The CDK7 covalent inhibitor THZ1, which also inhibits the closely related kinases CDK12 and CDK13 (CDK12/13), has been also shown to directly suppress super-enhancer-associated oncogenic transcription in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, neuroblastoma and small cell lung cancer (Kwiatkowski et al., 2014; Chipumuro et al., 2014; Christensen et al., 2014). The gene discussed is CDK12; the disease is small cell lung carcinoma.
