On top of the fact that they are working on new drugs to fight the mutations, does anybody know if the current drugs or new drugs are being modified to have less side effects?  Like just blocking BCR+ABL and not other kinases?

Yes, the closest is a drug called Bosutinib which is getting close to approval (not sure, maybe still in 2011, but certainly before the end of 2012)

Nice!  That is really good to know.  Hopefully sooner than later.  Thanks.
