BMS-354825 or Imatinib Mesylate in Treating Patients With Chronic Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia That Did Not Respond to Previous Imatinib Mesylate

Summary

RATIONALE: BMS-354825 and imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying BMS-354825 to see how well it works compared to imatinib mesylate in treating patients with chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia that did not respond to previous imatinib mesylate.
