Summary

The primary goal of this study was to determine the rate of confirmed best cumulative complete molecular response (CMR) within the first year of study therapy with imatinib or nilotinib. The study also explored the impact and significance of the achieved CMR on patient outcomes (progression free survival (PFS), event free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS), characterized the kinetics of CMR achieved in both treatment arms and after the cross-over.
