Official Title: An Open Label, Time-To-Event Continuous Reassessment Method, Phase I/II Study of the Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) Inhibitor RAD001 in Combination With Imatinib (Gleevec) in Patients With Chronic Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) With Persistent Molecular Disease.
Study ID: NCT01188889
Brief Summary: Patients participating in this study will have a diagnosis of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. This study will evaluate whether the addition of an investigational drug called RAD001 given together with Imatinib will better target leukemia stem cells, causing them to die. Stem cells are a small population of cells, existing primarily within the bone marrow, and are believed to be responsible for the ongoing risk of disease relapse.
