| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To assess the efficacy of pioglitazone therapy in combination with imatinib in CML patients with residual molecular disease after imatinib monotherapy.;Secondary Objective: A. To determine the safety of pioglitazone therapy in combination with imatinib B. To assess the biological activity of the combination in vivo C. To investigate the relationship between biological activity and efficacy of the combination D. To determine the duration of effect in term of molecular response E. To document the rate of progression free survival and overall survival. F. To discontinue therapy in patients in complete molecular response for 2 years after the initiation of pioglitazone. ;Primary end point(s): The rate of patients achieving a complete molecular response (Sensitivity 10-5 or Bcr-Abl/Abl ratio < 0.001 %) 24 weeks after the initiation of pioglitazone, confirmed on by a second determination 2 months later. | — |
