Guest guest Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Hi Tim, Thanks for giving us a great summary of the side effects for AMN-107. Can you give any more detail about the anomalies that were found regarding the pancreas? Which lab tests did they do to monitor it? I assume that pancreatitis wasn't the issue since you said that most of the patients didn't have any physical symptoms? Do you know if the patient's lab results returned to normal after they discontinued taking the drug? Thanks for your input, Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracey, I have heard a few reports that they did return to normal. I believe that there is a clinical trial that was recently started to evalute this further. Not much else to report right now. Skip, I am glad that you are doing well on Nilotinib. I did not mean to imply that you had said anything out of bounds about this drug. I merely was objecting to 's Oncologist statement that it was safer than Gleevec. I have heard this opinion long before any of the trial results were out on the drug. Hopefully, the Oncology community will get up to speed once the drug is approved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 ok Tim I have survived when there were no drugs for CML, or at least just one which was Myleran, and I never did understand nor did the doctors how I survived over all these years.. So for me to say any drug was better or more effective would be a lie. All I know is that I am still around.. Still taking new drugs ie. Exjade and nilotinib..BTW nilotinib is still the name that my onc uses as well as the people from my trial and Novartis. thank Skipd my diary of blood counts on AMN107 http://easyskip.tripod.ca --- <timothyfarley16@...> wrote: > Do you know if the > > patient's lab results returned to normal after > they discontinued > taking > > the drug? > > Tracey, > > I have heard a few reports that they did return to > normal.
