Condition Vasoregulation Function Endothelium in Patients With CML Getting TKI II Generation Bosutinib

The study will study the state of the endothelium in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia during therapy with the II generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor bosutinib. Patients will be divided into groups receiving nilotinib 800mg/day, bosutinib 500mg/day, and imatinib 600mg/day. A comprehensive examination of patients will be carried out, including a clinical examination, a study of biochemical markers of endothelial damage and the functional state of the vascular wall. An algorithm will be developed for assessing the state of endothelial function in patients with ph-positive chronic myeloid leukemia in the chronic phase when using the second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor bosutinib.

Multicenter Trial Estimating the Persistence of Molecular Remission in Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia in Long Term After Stopping Imatinib

Background: Complete molecular remission under imatinib, therapeutic interruption possible for patients in complete remission proved in different trials. Purpose: Stopping imatinib in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in complete molecular remission during two following years. The objectives of this study are to determine the rate of patients without a molecular relapse and so the rate of molecular relapse, to determine and to seek for clinical and biological CML-related factors predictive for a molecular relapse after imatinib discontinuation. These objectives require to increase the number of study patients to be enrolled for accurate statistical considerations. It will allow to predict which patients have to be proposed for discontinuation without risk of molecular relapse and to select the patients who need to continue or reinforce the treatment to achieve a complete long term eradication of the disease.
