Promising pair

Drug STI-571 gets two multi-site trials in Clinical Research, PHS as treatment for CML, gastrointestinal-tract tumors.
Hutchinson Center scientists will take part in a pair of multi-site clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of STI-571 (also known as Gleevec), a drug - taken as a pill - that has shown promise for treating chronic myelogenous leukemia with minimal side effects.

The two studies on this drug involves two Center scientific divisions:

•  With a Seattle component led by Dr. Derek Stirewalt of the Clinical Research Division, an international study will compare the effectiveness of Gleevec with standard, non-transplant treatment for CML.
•  The Hutch's Southwest Oncology Group, led by Dr. John Crowley of the Public Health Sciences Division, will coordinate a separate trial to evaluate Gleevec as a treatment for soft-tissue tumors of the gastrointestinal tract.
