Kura Oncology reports Q1 EPS (59c), consensus (55c)

“Ziftomenib continues to demonstrate a best-in-class safety and efficacy profile as well as optimal pharmaceutical properties, which we believe will enable it to become a cornerstone of therapy in acute leukemias and beyond,” said Troy Wilson, Ph.D., J.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Kura Oncology. “This belief is backed by increasing investigator enthusiasm, as evidenced by rapid enrollment across our ongoing ziftomenib studies, and further supported by the FDA’s decision to grant Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) to ziftomenib, making it the first investigational treatment to be granted BTD for the treatment of NPM1-mutant acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In the near term, we look forward to completing enrollment in our registration-directed trial of ziftomenib in NPM1-mutant AML and working closely with FDA to bring this potentially innovative medicine to patients in urgent need of effective treatments.”
