Study the mechanism of action of UM0125461 in acute T cell leukemia (T-ALL)

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common hematological cancer in children. 10 to 15% of pediatric cases are of T cell origin (T-ALL). Current intensive multidrug therapy can achieve high cure rates, yet associated with serious long-term adverse effects, including secondary cancers. Moreover, 15% of children will relapse, facing a poor prognosis. We previously uncovered a new drug using a chemical screen in mouse model of human T-ALL. Unraveling the mechanism of action of this new drug will open novel therapeutic opportunities to treat T-ALL patients.
