Clinical Trials

A clinical trial is currently evaluating the oral CDC7 inhibitor monzosertib (AS-0141) for the treatment of haematological malignancies. Sponsored by the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, this Phase 1b study is listed as not yet recruiting participants with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. The trial will focus on establishing the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of monzosertib in these aggressive myeloid neoplasms with high unmet medical need.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Monzosertib selectively binds to and inhibits cell division cycle 7 (CDC7) kinase with nanomolar potency, preventing downstream phosphorylation of MCM proteins crucial for DNA replication initiation. This biochemical blockade disrupts origin firing and stalls S-phase progression, promoting apoptotic cell death in rapidly dividing cells and supporting its therapeutic rationale in acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards
