Molecular response in patients with Ph+ ALL
| Molecular response category* | No. of patients (%) |
|---|---|
| Total no. of patients | 37 |
| MMR | 6 (16.2)† |
| CMR | 25 (67.5) |
| CMR at 3 mo | 8 |
| CMR at 3-6 mo | 5 |
| CMR at >6 mo | 12 |
MMR: ≤0.1% BCR-ABL according to the international scale as measured by real-time qPCR; CMR or MR4.0: detectable disease ≤0.01% BCR-ABL (IS) or undetectable disease in cDNA with ≥10 000 ABL transcripts.
Time of achievement of MMR: 4 patients achieve within 6 mo, other 2 achieve after 6 mo.
