Late Chronic Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia

Summary

Objectives: Primary endpoints: To achieve low levels of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) ratios of B-cell antigen receptor (Bcr-Abl)/Bcr (molecular CR) in a significant proportion of patients after 12 months of higher doses (800 mg daily) of Gleevec therapy To increase the proportion of patients achieving a complete cytogenetic response in patients with Ph-positive chronic phase CML using initial higher dose Gleevec therapy. Secondary endpoints: To evaluate the durations of PCR negativity, cytogenetic response, hematologic control, and survival. To analyze differences in response rates and in prognosis within different risk groups and patient characteristics
