study which updated the estimates of survival and cost effectiveness for imatinib against interferon-伪 plus low-dose cytarabine among patients with chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). 60-month survival data from the International Randomized study of Interferon versus STI571 (IRIS) was used...
Treatment protocols for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) are provided below for chronic phase, accelerated phase, and blast phase. General treatment recommendations for chronic myelogenous leukemia Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the drugs of choice for initial therapy of CML. [1] Imatinib was...
In Western countries, 90% of patients with CML are diagnosed in the chronic phase. These patients’ white blood cell (WBC) count is usually controlled with medication (hematologic remission). For most patients with chronic-phase CML who are treated with TKIs, median survival is expected to appr...
One thousand five hundred twenty-four patients with BCR-ABL-positive chronic phase CML were divided into four age groups: (1) 16–29years,n=120; (2) 30–44years,n=383; (3) 45–59years,n=495; and (4)≥60years,n=526. Group 1 (adolescents and young adults (AYAs)) presented with ...
To date, 200 "first generation" autologous transplantsfor the treatment of CML have been performed at eight centersin Europe and North America. In this group of patients, the survivalrate (at a median of 4 years post-transplant) for those with chronicphase CML was 59%, Dr. McGlave reporte...
Introduction:Historically, treatments for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) are palliative, except for bone marrow allograft. Despite the results obtained using imatinib, a first-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), some patients (pts) have weak responses. The second-generation TKIs dasatinib and ...
June 12, 2006 (Atlanta) -- Patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) continue to have high rates of progression-free and overall survival even after 5 years of treatment with imatinib (Gleevec, Novartis), according to a group of investigators that presented its findings here at the 42nd...
States, there are approximately 6,000 new cases of CML each year, with one-fourth of patients dying within two years. CML is divided into three stages: chronic phase, accelerated phase, and blast crisis phase, with an average survival of only 2-3 months in patients in blast crisis phase....
The stage of disease at transplantation was: first chronic phase (n=10), second chronic phase (n=2), accelerated phase (n=2), and blastic crisis (n=2). The progression rate was significantly lower in patients treated with IM than in those treated without IM (0 vs. 28.6%, p=0.006)....
