Exploring treatment without drugs after combining Ruxolitinib and Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors.

Phase 2
This study tests if adding **Ruxolitinib** (a medicine) to a **Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI)** helps people with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) stay in remission longer after stopping TKI. CML is a blood cancer where the bone marrow makes too many white blood cells. Participants must have tried to stop TKI before but had to restart it. The study lasts about 48 months. For 12 months, participants take both Ruxolitinib and TKI. Then, for up to 36 months, participants will be monitored without taking TKI. Tests like central polymerase chain reaction (PCR) will check their health for the first 24 months of this phase.
  • Study Length: Approximately 48 months
  • Visits and Tests: Regular PCR testing for the first 24 months of treatment-free phase
  • Eligibility: Must have CML, previously stopped a TKI, and meet other health criteria
Participants must be able to follow the study's guidelines and attend all appointments. They should not have other health issues that interfere with the study, be pregnant, or have had certain treatments before.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?
