How ziftomenib is dosed

From the FDA label for Komzifti (application NDA220305). Other ziftomenib products — different forms, different strengths — are dosed differently. Follow the label for the one you were prescribed.

Select patients for treatment with KOMZIFTI based on the presence of an NPM1 mutation. ( 2.1 ) Recommended dosage: 600 mg orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. For patients without confirmed disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, treat for a minimum of 6 months to allow time for a clinical response. ( 2.2 ) See Full Prescribing Information for administration instructions and dosage modifications. ( 2.3 , 2.4 , 2.5 ) 2.1 Patient Selection Select patients for the treatment of relapsed or refractory AML with KOMZIFTI based on the presence of an NPM1 mutation [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . An FDA-approved test for the detection of NPM1 mutations is not currently available. 2.2 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of KOMZIFTI is 600 mg taken orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Do not start KOMZIFTI until the white blood cell (WBC) count is reduced to less than 25 x 10⁹/L. For patients without confirmed disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, treatment for a minimum of 6 months is recommended to allow time for a clinical response. 2.3 Administration Instructions Administer KOMZIFTI once daily on an empty stomach (at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal) [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )]. Administer KOMZIFTI orally at about the same time each day. Swallow capsules whole. Do not open, break,…

Ziftomenib side effects

The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Differentiation Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] QTc Interval Prolongation [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) are infection without an identified pathogen, hemorrhage, diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, edema, bacterial infection, musculoskeletal pain, differentiation syndrome, pruritus, febrile neutropenia, and transaminases increased. ( 6.1 ) The most common laboratory abnormalities (≥10%) are aspartate aminotransferase increased, potassium decreased, albumin decreased, alanine aminotransferase increased, sodium decreased, creatinine increased, alkaline phosphatase increased, bilirubin increased, potassium increased. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Kura Oncology, Inc., at 1-844-KURAONC, or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Relapsed or Refractory AML with an NPM1 Mutation The safety of KOMZIFTI for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory AML with an NPM1 mutation was evaluated in KO-MEN-001…

Ziftomenib drug interactions

Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Monitor more frequently for adverse reactions. ( 7.1 ) Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers: Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.1 ) Proton Pump Inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use. ( 2.4 , 7.1 ) H2 Receptor Antagonists and Antacids: Avoid concomitant use. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, modify KOMZIFTI administration time. ( 2.4 , 7.1 ) Drugs that Prolong the QTc Interval: Avoid concomitant use. If concomitant use is unavoidable, monitor patients more frequently for QTc interval prolongations. ( 5.2 , 7.1 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on KOMZIFTI Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors Monitor patients more frequently for KOMZIFTI-associated adverse reactions. Ziftomenib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A. Concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors increases ziftomenib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )], which may increase the risk of adverse reactions such as QT prolongation. Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers Avoid concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers. Ziftomenib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A. Concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers may decrease ziftomenib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may reduce the efficacy of KOMZIFTI. Gastric Acid Reducing Agents Concomitant administration of ziftomenib with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) decreases ziftomenib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may reduce the efficacy of KOMZIFTI. Avoid concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with PPIs. Avoid concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with H2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) or locally acting antacids. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, modify KOMZIFTI administration time [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 )] . Drugs that Prolong the QT Interval Avoid concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with other product(s) with a known potential to prolong the QTc interval. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, obtain ECGs when initiating, during concomitant use, and as clinically indicated [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . Interrupt KOMZIFTI if the QTc interval is > 500 ms or the change from baseline is > 60 ms [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5 )] . Ziftomenib causes QTc interval prolongation [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.2 )] . Concomitant use of KOMZIFTI with other products that prolong the QTc interval may result in a greater increase in the QTc interval and adverse reactions associated with QTc interval prolongation, including Torsades de pointes, other serious arrhythmias, and sudden death [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] .

What people report to the FDA about ziftomenib

The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 7 reports naming ziftomenib, and the FDA flagged 100% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:

  • nausea2 reports
  • red blood cell count decreased2 reports
  • bacterial infection1 reports
  • differentiation syndrome1 reports
  • faeces hard1 reports
  • fatigue1 reports
  • haematocrit decreased1 reports
  • nasopharyngitis1 reports

Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean ziftomenib caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label section above.

Frequently asked questions

What is ziftomenib?

Komzifti (Ziftomenib) is a medication used to treat Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Can you take ziftomenib with other medicines?

It depends on the medicine. We check it against the FDA labels rather than guessing: our interaction checker searches each drug's own label for the other and quotes what it says, naming the section it came from. Run ziftomenib against whatever else you take — and remember that a label not naming a drug is not the same as that combination being safe.

What forms does ziftomenib come in?

Across the brands we track, ziftomenib is currently marketed as capsule, per the FDA's National Drug Code Directory. Each form is dosed differently — follow the label for the exact product you were prescribed.

Is there a generic ziftomenib?

We do not currently list a generic-labelled ziftomenib product. That does not always mean none exists — it means none appears under a generic name in the FDA data we track. Ask your pharmacist.
