Slide 3: NPM1-Mutant AML is a Large Genetic Subset with a High Unmet Need
NPM1-Mutant AML is a Large Genetic Subset1 with a High Unmet Need NPM1-mutant AML ~30% ~6,000 new cases annually in the U.S.2 NPM1-m AML 5-year Overall Survival ~50%3 Adult patients with NPM1-mutant AML and select co-mutations and/or relapsed/refractory disease have a poor prognosis1 Median overall
Slide 4: Ziftomenib Targets the Menin-KMT2A Pathway, a Foundational Target in AML
Ziftomenib Targets the Menin-KMT2A Pathway, a Foundational Target in AML • NPM1-m and KMT2A-r drive overexpression of HOXA9/MEIS1 genes, critical for transformation to AML • KMT2A(MLL) sits upstream from major AML targets (i.e., FLT3, IDH1/2, DNMT3A) • KMT2A(MLL)-dependent genes contribute to therap

Slide 9: Ziftomenib Monotherapy Drives Durable Responses
Ziftomenib Monotherapy Drives Durable Responses • Median DoR 8.2 months (95% CI: 1.0 to Not Evaluable) with a median follow up time of 8.8 months • Patient 1 remained on ziftomenib in CR (MRD-) into Cycle 36 • Patients 9 and 21 proceeded to HSCT • Patient 9 remains in complete response on ziftomenib
Slide 10: Ziftomenib Clears Measurable Residual Disease (MRD), Including Sub-Clones
Ziftomenib Clears Measurable Residual Disease (MRD), Including Sub- Clones Local MRD Analysis1 • 67% of patients (4 of 6) achieving CRc were MRD-negative2 Ongoing Central MRD Analysis, by NGS (Representative Patients)3 NPM1 FLT3-TKD IDH1 Subject 2: Prior Tx with NPM1 FLT3-ITD IDH2 Subject 1: Prior T
Slide 11: Ziftomenib Active Against Known Menin Gatekeeper Mutations
Ziftomenib Active Against Known Menin Gatekeeper Mutations • No major conformational changes observed in MeninT349M vs. wild-type (WT) protein • M327 and Y324 side chains adopt new conformations in MeninT349M but do not affect ziftomenib binding • Binding affinity of ziftomenib is reduced for MeninM
Slide 12: Ziftomenib Appears Less Susceptible to Observed Mutations Associated with Resistance to Menin Inhibition
Ziftomenib Appears Less Susceptible to Observed Mutations Associated with Resistance to Menin Inhibition • Following reports of MEN1 resistance mutations with another menin inhibitor1, an analysis of KOMET-001 identified 1 of 29 subjects (3.4%) with the resistance mutation (MEN1-M327I) acquired whil
Slide 13: Conclusions
Conclusions • Ziftomenib demonstrates significant clinical activity with 45% ORR (35% CR rate) and lack of myelosuppression, with maintained count recovery in heavily pretreated R/R NPM1-m AML • Durable remissions with MRD clearance of foundational NPM1-m and other key co-mutations, including FLT3 I
