  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.

Evaluating Efficacy and Safety of Flumatinib Versus Nilotinib for Chronic Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia(CML-CP) Without Optimal Response (Warning,Failure) to Imatinib or Dasatinib

Study Purpose

Imatinib has revolutionized the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and is the current standard of care in the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed CML. However, about 30% of patients still show drug resistance or disease progression. Currently, the most widely studied mechanism of TKI resistance in CML patients is mutations in the ABL kinase region. So far, more than 100 kinase domain mutations have been found in disease progression and imatinib resistance. It is estimated that more than 25% of CML patients will change TKI at least once in their lifetime due to drug resistance or intolerance. The 2020 edition of the "Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in China" proposes that patients with F317L/V/I/C, V299L and T315A mutations are more likely to obtain clinical efficacy by switching to the second-generation TKI nilotinib; patients with Y253H, E255K/V and F359C/V/I mutations are more likely to obtain clinical efficacy by switching to the second-generation TKI dasatinib; patients with T315I mutations are resistant to both nilotinib and dasatinib. Flumatinib has been shown to be a more potent inhibitor of BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase than imatinib. In vitro studies, it has shown that flumatinib inhibits wild-type and common BCR-ABL mutations(Q252H, V299L, F317L/I, M351T, H396P, etc.) more potently, and the anti-mutation spectrum of flumatinib is similar to nilotinib. Therefore, this study is designed to provide clearer guidance for patients with suboptimal response or failure in the treatment of TKI as well as those who have specific ABL kinase domain mutations during CML treatment.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Observational
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over
Gender	All

Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
