Basic research by Dr. Brian Druker @OHSUKnight in the 1990s contributed to the development of #imatinib (Gleevec), a landmark drug that has improved the outcomes of patients with #chronicmyelogenousleukemia. cancer.gov/research/progr… #NothingWillStopUs 
He discovered that a compound called STI-571 (a.k.a #imatinib) specifically inhibits growth and tumor formation by #leukemia cells expressing BCR-ABL (a fusion oncoprotein that drives #chronicmyelogenousleukemia) in an @theNCI funded @NatureMedicine study. nature.com/articles/nm059…
Based on these findings, Dr. Druker et al. tested #imatinib in a phase 1 #clinicaltrial. They found that the drug was well tolerated and an effective treatment against #chronicmyelogenousleukemia in patients with late-stage disease. nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NE… #NothingWillStopUs
