Table 2.

The number and percentage of patients followed for a minimum of 12 months tested for CyR (FISH, BM, or both) or MR (including IS and non-IS). Includes assessments performed after index TKI start date, between 30 days and 3, 6 and 12 months, respectively.

The denominator is the total number of patients with a CyR test done with date present.

The proportion of MR tests not on the IS includes ‘no’ and ‘unknown’.

BM: bone marrow; CyR: cytogenetic response; FISH: fluorescence in situ hybridization; IS: international scale; MR: molecular response; TKI: tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
