About AML
AML is the most common acute leukemia in adults. A cancer of the
bone marrow, nearly 21,000 people in the United States are
diagnosed with AML each year. Despite the availability of multiple
treatments, disease prognosis is poor, and new treatment options
are needed to improve outcomes. Newly diagnosed AML has the lowest
5-year survival rate of all leukemias at 31.7%. The five-year
survival rate for people with relapsed/refractory disease is only
10%.
About Uproleselan
Discovered and developed by GlycoMimetics, uproleselan (yoo’ pro
le’se lan) is an investigational, first-in-class E-selectin
antagonist. GlycoMimetics has received Breakthrough Therapy and
Fast Track designations from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) and Breakthrough Therapy designation from the Chinese
National Medical Products Administration for uproleselan as a
potential treatment for adult AML patients with relapsed or
refractory disease. E-selectin is a leukocyte adhesion molecule
constitutively expressed on endothelial cells of the vasculature
and bone marrow. In AML, there is evidence that E-selectin–ligand
interaction between endothelial cells in the protective niche of
the Bone Marrow microEnvironment (BME) and leukemic stem cells and
blasts promotes leukemic cell survival and hides them from AML
therapies. Uproleselan is designed to disrupt E-selectin binding
and prevent leukemic myeloid cells using the protective niche of
the BME.
