Trial Notes:
This phase II trial (Z9000) of adjuvant Gleevec enrolled 106 patients beginning in September, 2001. The trial is ongoing but not recruiting new patients.
Patients were given Gleevec for one year and then followed. This trial has some of the longest follow-up of the adjuvant trials and thus some of the better data on what happens to patients after they stop taking imatinib. The Z9001 phase III adjuvant trial had a placebo so it demonstrates the large advantage that Gleevec has in preventing (or delaying) a recurrence; however the follow-up time is not as long.
