Personalizing leukemia drug doses could boost treatment success

NCT ID NCT02896842

First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial investigates whether adjusting the dose of imatinib (Gleevec) based on the drug's level in the blood can improve outcomes for people newly diagnosed with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Participants whose imatinib blood level is low after 28 days are randomly assigned to either have their dose adjusted or continue the standard dose. The study aims to see if dose personalization leads to a higher rate of major molecular response at 12 months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
imatinib mesylate (Gleevec/Glivec)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that personalizing imatinib doses based on blood levels leads to better disease control for people with chronic myeloid leukemia.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-stage trial with a modest size, so results may not be conclusive. Dose adjustments could also increase side effects without improving outcomes.
