On June 12, 2025, Kura Oncology, Inc. (the "Company") and Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd. ("Kyowa Kirin") announced positive updated clinical data from KOMET-007, a Phase 1a/1b trial of ziftomenib, a highly selective oral investigational menin inhibitor, in combination with standards of care, cytarabine/daunorubicin ("7+3"), in patients with newly diagnosed nucleophosmin 1-mutant ("NPM1-m") and KMT2A-rearranged ("KMT2A-r") acute myeloid leukemia ("AML").

In the ongoing study, ziftomenib dosed once daily at 600 mg in combination with 7+3 continued to demonstrate robust and evolving clinical activity in patients with newly diagnosed AML. Among 71 response-evaluable patients, 92% (65/71) achieved a composite complete remission ("CRc") (93% for NPM1-m, 89% for KMT2A-r patients) and 80% (57/71) achieved a complete remission ("CR") (84% for NPM1-m, 74% for KMT2A-r patients) at the time of data cutoff. A rate of CR minimal residual disease ("MRD") negativity of 71% for NPM1-m with a median time to MRD negativity of 4.7 weeks and a rate of CR-MRD negativity of 88% for KMT2A-r patients with a median time to MRD negativity of 4.4 weeks were observed. Ziftomenib did not delay time to neutrophil and platelet count recovery, which was comparable to intensive chemotherapy regimens.

Median follow-up times for the two populations were 24.9 weeks (range 4.3-47.1) in NPM1-m patients and 15.7 weeks (range 1.1-40.3) in KMT2A-r patients. Among response-evaluable NPM1-m patients, neither a median duration of CR nor a median overall survival ("OS") had been reached. Among response-evaluable KMT2A-r patients, a median duration of CR was determined to be 25.6 weeks (95% confidence interval, range 8.3-not evaluable), and a median OS had not been reached. Notably, 96% (47/49) of NPM1-m patients and 88% (29/33) of KMT2A-r patients remained alive and on study.

The safety population included 82 newly diagnosed adult patients with NPM1-m or KMT2A-r AML from the pooled Phase 1a/1b portions of the trial at the 600 mg QD dose of ziftomenib. The safety profile observed with ziftomenib was consistent with previously reported data. Ziftomenib-related adverse events ("TRAEs") of ≥ Grade 3 ("Gr3"), which occurred in more than 10% of patients were febrile neutropenia (15%), decreased platelet count (15%), anemia (11%) and decreased neutrophil count (11%). One case of differentiation syndrome (KMT2A-r, Gr3) was successfully managed by protocol-specified mitigation strategies. Two cases of investigator-assessed QTc prolongation (both KMT2A-r, Gr3) were reported; both patients were on other medications (posaconazole and/or piperacillin/tazobactam), which have been identified as potentially causing QT prolongation at the time of QT assessment. No dose-limiting toxicities, drug-drug interactions, clinically meaningful ziftomenib-associated QTc prolongation or additive myelosuppression were observed.

The Company expects to start KOMET-017 intensive chemotherapy and non-intensive chemotherapy randomized Phase 3 studies in the second half of 2025.

On June 18, 2025, the Company hosted a virtual investor event and presented certain materials related to the Company (the "Presentation"). A copy of the Presentation is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

ZIFTOMENIB TARGETS THE MENIN PATHWAY, A FOUNDATIONAL TARGET IN AML Inhibiting the menin-KMT2A complex downregulates HOXA9/MEIS1, leading to differentiation of leukemic blasts5 KMT2A (MLL) and NPM1 sit upstream from major AML targets (i.e., FLT3, BCL2 and IDH1/2)4 In ~35–40% of AML, leukemogenesis is driven by NPM1 mutations or KMT2A rearrangements,1,2 which cause AML by blocking differentiation of blasts3 1.

Importance of the CRMRD- Endpoint Published data suggest CR MRD- may correlate better with long-term survival than morphologic CR alone Literature highlights significant impact of NPM1-m MRD negativity on long-term survival and the implication on consolidation therapy choices Higher rates of CR MRD negativity with ziftomenib have potential to diminish the need for allogeneic stem cell transplantation Utilizing this endpoint in KOMET-017-IC: Provides potential to pave the way in the field to establish this new surrogate endpoint Othman J, et al.

HEMATOLOGIST / ONCOLOGIST VIEWS ON KOMET-007-IC PRELIMINARY CLINICAL DATA PRESENTED AT EHA 2025 "The 007 data looked good, especially the CR rate holding up for the KMT2Ar cohort" "We are embarking on a new era of menin inhibitors in combination with frontline therapy in newly diagnosed AML w/ NPM1m or KMT2Ar." "impressed by the choice of CR MRD negativity as a primary endpoint in MEN-017" "Combination with standard of care is the way for menin inhibitors." Ziftomenib is potentially differentiated on safety and tolerability, combinability with intensive chemotherapy, strong CR rates, MRD negativity and durability, and convenience Kura Oncology KOL Feedback – June 12, 2025; data on file "The safety profile really differentiates ziftomenib in terms of lack of QTc prolongation, CYP3A4 DDI and potentially less myelosuppression along with good time to count recovery." "Ziftomenib demonstrates impressive CR and MRD negativity rates"
