Full Title
A Phase II Study of Dasatinib Therapy in Children and Adolescents with Newly Diagnosed Chronic Phase CML or With Ph+ Leukemias Resistant or Intolerant to Imatinib
Purpose
Dasatinib is an anticancer drug approved for the treatment of adults with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) or Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome-positive leukemia and who are not benefiting from or cannot tolerate conventional treatments such as imatinib. In this study, researchers want to evaluate the effectiveness of dasatinib in children and adolescents newly diagnosed with CML OR with Ph-positive leukemias resistant to or intolerant of imatinib.
Dasatinib works by interfering with the signaling pathways cancers need to grow. It is a medicine that is taken by mouth.
