mmr still after 5 years

Categories:

Hi
Since June 2021 in MMR. In March 2023 in mr4.0. but now back in MMR. Bcrabl 0.05IS.

Still on imatinib 600.

What to do next?

Consider drug rotation:

From the article:
"Moreover, the simulations give credence to the suggestion that lower drug concentrations may achieve better results following major molecular response in CML."

Changing to a low dose second-line drug may very well wipe out residual disease (resistant clones to imatinib).

I will discuss this in september with my hematologist.
