Mechanism of action

The drug works by blocking the menin-MLL protein-protein interaction, which is critical for the survival of MLL-rearranged leukemias and other hematologic malignancies. By disrupting this interaction, BMS-986365 allows normal differentiation and apoptosis of leukemic cells. This mechanism is particularly relevant in acute leukemias driven by MLL translocations or NPM1 mutations.
