PCR levels after stopping TKI's

hello, is there anyone out there not on tkis with a stable (low) pcr level? You may have been on the STIM trial?
If so what is your pcr level and how long have you been off the tkis?
Thanks

Not quite relevant, but I had been taking Imatinib 400mg for six and a half years when I stopped because of particular side effects. My PCR results after the first year had settled to around 0.003% with a few zeros thrown in for almost all that time. I stopped in November 2013. My PCR levels rose in a roughly quadratic curve to nearly 0.3% by the end of May 2014. I then went back on Imatinib 300mg and my PCR level had fallen to 0.076% by mid-September. Another test next week when I hope it will have fallen to around 0.040%

Not what you wanted to hear, but may be of interest to someone.
