If Your Current CML Treatment Is Not Working

  • For people living with CML, achieving and maintaining a complete cytogenetic response (CCyR; 0% Philadelphia chromosomes) is the goal of CML treatment. A CCyR means that there are no cells with the Philadelphia chromosome detected through cytogenetic testing. If your current CML treatment does not help you achieve and maintain your treatment goals, it could mean that your chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) may be resistant to your medication
  • If you are resistant, it is important that you and your treatment team take action promptly to ensure your CML does not progress to the accelerated or blast phase
  • If your current CML treatment is not helping you achieve recommended milestones, ask your doctor what can be done to improve your test results. Your doctor has several choices, such as altering current treatment—for example, increasing the dose—or using a different CML treatment
