What’s this new drug?

Categories:

Hi All, I have just been reading about someone in London who has been off Imatinib for 15 months ,it seems her professor  is going to start her on a new drug which may cure her CML and not just keep it under control .Anyone know anything about this or what it is called ,sounds interesting.

Have a link?

Hi, no it was just a short little message in an email ,hopefully I will know more when she has has her appointment soon .

There is no end in the parade of new drugs
..that cure diseases.

Especially incurable diseases.

Sometimes researchers in medicine develop
a therapy that gives life to those previously doomed.

As of today there is no cure.

What’s the status of ABL001? Has it been tested on humans yet? 

I know they’re currently recruiting for a phase 3 trial in the UK

There is at least a few which should be making it into early trials this year or next.  One such example comes from Universities of Glasgow and Manchester:

I know of several drugs they are looking to test but they had not released the names of any of them as of the last I had heard.  

I have a lot more articles I can share with other universities, hospitals and researchers which have also indicated a cure in mice for CML but the Human trials have not yet begun on any that I am aware of.  From my understanding, UofG is ahead of all the others and they may be beginning their trial this year or early next.  One article from 2016 indicated that they would begin this year.

I am taking part in one experimental trial and the results have been looking promising but I cannot share any more than that with you at this time.
