Therapy of Early Chronic Phase CML With Gleevec

Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to see if imatinib mesylate (Gleevec, STI571) can improve CML in chronic phase. Objectives: Primary Objective: To increase the proportion of patients achieving a complete cytogenetic response in patients with Ph-positive early chronic phase CML using initial Gleevec therapy. Secondary Objective: To evaluate the duration of cytogenetic response, duration of hematologic response and survival.
