Guest guest Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 I just can't get over how many drugs are being looked at these days. Here are a few more that I left out of my last post: 1)Clofarabine is being trialled for people in blast crisis 2)Velcade (also known as Bortezomib) is a proteasome inhibitor that is being investigated in some centers for CML. 3)Fludarabine has been used in CLL but is also being trialled for blast phase CML. 4)LBH589 is a histone deacetylase inhibitor being trialled for some CML patients who have failled other therapies. 5)XL228 is another drug being used for the T315I mutation 6)CP-4055 is a drug that is simillar to an older drug that used to be used with Interferon called Cytarabine (Ara-C). It kind of makes me wonder where they're going to get enough people to sign up for all these trials. It almost seems like there are more drugs than there are patients to try them.
