What Syndax Pharmaceuticals does

Develops targeted oncology therapies including an approved menin inhibitor for genetically defined leukemias.

Revuforj, approved in 2024 for relapsed acute leukemia with a certain gene change, is its own product, so sales rest on a small number of specialist cancer centres. Axatilimab, a graft-versus-host disease antibody, is developed and sold in partnership with Incyte.
