A Phase 1 clinical trial for adults with FLT3 mutant Acute Leukemia
About COVALENT-103
This is a multicenter, open-label, non-randomized trial seeking to examine whether BMF-500, a twice daily oral treatment, is safe and effective for patients with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia with fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) wild-type and FLT3 mutations.
What is the NCT number for COVALENT-103?
The National Clinical Trial reference number is: NCT05918692
When you talk with your doctor or clinical trial team member, please have the national trial reference number available.
What does it mean it is open label, non-randomized?
It means all patients will receive the BMF–500, the study drug and that the dose level will be pre-allocated. There will be no placebo and the allocation will not be based on chance.
Will it cost me anything?
Study medication and study-related care will be provided at no cost.

The science behind COVALENT-103
FLT3 is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) that plays a central role in the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of immature blood cells. Notably, FLT3 gene mutations are common in patients with AML and are associated with a poor prognosis. While FLT3-specific and pan-tyrosine kinase inhibitors are approved by the FDA across various lines of therapy in AML, these agents have produced relatively low rates of durable responses and overall survival remains an unmet need.
In preclinical study, BMF-500 demonstrated multi-fold higher potency and increased cytotoxicity than commercially available non-covalent FLT3 inhibitor as well as the potential utility of combination strategies to achieve higher cell killing with reduced concentrations of BMF-500 and BMF-219 (oral investigational covalent menin inhibitor) (Law et al. ASH 2022; Law et al. AACR 2023). These data provide preclinical evidence for combining pathway-specific inhibitors as a promising therapeutic strategy for further investigation in acute leukemia.
What is BMF-500?
BMF-500 is an investigational, novel, orally bioavailable, highly potent and selective covalent small molecule inhibitor of FLT3. BMF-500 was designed to have a therapeutic profile to allow for combinations with standard of care and/or novel targeted agents like BMF-219.
