First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study looked at whether people with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who have been on the drug nilotinib for at least 3 years can safely stop treatment and remain cancer-free. It also tested if adding another drug, asciminib, could help those who needed to restart medication try again to stop. The goal was to see if patients could achieve long-term remission without needing daily pills.
