Cancer patients get chance to stay on lifesaving drug in new safety study

NCT ID NCT01742299

Summary

This study allows patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) or chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who are already benefiting from the drug imatinib to continue receiving it. The main goal is to collect long-term safety information by monitoring patients for side effects. It is open only to people who have already finished a previous Novartis-sponsored study with imatinib and whose doctor believes they should keep taking it.
