Résumé

Nilotinib is now recommended for patients with newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukaemia in chronic phase and leads to important rates of molecular response 4·5 log (MR(4·5)), allowing the prospect of therapy cessation. However, most patients do not reach this criterion and nilotinib is taken for lengthy periods, resulting in chronic or late-onset adverse events. Nilotinib combined with interferon might further increase rates of MR(4·5), avoid late side-effects, and allow therapy cessation. In a phase 2 trial we aimed to assess the feasibility, safety, and deep molecular response of the combination of nilotinib (600 mg daily) and peginterferon alfa-2a in newly diagnosed patients with chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML).
