    Title:

    Pilot Prospective Phase II Study of Nilotinib Combined with Chemotherapy for Myeloid Blastic Phase of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia or Acute Myeloid Leukemia with BCR/ABL1

    Excerpt:
    A total of 10 (6 male & 4 female) patients were enrolled. Six patients were diagnosed as CML-MBP and 4 patients as AML-BCR/ABL1….CR was achieved in all (CR in 9 patients and CRi in 1) patients….In conclusion, nilotinib combined with IC is feasible and can be a good bridging therapy for these extremely rare CML-MBP or AML-BCR/ABL1 if they are IC-eligible...
