Guest guest Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Tracey, I think that you had sent the site about all of the trials for CML. I did write to one in Michigan for the Interferon and Gleevec one. (Dr. Talpaz is running it.) Well, I'm not eligible for that one as I have all ready been on INF, but they are interested in putting me on one to stop my treatment all together! It has not been approved yet, but should be in a few months. Dr. Talpaz feels that they do not know of the long term effects of Gleevec, and if you are PCR negative for a long period of time, maybe you can stop. I know the Giora tried this at one point and failed, but it is worth considering as I was on INF for a total of about 3 1/2 years. I would love to hear what others think of this.
