Let’s see how things have shaped up for the quarter to be reported.
Factors to Consider
In the absence of an approved/marketed product in its portfolio, the focus of the fourth quarter earnings call will be on updates related to Syndax Pharmaceuticals’ pipeline candidates.
Syndax’s pipeline currently consists of two candidates – revumenib and axatilimab – being evaluated in clinical studies targeting cancer indications.
Syndax is evaluating revumenib in the pivotal phase I/II AUGMENT-101 study for the treatment of relapsed/refractory (R/R) acute leukemias. Last November, management announced positive data from the phase I portion of the AUGMENT-101 study evaluating revumenib in R/R acute leukemia patients with nucleophosmin (NPM1) or mixed lineage leukemia rearranged (MLLr) mutations. Data showed that 30% of study participants achieved complete remission (CR/CRh) at a median duration of CR/CRh response of 9.1 months. The study achieved an overall response rate (ORR) of 53%.
Syndax is currently conducting the phase II portion of the AUGMENT-101 study and top-line data from this portion is expected to be announced in the third quarter. Based on discussions with the FDA, the AUGMENT-101 study will serve as the basis for a new drug application (NDA) filing seeking approval for revumenib in R/R acute leukemia patients. The NDA filing is expected by year-end.
We expect SNDX to provide an update on the ongoing phase I AUGMENT-102 study which is evaluating the combination of revumenib and chemotherapy in R/R acute leukemia patients with NPM1 or MLLr mutations.
Syndax Pharmaceuticals is evaluating axatilimab, its anti-CSF-1R antibody, for treating patients with R/R chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) in the phase II AGAVE-201 study. The study is evaluating evaluating the safety and efficacy of three dosing regimens of axatilimab. Data from this study, expected by mid-2023, is expected to support a regulatory filing for axatilimab expected before year-end. The candidate is being developed in partnership with Incyte INCY.
Syndax and Incyte entered into an exclusive worldwide co-development and co-commercialization license agreement for axatilimab in September 2021. Per the terms of agreement, Incyte will lead global commercial activities for axatilimab across all indications.
Investors will also expect an update on a phase IIb study on axatilimab in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), which is expected to start in first-half 2023. Partner Incyte is also expected to start an early-stage study evaluating the combination of ruxolitinib and axatilimab in first-line cGVHD before the end of first-quarter 2023.
