| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate the activity of p210-derived peptides vaccinations in terms of BCR-ABL/ ABL ratio reduction at 6 months from the starting of the vaccination program.;Secondary Objective: - to determine the entity of reduction of molecular residual disease observed after immunization; - to determine the entity of reduction of molecular residual disease observed after 2 maintenance three-monthly boosts of vaccine - to determine the rate of complete molecular response observed at any time after immunization; - to determine in vivo and in vitro peptide-specific immune response induced by the vaccinations.;Primary end point(s): To assess the rate of response patients showing a reduction by at least 50 of the peripheral blood BCR-ABL/ABL ratio compared to the individual prevaccine levels at the evaluation after 6th months after immunization and reinforcement boosts persisting at the 9th month after 10th vaccination . | — |
