Observational Study on Personality and CML Treatment Adherence

This observational study is looking at how a person's personality might affect how well they stick to their medication schedule for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Researchers want to see if there's a connection between personality and taking tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) medicines like imatinib, dasatinib, bosutinib, or nilotinib as prescribed. You could join if you are 18 or older, have CML in the chronic phase, and are currently taking one of these TKI medications. The study will assess how well you take your medication, your personality, and your quality of life over a period of up to one year. This study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
