Second STOP After Pioglitazone Priming in CML Patients

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Single-center study, prospective, phase II trial. The study objectives are : To assess safety and pharmacokinetics of the combination of PIO and TKI in CML subjects who experience a loss of MMR following a first TKI discontinuation. To assess survival without loss of MMR over a 12 months period following a second TKI discontinuation in subjects who achieve or maintain < MR4.5 with the combination PIO and TKI administered for at least 6 months.

Official Title

Conditions
-----------------
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML)

Intervention / Treatment
-----------------
* Drug: Pioglitazone + TKI
