Annette,
 
I was really surprised that they were able to develop a drug that will cover all of the mutations so quickly. That is a good sign that things are moving very fast in CML treatments.

Dear Rob, this is fabulous news, so exciting.  Come on FDA, give it
approval for clinical trials quickly. People with T315I need this
now.
Best wishes

but not all forms of Gleevec resistance. Both, for instance, failed
to block the activity of a mutant BCR-ABL, called T315I, which is
one of the more predominant mutations seen in Gleevec-resistant
patients. Reddy and his research team sought instead to develop a
drug that would circumvent all of the mutations and therefore all
forms of resistance....when patients become resistant to Gleevec,
our drug kills 100 percent of the cancer cells," said Reddy.
