ABCB1 mRNA Could Predict TKI Response in CML
http://www.cancernet...ki-response-cml
Early evaluation of ABCB1 mRNA expression may help identify chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients who are likely to be resistant to first- and second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), and thus may be candidates for alternative therapies, according to a new study.

Nice find!

I happened to be reading about pharmacokinetics of Bosulif, right before I saw this, so I went back and looked....

In the case of p-glyco protein , I wonder if grapefruit extracts might eventually serve as additional treatments to accompany the tki prescribed for those who are resistant possibly because of this? As that protein is what grapefruit inhibits, increasing blood plasma concentration of tki's and some other meds.
