Acute Myeloid Leukemia Overview

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive hematological malignancy characterized by the abnormal proliferation and accumulation of immature myeloid cells in the bone marrow, peripheral blood, and other tissues. The disease interferes with the production of normal blood cells and can progress rapidly, making timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment essential.

AML primarily affects older adults, although it can also occur in children and younger individuals. The disease is associated with several genetic abnormalities and mutations, including FLT3, NPM1, IDH1/2, and KMT2A rearrangements, which play an important role in disease classification, prognosis, and treatment selection.

Common signs and symptoms include:

  • Persistent fatigue and weakness

  • Fever and recurrent infections

  • Frequent bruising and bleeding

  • Pale skin and shortness of breath

  • Bone and joint pain

  • Unexplained weight loss

  • Night sweats

  • Increased susceptibility to infections due to reduced normal blood cell production

Diagnosis generally involves a combination of complete blood count, peripheral blood smear examination, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, flow cytometry, cytogenetic analysis, and molecular testing. These investigations help determine the AML subtype and identify genetic abnormalities that can guide treatment decisions.

Common features include:

  • Rapid proliferation of abnormal myeloid cells

  • Bone marrow dysfunction and impaired blood cell production

  • Association with genetic mutations and chromosomal abnormalities

  • Higher incidence among older adults

  • Risk of relapse following frontline treatment

  • Significant clinical heterogeneity

  • Need for personalized treatment approaches

Acute Myeloid Leukemia Emerging Drugs Profile

Bleximenib: Johnson & Johnson

Bleximenib is an investigational menin-KMT2A inhibitor being developed by Johnson & Johnson for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. The therapy is designed to disrupt the interaction between menin and KMT2A fusion proteins, which play an important role in the development and progression of genetically defined AML subtypes.

In June 2025, Johnson & Johnson announced Phase Ib clinical data demonstrating encouraging antileukemic activity and a promising safety profile for bleximenib in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine. The results were presented at the 2025 European Hematology Association Congress. The company has also indicated plans for a potential US submission for relapsed or refractory AML in 2026.

SLS009: SELLAS Life Sciences

SLS009 is a potential first- and best-in-class selective CDK9 inhibitor being developed by SELLAS Life Sciences for patients with AML, particularly those with relapsed or refractory disease.

The investigational therapy is designed to inhibit cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9), which plays an important role in regulating transcription and cancer cell survival. Clinical findings have demonstrated encouraging response rates, particularly among patients with unfavorable prognostic factors, including ASXL1 mutations.

In January 2024, the FDA granted Fast Track Designation to SLS009 for relapsed or refractory AML. The drug also received Orphan Drug Designation and Rare Pediatric Disease Designation for AML, highlighting its potential in addressing significant unmet medical needs.

L-Annamycin in Combination With Cytarabine: Moleculin Biotech

L-Annamycin is an investigational anthracycline being developed by Moleculin Biotech in combination with cytarabine for patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.

The therapy is designed to inhibit topoisomerase II, interfering with DNA replication and promoting cancer cell death. The combination approach is being investigated as a potential treatment option for patients who have experienced disease relapse or have not responded adequately to previous induction therapy.

In February 2025, Moleculin Biotech announced that it received FDA feedback and guidance on an amendment to its investigational new drug application, allowing a reduction in the planned size of its Phase III pivotal trial protocol evaluating the AnnAraC combination in relapsed or refractory AML.

Ziftomenib: Kura Oncology

Ziftomenib is an investigational oral menin inhibitor being developed by Kura Oncology in collaboration with Kyowa Kirin for patients with NPM1-mutated relapsed or refractory AML.

The therapy targets the menin-KMT2A interaction, which plays a critical role in maintaining leukemic cell growth and differentiation abnormalities. By disrupting this interaction, ziftomenib aims to promote differentiation of leukemic cells and improve treatment outcomes.

In February 2025, Kura Oncology and Kyowa Kirin announced positive topline results from the KOMET-001 Phase II registration-directed trial evaluating ziftomenib in patients with relapsed or refractory NPM1-mutated AML. In June 2025, the FDA accepted the company’s NDA and granted Priority Review.
