Abstract
For patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) failing imatinib therapy, second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are recommended. Here, we describe two patients with advanced CML who failed imatinib therapy and did not tolerate the recommended dose of dasatinib, but then achieved a major molecular response with the combination of imatinib and dasatinib with no significant extramedullary toxicity. Our observations suggest that combination of TKIs may provide an additive/synergistic antileukemic effect.
