Full Title
Stopping Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKI) to Assess Treatment-Free Remission (TFR) in Pediatric Chronic Myeloid Leukemia - Chronic Phase (CML-CP) (AAML18P1) (CIRB)Purpose
Patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) at very low levels have what is called “molecular remission.” These patients take medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as imatinib, dasatinib, and nilotinib, for the rest of their lives. In this study, researchers want to see if patients who have been in molecular remission for at least two years can stopped taking TKIs and still maintain their remission. Patients will continue to be monitored periodically. If they lose their remission, they will go back on TKI therapy, which may again achieve remission.
