About this trial
In recent years, the goal of stopping drug therapy, also known as treatment-free remission (TFR), is emerging as one of the management goals of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) therapy. Because there is no available data on Asian patients with CML undergoing tyrosine kinase inhibitor discontinuation (TKI), the investigators plan to recruit chronic phase CML patients with deep treatment response and good medical compliance in Taiwan to evaluate the feasibility, safety and clinical consequences of TKI discontinuation.
