Leukemia patients try life without daily pills in groundbreaking 'Drug Holiday' study
NCT ID NCT04626024
First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated Apr 07, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study is testing whether some patients with a type of leukemia called CML, who have been in a very deep remission for years while taking daily TKI pills, can safely stop taking those pills and stay in remission. Researchers will monitor 100 patients closely after they stop their medication to see if the cancer returns and to understand who is most likely to succeed without the drugs. The goal is to allow eligible patients to live free from daily medication and its side effects and costs, if it is safe to do so.
