The company will grant underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 15% of shares sold. Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, and Cowen are managing the offering.

Syndax Pharmaceuticals has received Breakthrough Therapy Designation from the FDA for revumenib, the first treatment for relapsed or refractory KMT2Ar acute leukemia. This designation is based on Phase 1 data from the AUGMENT-101 trial, which indicated a 27% complete remission rate in patients. The company aims to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) for revumenib by the end of 2023, with potential expedited approval due to the significant unmet need in this patient population. Revumenib targets an estimated 10% of all acute leukemias, crucially impacting infant cases.
