In a developing country like Algeria expensive therapies are not available. Alternative approaches are needed. In Algeria Imatib (imatinib: CIPLA-India) was introduced in 2006; however, no study has been published yet in the North Africa region regarding response and outcome of this generic drug in chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) patients. Therefore, researchers from the Service d’Hématologie in Algeria and France carried out a multicentre study in newly diagnosed adult CML patients in the western region of Algeria. The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness and safety of Imatib as a frontline therapy for patients with CML [1].
