Clinical Trials

SEL120 (RVU120) is currently being evaluated across several clinical trials addressing hematologic malignancies and advanced solid tumors. These Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies focus on acute myeloid leukemia, high- and lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes, and metastatic solid tumors. Sponsored by Ryvu Therapeutics SA and GCP-Service International West GmbH, the trials report recruitment statuses including active, not recruiting, and unknown.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

SEL120 hydrochloride selectively binds to and inhibits cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (CDK8) and CDK19, blocking Mediator complex kinase activity and suppressing downstream oncogenic transcriptional programs. This disruption of transcriptional regulation impairs cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in malignant cells, providing therapeutic relevance in the context of acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, and advanced solid tumors.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards
