CP indicates chronic phase; AP, accelerated phase; CE, clonal evolution; BP, blast phase; MyBP, myeloid blast phase; LyBP, lymphoid blast phase; no., number; f/up, follow up; mo, months; Rx, treatment; respon, response; EFS, event-free survival (in months); CHR, complete hematologic response; CCyR, complete cytogenetic response; PCyR, partial cytogenetic response; MCyR, major cytogenetic response; CyR, cytogenetic response; MMR, major molecular response; CMR, complete molecular response; NR, no response; SCT, stem cell transplantation; Allo, allogeneic SCT; Auto, autologous SCT; IFN, interferon; TKI, tyrosine kinase inhibitor; IM, imatinib; Nilot, nilotinib; Dasat, dasatinib; Bosu, bosutinib; I+A, idarubicin + Ara-C (cytarabine); HD AraC, high-dose Ara-C; 2-CdA, 2 chlorodexoyadenosine; Mitox, mitoxantrone; KW-2449, investigational new drug; HCVAD, hyperfractionated cyclophosphamide, vincristine, adriamycin, dexamethasone; MTX, methotrexate; mets, metastasis; and —, none.

Patient 1 received 50 salvage with nilotinib in AP and achieved CHR for 12 months, then received sixth salvage with dasatinib in MyBP and had no response.
