Our data show remarkable dose-dependent in vivo activity of SGR-2921 in AML PDX models, including in those representing difficult-to-treat disease. Direct inhibition of CDC7 by SGR-2921 in AML blasts was demonstrated by a dose-dependent reduction of phosphorylated MCM2. Together, these data demonstrate that SGR-2921-mediated CDC7 inhibition is an attractive novel treatment opportunity in AML, with potential utility in patients with high risk mutations and relapsed and refractory AML.

The study primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SGR-2921 as monotherapy and identify RP2D including MTD. Secondary objectives include evaluating the pharmacokinetics (PK) of SGR-2921 and investigating preliminary antitumor activity (composite complete remission rate, objective response rate, duration of response, etc.).
Combination of SGR-2921 with venetoclax (BCL2 inhibitor) showed synergy on anti-tumor activity both in vitro and in vivo. SGR-2921, a novel, potent CDC7 small molecule inhibitor, demonstrates strong anti-proliferative activity both in vitro in AML cell models and in vivo in AML xenograft models. SGR-2921 showed synergistic inhibitory effects on cell-proliferation and tumor growth in combination with standard of care agents, and was anti-proliferative in AML cell lines and patient samples resistant to standard of care agents. Together, these data show that SGR-2921-mediated CDC7 inhibition is an attractive novel treatment opportunity in AML, with a potential utility in patients with relapsed and refractory AML.
