      David Wallace

      Founder & CEO of MPN Cancer Connection and PV Reporter | Patient Advocate

      When David was diagnosed with PV in 2009, at the age of 47, he soon learned there was limited and often conflicting information available on Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs). He also realized early on in his diagnosis, the importance of advocating for himself to best manage his polycythemia vera (PV). David was grateful for the early support and guidance of fellow MPN patients on his journey and wanted a way to give back to the MPN community. With a professional background in business administration and sociology, David has a passion for finding solutions and helping others. In 2013, David used his skill set to create PV Reporter,
      a comprehensive patient-focused website for MPNs. David refers to his site as a hub for patients to begin to research their cancer. Whether a patient, caregiver or healthcare provider, PV Reporter offers visitors a wealth of educational resources, patient stories, articles, and the latest news on the treatment for MPNs, helping MPN patients and their caregivers stay informed, connected and empowered. In 2015, along with the help of others, David founded a non-profit MPN Cancer Connection (MPN-CC), a patient-led 501©3 formed to create awareness that MPN patients are “cancer patients” and should have complete access to local and national programs and benefits. David’s philosophy is to educate patients to become their own advocates so that they can make informed decisions on their treatment. David’s dedication to the MPN community is further evidenced through his work and awards:
      • Selected to endorse 2018 NCCN guidelines for MPN patients by MPN Cancer Connection
      • Selected to represent the United States as a patient advocate by MPNs Advocate Network International Conference 2016-2019
      • Recipient of MPN Hero Award 2016
      • Published in MD Anderson Cancer Center MPN Focus Newsletter Fall 2016
      • Appearance on “The Doctors” TV show in 2015 to promote MPN awareness
      • Awarded Press Credentials for American Society of Hematology Conference 2014-2019
      • Contributor to Patient Power MPN educational videos
      David lives in Charlotte, North Carolina. When he’s not working, David enjoys spending time with family, listening to live music, attending outdoor festivals, watching the Carolina Panthers, riding his motorcycle, traveling and of course having his beloved Aussiedoodle Bailey by his side.

All other substrates of the enzymes should be used with caution.
  • - H2 antagonists/proton-pump inhibitors.
  • - Grapefruit products are not permitted while on study.
  • - Because the lists of these agents are constantly changing, it is important to regularly consult a frequently-updated list such as http://medicine.
iupui.edu/clinpharm/ddis/table.aspx; medical reference texts such as the Physicians' Desk Reference may also provide this information. As part of the enrollment/informed consent procedures, the patient will be counseled on the risk of interactions with other agents, and what to do if new medications need to be prescribed or if the patient is considering a new over-the-counter medicine or herbal product.
  • - Corrected QT interval (QTc) of > 480 milliseconds (ms) on baseline electrocardiogram (ECG) (using corrected QT interval per institutional standard).

  • - History of significant congenital or acquired bleeding disorder unrelated to cancer.
  • - Unable to comply with an oral regimen.
  • - Are pregnant or nursing at the time of screening.
Pregnant women are excluded from this study because ABL001 is an agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with ABL001, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with ABL001. These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study. Urine or serum pregnancy test must be performed within 14 days of Day 1 for women of childbearing potential

Additional Details

This research study is a Phase I clinical trial, which tests the safety of an investigational drug and also tries to define the appropriate dose of the investigational drug to use for further studies. "Investigational" means that the drug is being studied. There is currently no clinical data on the effects of ABL001 in combination with dasatinib and prednisone among adults with Ph+ B-ALL or CML in lymphoid blast crisis. However, there is data on the use of ABL001 in combination with dasatinib (without steroids) in patients with relapsed Ph+ B-ALL and Ph+ chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Dasatinib (Sprycel®) is currently approved for the treatment in newly diagnosed adults with Ph+ CML in chronic phase (CP), adults with chronic, accelerated, or myeloid or lymphoid blast phase Ph+ CML with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy including imatinib, adults with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy. ABL001 is a newly discovered compound. This drug has been used in laboratory experiments and information from those experiments suggest that this drug may have beneficial effects in people who have CML or Ph+ ALL, both of which are a certain type of cancer of the blood cells. The reason for this study is to learn whether ABL001 is safe and can have possible benefits for people with Ph+ ALL who are also being treated with dasatinib and prednisone, two drugs which are commonly used to treat Ph+ ALL. All participants in this study will receive all three drugs. Prednisone and dasatinib are both FDA approved and standard of care for participants with your disease. They are not considered investigational on this study. However, ABL001 is being tested in combination with these drugs. Biomarker testing will also be included in this study. Biomarkers are important biological "indicators" of whether a drug is working which can be measured from bone marrow and blood samples. In addition, blood and bone marrow samples may be tested to try to learn more about the cancer, and to understand how the drug may be working in cancer.
