Achievement of MMR by month 12 is directly associated with improved survival1

MMR versus >1% on the international scale at 12 months showed better Overall survival

• OS (99% [95% CI, 97% to 100%] vs 93% [95% CI, 90% to 96%]; P=0.0011) at 3 years
• No difference was observed in the group with (0.1% to <1% on the international scale; OS, 98% [95% CI, 95% to 100%])

 

Objective & Methods:

 

A German CML Study Group conducted a randomized treatment optimization trial in newly diagnosed patients with CP-CML with regard to cytogenetic and molecular remission rates, survival, and toxicity. The first primary end point was the rate of major molecular remission (MMR) at 12 months

MMR and Progression-free survival over years2

Patients who reached 0.1% BCR-ABL1IS (MMR) at 12 months had significantly better
progression-free survival than those who did not2
