Clinical Trials

Multiple Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials sponsored by Vivolux AB and Theradex have evaluated VLX1570 in combination with low-dose dexamethasone for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. These early-phase investigations were designed to assess the safety and efficacy of targeted proteasomal inhibition in hematologic malignancies. Currently, recruitment across these clinical trials is documented as terminated.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

VLX1570 functions as a competitive inhibitor of proteasome deubiquitinating enzyme activity, which blocks the clearance of polyubiquitinated protein substrates and induces acute proteotoxic stress leading to apoptotic cell death. By disrupting protein homeostasis and triggering cellular toxicity in malignant plasma cells, this targeted mechanism provides the biological rationale for evaluating the compound in multiple myeloma.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards

Quality Dimension RUO (Research Use Only) cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice)
Clinical Applicability Prohibited in human clinical trials or medical diagnostics. Mandatory for human clinical trials (Phase I–III) and therapies.
