Several clinical trials are ongoing currently with compounds targeted for FGF2; a phase III study was designed to compare the safety and efficacy of a multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor, masitinib, in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone to placebo in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone in patients with relapsing multiple myeloma. The gene discussed is FGF2; the disease is AL amyloidosis.
