Study Groups

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients
CML patients undergoing first-line tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy
EMPATHY Pilot
The goal of this pilot is to develop and pilot a tailored monitoring intervention targeting symptomatic, Patient-reported adverse events (AEs) in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) Patients undergoing first-line tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy. The tailored monitoring intervention will draw primarily from the PRO-CTCAE Item Library, with additional items drawn from the FACIT and EORTC Item libraries as necessary. After identifying the full set of AEs to be monitored, we will load the Patient assessment and report program into tablets for electronic administration in the busy clinic setting. We will then pilot a six-month intervention aimed to monitor and manage emerging AEs, coupled with assessment of intervention feasibility, Patient acceptability and satisfaction, provider acceptability and clinical management utility, adherence to TKI therapy, and HRQoL. We expect that adherence to therapy, clinical response, and HRQoL will be enhanced by such an intervention.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
2. Newly diagnosed chronic phase (CP)-CML Patients planned to receive one of the following TKI approved as first line treatment: imatinib, dasatinib, nilotinib or bosutinib;
3. Adult Patients (≥18 years) at the time of study entry; Children under the age of 18 will be excluded from the study. The exclusion of children is justified by the following circumstances: a) The condition is relatively rare in children, as compared to adults; b) Issues of study preclude direct applicability of hypotheses and/or interventions to both adults and children.
4. Written informed consent.
5. Written informed consent from Patient's physician as a participant.
6. Newly diagnosed Chronic Phase (CP)-CML Patients who are within 4 weeks of first line TKI therapy (anyone of the TKI approved in the USA and Europe, that is: imatinib, dasatinib, nilotinib or bosutinib).
7. Ability to read/converse in English (Northwestern University and Augusta University Sites). Ability to read/converse in Italian (GIMEMA Centers).
Please note that Physician consent is requisite for the Patient to be enrolled as a participant in the study.
Exclusion Criteria
2. Having received any CML treatment - other than TKI - for more than 3 months prior to receiving current TKI therapy.
1. Major cognitive deficits or psychiatric problems hampering a self-reported evaluation
2. Having received any CML treatment prior to therapy with imatinib, dasatinib, bosutinib or nilotinib for more than three months
