No doubt Gleevec works for CML - controls the white blood cell count. Mother in law was on it. NKTR 102 (Peg Irinotecan) has responses for many cancer types. NKTR 102 is in studies for Ovarian, Breast, Colon, replacement for Irinotecan in 5fu for starters.

Avastin for Ovarian Cancer response was 16% Recist. NKTR 102 was 29% Recist Typical range is (6.5-13.8)for Single cancer agent.
Survival is beyond 18 months currently in which death occurs within 3-5 months. Trial is continuing for 6 months extension.

Keep it on your radar screen.
