COVALENT-101: STUDY & BMF-219 BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND
  • Menin, a protein involved in transcriptional regulation, impacting cell cycle control, apoptosis, and DNA damage repair,
    plays a direct role in oncogenic signaling in multiple cancers. Inhibition of menin is a novel approach to cancer treatment.
BMF-219
  • BMF-219, is an orally bioavailable, potent and selective covalent inhibitor of menin, an important transcriptional
    regulator known to play a direct role in oncogenic signaling in multiple cancers.
  • Preclinical data of BMF-219 show sustained potent abrogation of menin-dependent oncogenic signaling in vitro and in
    vivo.
  • BMF-219 demonstrates strong anti-proliferative effect on various menin-dependent AML cell lines, DLBCL cell lines
    representing Double/Triple Hit Lymphoma(DHL/THL), Double Expressor Lymphoma (DEL), and MM cell lines harboring
    diverse mutational backgrounds.
  • BMF-219 exhibits high potency ex vivo in patient samples from MLL-rearranged and NPM1-mutant AML, THL and MYCamplified DLBCL, and bone marrow mononuclear cells from treatment-naive and R/R MM.

  • BMF-219 is supplied as 25 and 100 mg strength capsules for oral administration.

COVALENT-101: STUDY OVERVIEW & DESIGN

  • COVALENT-101 is a prospective, open-label, multi-cohort, non-randomized, multicenter, first-in-human, Phase I study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and clinical activity of escalating doses of oral BMF-219 administered once daily in patients with R/R ALL, AML, DLBCL and MM who have received standard therapy.
  • Approximately 20 clinical sites in the United States.
