April 2007 clinical trial update
BMS-354825
The BMS- 354825 trial has closed and is removed from the list. Dr. Demetri indicated that trial patients still continue to receive the drug. He also expects the results of the phase I trial to be published. BMS- 354825 has been approved for use in CML (as Sprycel) and will likely be tested in other cancers.
Genasense
According to Dr. Demetri’s staff, the Genasense phase I trial is not available at Dana-Farber. This information in the clinicaltrials.gov database is not correct.
IPI-504
All new patients are getting the drug on a continuous schedule instead of the 2 weeks on, one week off schedule. Responses are being seen in GIST patient PET scans.
