Sustained Complete Molecular Remissions After Treatment With Imatinib-Mesylate in Patients With Failure After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation for Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia: Results of a Prospective Phase II Open-Label Multicenter Study

Abstract

The treatment strategy showed that IM treatment was well-tolerated and highly efficacious in MRD after allogeneic SCT. Moreover, this study demonstrated that evaluation of a molecular end point within a multicenter trial can be a safe and effective tool for clinical decision making.
