The DASTOP2 study aims to retreat patients who relapse in the Euro-SKI study (or who stopped TKI treatment outside trials but according to EURO-SKI procedures), with TKI for at least another 3 years, out of last two years with dasatinib. If MR4 or better is re-achieved and maintained for at least one year, patients will be eligible for a second stop. After verification of MR4, TKI treatment will be stopped and patients followed in the same manner as after first stop. If MMR is lost (BCR-ABL >0.1% (IS)), TKI treatment will once again be restarted.~Patients exhibiting hematological relapse after first stop attempt will not be offered a second stop within this study. The same applies to patients in whom TKI was restarted prematurely (without loss of MMR).
This study will enroll CML patients who have failed a first TKI stopping attempt. After failure and at least a year of TKI treatment, patients will proceed to dasatinib treatment for another 2 years. If MR4 or better is re-achieved and maintained for at least one year, patients will be eligible for a second stop. After verification of MR4, TKI treatment will be stopped and patients followed in the same manner as after first stop. If MMR is lost (BCR-ABL >0.1% (IS)), TKI treatment will once again be restarted.
