Study Summary

This trial is comparing BMS-354825 to imatinib mesylate to see which is more effective in treating chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) who didn't respond to imatinib mesylate. Participants must have specific blood and bone marrow conditions, not be eligible for stem cell transplantation, and can't have certain mutations or severe side effects from previous treatments.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares BMS-354825 with imatinib mesylate in patients whose CML did not improve after prior treatment with imatinib. It aims to see which drug better stops cancer cells by blocking enzymes needed for their growth.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include issues related to organ function, bleeding disorders, heart problems like arrhythmias or heart block, high blood pressure, and possibly other significant health complications.
