- • Taking the study drug revumenib together with two standard AML medicines, azacitidine and venetoclax
- • Revumenib is taken by mouth; azacitidine and venetoclax are existing AML treatments
- • Details such as doses, treatment schedule and how long treatment lasts are not stated — ask the trial team
Time commitment: Not stated — ask the trial team about hospital visits, tests, duration and what taking part involves.

About This Trial
Treatment of patients with newly diagnosed AML who are not eligible for intensive chemotherapy has remained an area of high unmet medical need. The combination therapy with two medicines, azacitidine and venetoclax, is the usual plan of action. This has brought significant progress in the treatment, but it nevertheless is not curative and the disease does relapse over time. Revumenib blocks a specific molecule called menin in the cell nucleus. Some types of AML are reliant on menin working properly. These are leukemia cells with a change in the DNA, i.e. a mutation in the NPM1 or KMT2A gene. Revumenib can prevent the production of these types of leukemia cells by disrupting the production of this menin. The current study investigates whether adding revumenib to the combination therapy improves the prognosis for AML patients with a mutation in the NPM1 or KMT2A gene. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study where subjects will be treated until disease progression, or development of side effects or death. From the moment of inclusion of the last patient, there will be a 4-year observational follow-up study in order to register survival duration and follow-up visits. Approximately 448 previously untreated patients with a mutation in the NPM1 or KMT2A gene and with newly diagnosed AML, who are not eligible for intensive chemotherapy. Patients must be ≥18 years of age.
