Guest guest Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Hi -- Thanks for the post. It's always good to know about new drugs coming along. Helps keep my optimism in good form. Take care. Kathy, dx 5/03 > Last night I had the pleasure of attending a presentation by Dr. Goldman, a British CML specialist now doing a year of CML research at NIH. The talk was sponsored by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. > > The presentation was a general history of the discovery of bcr abl and therapies through the years with very interesting specifics charted out including the way the disease progresses and the various drugs and how they control it and to what degree they work. > > At the end of his talk Dr. Goldman said that IM, AMN 107 and BMS are the hot new drugs now but that there's a new one coming up that is of great interest -- ON 012380 by a company called Onconova in Delaware. Perhaps someone has written about it before but I don't read every post. Anyway, you can read about it on their website: www.onconova.com. It's active against the mutation T351i and uses peptides produced by leukemia cells but that are not part of the leukemia itself. > > L > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
