Danusertib, a Multi-Kinase Aurora Inhibitor, Promising for Treatment of CML Refractory to First- and Second-generation Kinase Inhibitors
Researchers involved in an international multicenter Phase I study have reported that danusertib (PHA-739358) produces responses in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who have failed treatment with Gleevec® (imatinib), Sprycel® (dasatinib), and Tasigna® (nilotinib). The details of this study were presented at the 2009 meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) in New Orleans in early December.[1]
