Though Gleevec has shown "wonder drug" capabilities for treating chronic
myelogenous leukemia and other cancers, experience in treating patients has
revealed some shortcomings. In some cases, patients have undergone relapse after
building a resistance to the drug. For others with advanced disease, the drug
has failed to produce durable remissions.
However, a molecular understanding of resistance has rapidly led to a new generation of drugs that might prove more effective than Gleevec. Two studies presented here at the 96th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research report that a new compound, known as AMN107, may one day offer a more potent alternative for treating patients with acquired Gleevec resistance and others with advanced CML.
