Hi everyone.... Just wondering if any of you have experiences with Tasigna?? Son (now aged 24) on Glivec for 7years, PCR has shown between 4% to 7% cml cells over the last couple of years - pretty stable. However he has just started Tasigna trial here as ONC thinks better response will be achieved. However after first two weeks developed solid rash & liver enzymes elevated. Taken off for 2 weeks recommenced and again, 2 weeks later blood test show liver enzymes up heaps and rash back again. (headaches initially experienced have gone though). Has now been taken off again and when liver enzymes go back to normal will be introduced to 1/2 dose & see if body tolerates it better.
Has anybody had similar experiences? Am worried about stopping and starting drug as don't want his resistance to increase.. We can't get Sprycel here unless in 'advanced stage of CML'. (Australia) Thanks - Gail. -- [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
