Personalized dasatinib dosing aims to tame leukemia with fewer side effects
NCT ID NCT01916785
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adjusting the daily dose of the leukemia drug dasatinib based on a patient's blood levels can improve safety and effectiveness. Adults newly diagnosed with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) will receive either standard dosing or a dose tailored to their dasatinib blood levels. The goal is to reduce serious side effects while maintaining control of the cancer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Dasatinib (Sprycel)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could reduce side effects and improve treatment outcomes for people with chronic myeloid leukemia by personalizing their daily dose.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 2 trial, so the strategy may not prove better than standard dosing. There is also a risk of side effects like fluid retention or low blood counts.
