NCT ID NCT02917720

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 34 times

Summary

This study looks at whether the drug nilotinib can help people with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) stay in remission after stopping their usual treatment for a second or third time. About 75 adults who previously tried and failed to stop TKI therapy will take nilotinib for at least two years, then try stopping again. The goal is to see how long they can remain cancer-free without restarting medication.
