Clinical Criteria Summary

Document 836: MON Revumenib REVUFORJ Monograph Mar 2026

Indication

  • Treatment of adults with relapsed/refractory (R/R) acute leukemia with a KMT2A rearrangement
  • Treatment of R/R AML with a susceptible nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) mutation in patients who have no satisfactory alternative treatment options

Patient Population & Disease Characteristics

  • Adults (and pediatric patients down to 1 month per protocol amendment)
  • Relapsed/refractory KMT2A rearranged acute leukemia, including AML, ALL, or mixed-phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL)
  • NPM1-mutated AML
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0–2
  • Exclusion: Patients with 11q23 partial tandem duplication (PTD)
  • Inclusion: Patients with CNS disease at most recent relapse allowed if no active CNS disease remains present at study entry

Treatment Setting & Line of Therapy

  • R/R acute leukemia
  • Persistent acute leukemia despite at least 2 lines of therapy or relapse following the most recent salvage therapy
  • No satisfactory alternative treatment options (specifically for NPM1-mutated AML)

Safety Monitoring & Initiation Criteria

  • Differentiation syndrome: Prompt initiation of corticosteroid therapy and hemodynamic monitoring required
  • QTc interval prolongation: Check ECG prior to start; do not initiate therapy with QTcF > 450 msec
  • Electrolyte management: Correct electrolyte abnormalities (hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia) prior to and throughout treatment
  • Embryofetal toxicity: Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential within 7 days prior to initiating revumenib; use effective contraception during treatment and for 4 months after the last dose
  • Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed during treatment and for 1 week after the last dose

Dosing & Administration Criteria

  • Initial dosage depends on patient’s weight and CYP3A4 drug-interactions
  • For body weights ≥ 40 kg: 270 mg PO twice daily without strong CYP3A4 inhibitors; 160 mg PO twice daily with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors
  • Administer in a fasted state or with a low-fat meal (e.g., meals with about 400 calories, ≤ 25% fat)
  • Tablets should be swallowed whole; if unable to swallow, may be crushed and dispersed in water and taken within 2 hours of preparation
  • May be given until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
  • Dosage modifications required for differentiation syndrome and QTc interval prolongation per prescribing information

Drug Interaction Criteria

  • Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors: Reduce revumenib dose
  • Strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers: Avoid concomitant use
  • QTc prolonging drugs: Avoid concomitant use; if unavoidable, monitor patients more frequently

Contraindications

  • None explicitly stated

Document 846: Revumenib REVUFORJ Criteria Mar 2026

Exclusion Criteria

  • Presence of 11q23 partial tandem duplication (PTD)
  • QTcF > 450 msec (Monitor more frequently for QTc interval prolongation if concomitant use of QTc prolonging drugs is unavoidable)
  • Unmanageable drug-drug interaction (Reduce revumenib dose as recommended if concomitant strong CYP3A4 inhibitors are necessary)
  • Pregnancy
  • Lactating
  • Inclusion Criteria (Select one)
  • Relapsed or refractory acute leukemia with a lysine methyltransferase 2A gene (KMT2A) rearrangement; includes acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and mixed-phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) (Defined as unresponsive to the most recent salvage therapy or persists despite intensive induction chemotherapy)
  • Relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia with NPM1-mutation
  • Additional Inclusion Criteria (All must be fulfilled)
  • Care is provided by a VA/VA Community Care hematology/oncology provider
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0–2
  • Goals of care and role of Palliative Care consult have been discussed and documented
  • White blood cell count less than 25 x 109/L before starting treatment due to risk of differentiation syndrome
  • Reproductive & Contraceptive Requirements (If applicable)
  • For females who can become pregnant: Pregnancy must be excluded prior to receiving revumenib.
  • For females who can become pregnant and males with partners who can become pregnant: Counseling provided on potential risks vs benefits of treatment and the use of effective contraception during therapy and for 4 months after stopping treatment.
