Breakthrough trial aims to free CML patients from lifelong medication

NCT ID NCT03874858

Summary

This study tested a two-step approach to help people with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) live without daily medication. First, it tried reducing the dose of their standard drug (nilotinib). If that didn't work, it tested adding a new drug (asciminib) to try again. The goal was to see if patients could safely stop treatment while keeping their cancer under control.
