Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

• Unregulated growth of Myeloid cells in the body.

• 40% people have developed resistance towards drugs available.

• Philadelphia Chromosome

• P210 protein is produced which acts as tyrosine kinase domain.

• Activates series of proteins

• Genetic instability.

Page 6: An Overview of Kancure, LLC

Gleevec Ineffectiveness

• Bcr-Abl gene amplified

• Over expression of the protein.

• Mutations in kinase domain which affects the Gleevec binding.

• Allosteric mutations causing conformational change. • Ineffective in blast crisis.

• Heart failure in some patients

Page 7: An Overview of Kancure, LLC

LeukX

• Doxorubicin

• Prevents amplifications & replications of Bcr-Abl gene.

• Natural compound B phenyl isothiocyanate.

• Degradation of the over expressed protein.

• Activates transcription factor for the differentiation of proteins in blast crisis stage.

• Heterocyclic compound called 2 phenyl amino pyrimidine that acts as kinase inhibitor.

• Binds to T315I mutated domain

Page 8: An Overview of Kancure, LLC

Research studies

• Compared the efficacy with Imatinib, Disatinib, Nicotinib.

• T315I mutated cell lines were obtained treated with LeukX.

• Binds tightly to the T315I mutated kinase domain.

• Activates transcription factor for differentiation of immature cells in blast crisis stage.

• P210 level compared on electrophoresis

Page 9: An Overview of Kancure, LLC

Clinical Research

• Phase I

• Determine side effects of the LeukX on healthy patients.

• Minimum Side effects.

• Effect on left ventricle of the heart Monitored.

• Phase II & III

• Both Imatinib resistance and imatinib sensitive patients would be tested.

• Different doses of the drug would be administered

• Efficacy would be compared with Gleevec, Sprycel & Tasigna.

Our Product & Patients

LeukX is a unique treatment for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML). It works by targeting, and turning off, specific proteins in cells that cause the cancer cells to grow and multiply

CML mostly affects adults, although 2 percent of CML patients are children.

Kancure would target the patients with normal genes, mutated genes T315I and patients those who are within the age range of 45-80
