From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SPIRIT 2 is a randomized phase 3 clinical in patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia being conducted in the United Kingdom. The study compares the use of imatinib (the standard of care for CML Patients in the UK since 2003) with dasatinib, a second generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in patientd newly diagnosed with CML. It is the only first-line study to have long term (in this case 5 year) survival as the primary endpoint.
