INVESTOR EVENT Our goal is to develop transformative therapies to extend and improve the lives of patients with cancer Exhibit 99.1
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This
presentation contains forward-looking statements. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our research, preclinical and clinical development activities, plans and projected timelines for ziftomenib, KO-2806 and
tipifarnib, expectations regarding the relative benefits of our product candidates versus competitive therapies, expectations regarding the therapeutic and commercial potential of our product candidates, and expectations regarding our collaboration
with Kyowa Kirin. The words "believe," "may," "should," "will," "estimate," "promise," "plan", "continue," "anticipate,"
"intend," "expect," "potential" and similar expressions (including the negative thereof) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Because such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual
results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Risks that contribute to the uncertain nature of the forward-looking statements include: our preclinical studies and clinical trials may not be
successful; the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may not agree with our interpretation of the data from clinical trials of our product candidates; we may decide, or the FDA may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or to modify
our ongoing clinical trials; we may experience delays in the commencement, enrollment, completion or analysis of clinical testing for our product candidates, or in the reporting of data from such clinical testing, or significant issues
regarding the adequacy of our clinical trial designs or the execution of our clinical trials may arise, which could result in increased costs and delays, or limit our ability to obtain regulatory approval; our product candidates may not receive
regulatory approval or be successfully commercialized; unexpected adverse side effects or inadequate therapeutic efficacy of our product candidates could delay or prevent regulatory approval or commercialization; we may not be able to obtain
additional financing; and our collaboration with Kyowa Kirin may not be successful. Additional risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for Kura's management to predict all risk factors and
uncertainties. All forward-looking statements contained in this presentation speak only as of the date on which they were made. Other risks and uncertainties affecting us are described more fully in our filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they were made. This presentation may also contain statistical, preclinical and clinical data obtained

CONCLUSIONS In the pivotal
KOMET-001 phase 2 study, the primary endpoint was met Ziftomenib achieved clinically meaningful, MRD-negative responses in this heavily pretreated R/R NPM1-m AML population Similar response rates were seen, regardless of prior therapies, including
HSCT and venetoclax Ziftomenib monotherapy was well tolerated with a safety profile consistent with previous studies Low rates of ziftomenib-related myelosuppression 3% ziftomenib-related discontinuations No clinically significant QTc prolongation
Differentiation syndrome was managed with protocol-specified mitigation strategies; no Grade 4-5 DS events NDA submitted for ziftomenib monotherapy as a new potential treatment option for adult patients with R/R NPM1-m AML Ziftomenib
combination studies are currently ongoing in both newly diagnosed and R/R AML (KOMET-007, KOMET-008)
