Dasatinib
This research is being done because dasatinib has been shown to achieve a deep molecular response in patients as compared to imatinib. Patients in this study will continue to take their own supply of imatinib for three months to ensure they have achieved a stable response to the drug. Once this has been confirmed, imatinib will be stopped and the patients in this study will then be monitored to see if their CML relapses. This period can last up to 2.5 years. If the participant has a relapse, they will be started on dasatinib and will continue to receive dasatinib for up to 2 years. If after one year they achieve a response, they will continue on dasatinib for one more year. If the participant maintains this response, they will have the option of discontinuing dasatinib.
