Experimental: All patients
Patients will receive a once-daily oral administration of dasatinib at a dose of 100 mg QD (two 50 mg tablets taken together each day) for the duration of the study with the modifications as indicated. If the platelet count remains above 600,000/microL or the spleen remains enlarged in the absence of leukopenia or other side effects, the dose of dasatinib may be escalated to 120 mg QD (two 50 mg tablets plus one 20 mg tablet taken together each day).
Drug: Dasatinib
Patients will receive a once-daily oral administration of dasatinib at a dose of 100 mg QD (two 50 mg tablets taken together each day) for the duration of the study with the modifications as indicated. If the platelet count remains above 600,000/microL or the spleen remains enlarged in the absence of leukopenia or other side effects, the dose of dasatinib may be escalated to 120 mg QD (two 50 mg tablets plus one 20 mg tablet taken together each day).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame

Time Frame: Lab tests will be performed weekly for the first month, then every 2 weeks for months 2 and 3 and monthly thereafter.
To evaluate the effect of dasatinib on the platelet count and the stabilization of hematocrit when restored by phlebotomy to normal range (HCT <45% for men, <42% for women). Analysis was not completed because the study was terminated early due to lack of efficacy.

Patients will evaluated weekly for the first month, then every two weeks forr months 2 and 3, and monthly thereafter.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Changes in Marrow Cellularity, Reticulin and Fibrous Content
Time Frame: Bone marrow analysis will be performed at baseline and month 6.
To determine changes in marrow cellularity, reticulin and fibrous content. Analysis was not completed because the study was terminated early due to lack of efficacy.
Bone marrow analysis will be performed at baseline and month 6.
Change in Cytogenetics
Time Frame: Cytogenetics analysis will be performed at baseline and month 6.
To determine change in cytogenetics if initially abnormal. Analysis was not completed because the study was terminated early due to lack of efficacy.
