"Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) was virtually uniformly fatal before the late 1990s with a median survival of about three years. In 1960, a unique small marker chromosome called the Philadelphia (Ph1) chromosome was identified. In 1973, it was determined to be a translocation that led to a fusion of the involved genes on chromosomes 9 and 22; the gene on 9 was the Abelson (ABL) oncogene, a known tyrosine kinase. This knowledge led to the development of an inhibitor of the ABL tyrosine kinase that specifically killed cultured CML cells. Clinical trials confirmed these pre-clinical observations and this oral drug, imatinib (Gleevec or STI571), has revolutionized treatment with five-year survival rates of almost 90 percent. Thus, although it took 40 years, CML is a story of success, from the identification of a unique genetic change to the development of a remarkably effective genetically targeted therapy. Dr. Janet Rowley will discuss the discovery of the chromosome translocations and cloning of the translocation breakpoint. Dr. Brian Druker will discuss the pre-clinical and clinical development of ABL inhibitors, including the problem of resistance."
