tambiciclib (SLS009) / GenFleet Therap, SELLAS Life Sciences - LARVOL DELTA

Tambiciclib (SLS009), a CDK9 inhibitor, promotes apoptosis and suppresses MCL-1 levels in AML cell lines (AACR 2026) - P1/2 | "These results suggest that AML cell lines undergo cell death and apoptosis at low nanomolar concentrations of tambiciclib. Preliminary analysis of apoptotic molecules and pathways suggests a mechanism involving MCL-1 and survivin. With ongoing investigations into the dose and schedule of tambiciclib, our future directions include optimizing the use of tambiciclib in combination therapy to leverage the mechanistic effects of CDK9 inhibition and provide a novel therapeutic approach to treating patients with high-risk AML."

SELLAS Life Sciences to Present Preclinical Data Highlighting Potent Activity of SLS009 in AML at the 2026 AACR Conference (GlobeNewswire) - "Changes in caspase-3 and MCL-1 were observed as early as 6 hours after completion of treatment and became more pronounced at 24 hours. Lower levels of MCL-1 and survivin were strongly correlated with increased apoptosis....Notably, SLS009 demonstrated activity even in AML models harboring ASXL1 and TP53 mutations, which are typically associated with high resistance and poor clinical outcomes."

Tambiciclib (SLS009), a novel, potent CDK9 inhibitor is effective in killing ASXL1 mutated and TP53 knockout Acute Myeloid Leukemia cell lines (ASH 2025) - "Tambiciclib has steadily advanced in early-phase clinical trials and has already shown promising clinical benefits when combined with azacitidine, a hypomethylating agent, and venetoclax, a BCL-2 inhibitor; however, there is still a need for optimization of the treatment window for maximal benefit. Inhibition of CDK9 with tambiciclib is a promising and effective approach for inducing cell death in AML. Our preliminary data warrants further investigation to optimize the therapeutic window for tambiciclib treatment in repeated doses and combination therapies."

Front Line Trial Planning Underway Following FDA Guidance (SELLAS Life Sciences Press Release) - "Following a productive end of Phase 2 meeting, the FDA recommended that SELLAS proceeds into a trial to include newly diagnosed, first-line AML patients eligible for venetoclax/azacitidine (aza/ven) therapy, where the agency believes clinical benefit might be greatest; The randomized 80-patient trial is currently in preparation and is expected to begin enrollment by Q1 2026. The trial will include two groups: Predictive biomarker cohort: Newly diagnosed patients unlikely to benefit from standard aza/ven therapy based on molecular profiling; Early resistance cohort: Patients who initiate treatment with aza/ven but demonstrate confirmed lack of any response after two treatment cycles; This precision approach allows SELLAS to target subpopulations with high unmet need and greatest potential for benefit."

PIVOT - Received Preliminary Data for Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) Patients Derived Xenografts (PDX) (GlobeNewswire) - "The experiment conducted and funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH) through the PIVOT program included 27 patient-derived ALL tumors from pediatric patients. Tumors were xenografted in mice in two groups: vehicle control arm and SLS009 arm. Mice were treated with a fractionated dose once per week for 6 consecutive weeks. The treatment was well tolerated. For all models, median survival was approximately tripled in the SLS009 arm compared to the vehicle control arm. SLS009 demonstrated delayed progression in 25/27 (93%) models and more than 2 times longer time to progression in 15/27 (56%) of ALL models. In addition, there were complete responses (CR) in 2 models, and in one of the two models, CR was maintained after the treatment had been completed until the end of the study (4 months)."

SELLAS Unveils Breakthrough Preclinical Data Highlighting Efficacy of SLS009 in TP53 Mutated AML at the 2025 AACR Conference (GlobeNewswire) - "Preclinical data suggest that SLS009, a highly selective CDK9 inhibitor, can induce apoptosis downstream of p53 by targeting critical proteins such as MCL-1 and survivin, regardless of p53 status. Immunoblot analysis reveals near-complete removal of these proteins in treated cells within 8 hours of exposure to SLS009. Furthermore, the treatment reduced TP53-mutated leukemia cell populations by up to 97% in combination with azacitidine–venetoclax, and by up to 80% as monotherapy."
