Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- evaluate the effects of multiple doses of nilotinib on the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of midazolam in CML patients. [2 weeks]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of nilotinib when midazolam is co-administered orally in CML patients. [2 weeks]
- Monitoring of safety of nilotinib during the extension study phase. [12 months]
Eligibility Criteria
