AFR10 - Combination Therapy of Imatinib Mesylate (IM) + Alpha-2A Interferon for Chronic Phase CML Patients Resistant or Refractory to IM Used as Single Therapy for at Least One Year

April 26, 2007 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon

A Phase II Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Tolerance of Combination Therapy of Imatinib Mesylate (IM) +-2A Interféron for Chronic Phase CML Patients Resistant or Refractory to IM Used as Single Therapy for at Least One Year

Sixty % of CML patients treated by Imatinib mesylate achieved a major cytogenetic responses (CCR) at 18 months. So, 40% of the patients must receive additional treatment. In vitro, it has been shown that IM and Interféron-alpha have synergic anti-proliferative effect on chromosome Ph+ cell lines. By using Peg-Interféron and IM combination, we hope to increase the cytogenetic response of patients.
