First seen May 20, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looked at 31 adults with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) whose cancer came back after they stopped taking imatinib. They were given nilotinib, a more powerful targeted drug, to see if it could make their cancer undetectable again and allow them to stop treatment for a longer time. The goal was to find out how many patients could stay cancer-free three years after restarting therapy.
