Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML)

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is dangerous condition that affects human well-being. At Protheragen, we are working on the development of new therapeutic options, as well as attempting to create precise animal models for the preclinical research of prospective therapies for CML. With our know how, you can be sure that your studies will be given the most dependable and pertinent assistance making your drug development process much more efficient.

Introduction to Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML)

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is uncommon type of blood cancer that occurs in the bone marrow, where there is an overproduction of aberrant white blood cells know as myeloid cells. These myeloid cells grow out of control and build up in the blood and bone marrow which interferes with normal blood cell formation. CML is aided by the presence of a Philadelphia chromosome which is a genetic defect due to a translocation of chromosomes 9 and 22. This alteration causes the BCR-ABL1 fusion protein and its consequent uncontrolled proliferation of leukemia cells.

Pathogenesis of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML)

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) arises as a result of a genetic lesion that translocates between chromosomes 9 and 22 to form the Philadelphia chromosome. The translocation gives rise to BCR-ABL1 fusion gene, which produces a constitutively active tyrosine kinase protein. The BCR-ABL1 protein actively represses normal cellular communication, resulting in accumulation and growth of immature myeloid progenitors in the bone marrow and blood. The disease is further complexed over time with successive genetic alterations leading to more aggressive forms of CML.

Therapy Development for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML)

The global chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) therapeutics market was valued at approximately USD 6.5 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8% from 2023 to 2030. Despite the success of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), challenges such as resistance, intolerance, and late disease progression highlight the need for continued innovation in CML therapeutic development.
