Learning objective: After reading this article, learners will be able to cite a new clinical development in acute lymphoblastic leukemia.


On October 26, 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted breakthrough therapy designation to enzomenib, an oral menin inhibitor, for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) acute leukemia with KMT2A rearrangement (KMT2Ar).1

Enzomenib is currently being evaluated in the ongoing phase I/II Horizen-1 trial (NCT04988555) as monotherapy for the treatment of R/R acute leukemias, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with KMT2Ar.1,2 Results from the Horizen-1 trial demonstrated an overall response rate (ORR) of 73.3%, with a composite complete response (CRc) rate of 60% among patients with acute leukemia with KMT2Ar at the recommended phase II dose.3 The most common adverse events included nausea (39.7%), vomiting (27.6%), and febrile neutropenia (27.6%); no dose-limiting toxicities were reported.3
