Transcript:
Yvonne: Now this is the very first day – fact is it's June of '98. I don't have the exact date, is when the clinical trials started and Bud was the first patient to take this and it was 25 milligrams. And there is a picture that was taken of him and Dr. Druker wishing him luck so we're pretty proud of that picture. And then this guy over here, he's showing you what the pill looks like so at that time it was a number but now it's known at Gleevec™.
Bud: Yeah STI-571.
