First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether adding a second drug (pegylated interferon) to the standard leukemia medication nilotinib helps people with newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) achieve a deeper molecular response faster. About 200 adults under 65 with early-stage CML took part. The goal was to see if the combination leads to very low levels of cancer genes after one year of treatment.
