1 FIP1L1-PDGFR alpha is a novel therapeutic target of the kinase inhibitor imatinib (Glivec, Novartis), which provides the basis for the treatment of these patients with this drug. Imatinib Mesylate factor interacting with PAPOLA and CPSF1 Homo sapiens
2 FIP1L1-PDGFRA positive CEL patients respond very well to imatinib therapy, some of which are remarkable responses with normalization of the blood counts within 2 weeks after start of the therapy. Imatinib Mesylate factor interacting with PAPOLA and CPSF1 Homo sapiens
3 All imatinib treated FIP1L1-PDGFRA positive CEL patients achieve hematological and cytogenetic remission, and the majority of patients also achieve a molecular remission with the fusion gene no longer detectable in blood, even by the most sensitive PCR techniques.
