    Item 1.01

    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

    On June 27, 2025, Kura Oncology, Inc. (the “Company”) and Kyowa Kirin, Inc. (“Kyowa Kirin US”) entered into a Co-Promotion and Medical Affairs Agreement (the “Co-Promotion Agreement”) to co-promote the Company’s product candidate, ziftomenib, a potent, selective oral menin inhibitor, for the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia and other hematologic malignancies in the United States and perform medical affairs activities with respect thereto. The Co-Promotion Agreement was entered into under and pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Collaboration and License Agreement by and among the Company, Kyowa Kirin US and Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd. (together with Kyowa Kirin US, “Kyowa Kirin”), dated as of November 20, 2024 (the “Collaboration Agreement”).

    United States Co-Promotion. Under the terms of the Co-Promotion Agreement, Kyowa Kirin US will have the right and responsibility to co-promote ziftomenib for up to a certain percentage of the details in the United States, and will be obligated to meet minimum detailing requirements using sales representatives that meet specific qualifications. The parties will perform such co-promotion activities, and share equally in all costs and expenses therefor, in accordance with the Collaboration Agreement.

    United States Medical Affairs. Under the terms of the Co-Promotion Agreement, the Company will lead all medical affairs activities for ziftomenib in the United States, while collaborating with and receiving input and coordination from Kyowa Kirin US. Further, the parties will jointly develop the health economics and outcomes research strategy for ziftomenib in the United States.

    Termination. The Co-Promotion Agreement will remain in effect until the earlier of the parties’ mutual agreement to cease commercialization of ziftomenib in the United States or the expiration of the United States term under the Collaboration Agreement (which expires on the latest of expiration of all valid claims of the Company’s patent rights licensed to Kyowa Kirin in the United States, expiration of the last-to-expire regulatory exclusivity in the United States or ten years after first commercial sale in the United States). The Co-Promotion Agreement will automatically terminate upon termination of the Collaboration Agreement. Either party may terminate the Co-Promotion Agreement for uncured material breach by the other party.
