Incyte and Syndax Pharmaceuticals announced FDA approval of Niktimvo (axatilimab-csfr) in 9 mg and 22 mg vial sizes, with U.S. launch expected in early February. Niktimvo is the first FDA-approved treatment targeting CSF-1R for chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in patients who failed at least two prior systemic therapies.

The approval was based on the AGAVE-201 trial results, where 75% of patients receiving 0.3 mg/kg every two weeks achieved response at six months. The approved dose is 0.3 mg/kg (max 35 mg) via intravenous infusion every two weeks for patients weighing at least 40 kg.

Notable adverse reactions occurred in 44% of patients, with 10% discontinuing treatment. The most common side effects included increased AST, infections, and decreased phosphate levels. The treatment has been added to NCCN Guidelines as a category 2A recommendation.

Syndax Pharmaceuticals (SNDX) highlighted its achievements and 2025 milestones, featuring two major FDA approvals in 2024: Revuforj® for R/R acute leukemia with KMT2A translocation and Niktimvo™ for chronic GVHD treatment. Both drugs were added to NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines.

Key developments include positive results from the AUGMENT-101 trial for Revuforj, with plans to submit an sNDA for R/R mNPM1 AML in 1H25. The company secured a $350 million royalty funding agreement with Royalty Pharma for Niktimvo's U.S. sales.
