Hi Mike, Our doctor told me long ago that BMS would have a trial for Gleevec patients in CCR but who were not going down in PCR values anymore. I don't see those trials being done by BMS, seems to me it would be good if Gleevec patients with good responses could take Sprycel in a trial setting to see at what dose they tolerate the drug well at the same time maintain their remission or go down in PCR values. You may be right, there may be a reason why Bristol-Myers-Squibb did not conduct these trials. Or could it be that since the drug is FDA approved, they felt that doctors could prescribe it to their patients outside a trial setting and they could save the money by not supplying free drugs in the trial?
For all I know, these trials may still be pending, just wonder why its taking so long.
