Study Summary

This trial will compare the different tyrosine kinase inhibitors, with and without ruxolitinib, to see how well they work in treating patients with chronic myeloid leukemia.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for chronic myeloid leukemia patients who've been on tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) like bosutinib, dasatinib, imatinib or nilotinib for at least a year. They should have stable vital signs and organ function, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, agree to use contraception, and not have HIV with detectable viral loads. Prior cancer is okay if no active treatment is needed.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests adding Ruxolitinib—a drug that blocks growth factors necessary for leukemia cells—to the usual TKI treatments. It's a phase II randomized trial aiming to see if this combination better reduces leukemia cell counts compared to TKI alone.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Ruxolitinib may cause side effects such as low blood counts leading to increased infection risk, bleeding problems, dizziness or headaches. Other possible issues include liver enzyme changes and gastrointestinal symptoms.
