Michael Metzger, the Chief Executive Officer of Syndax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:SNDX) said the following on the FDA’s extension of the PDUFA action date for Revumenib in the Q2 2024 earnings call transcript:
“With Revumenib, our menin inhibitor being reviewed by the FDA for patients with relapsed or refractory KMT2A-rearranged acute leukemias, we have a PDUFA action date of December 26, 2024. As we announced earlier this week, the FDA recently extended the PDUFA action date for Revumenib NDA from September 26 to December 26, 2024, a standard three-month extension to allow for additional time to conduct a full review of supplemental information we provided in response to their requests. Importantly, we are confident that the information we have provided supports approval and continues to demonstrate the meaningful benefit Revumenib brings to patients. We look forward to continuing to closely engage with the FDA as they complete the review under the real-time Oncology Review Program or RTOR, and we stand ready to launch Revumenib with strength as soon as we receive the anticipated approval.”
