| Since its introduction a few years ago, the cancer drug imatinib has given patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia an unprecedented chance at long-term survival. ChemGenex is currently conducting a Phase 2/3 registration-directed study evaluating the use of Ceflatonin([R]) in CML patients who have the T315I Bcr-Abl point mutation that is associated with resistance to imatinib and other tyrosine kinase inhibitors. In the past few years, the breakthrough drug imatinib has changed chronic myeloid leukemia from a death sentence to a treatable disease. |
