Kura Oncology (KURA) has initiated dosing in KOMET-015, a Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating ziftomenib in combination with imatinib for patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) who failed imatinib treatment. The trial aims to assess safety, tolerability, and preliminary antitumor activity.
Preclinical studies showed the combination demonstrates robust antitumor activity in both imatinib-sensitive and resistant GIST models through a synthetic lethal mechanism. With 4,000-6,000 new GIST cases diagnosed annually in the U.S. and 60% of patients developing imatinib resistance within two years, ziftomenib could potentially delay or overcome this resistance.
The KOMET-015 Phase 1a/1b trial will evaluate safety, determine recommended Phase 2 dosing, and measure endpoints including clinical benefit, overall response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival. This marks the first clinical trial combining a menin inhibitor with standard GIST treatments.
