aThese are selected studies focusing on pivotal trials

c268 patients were randomized to each arm; however, 54 failed screening; 3 patients randomly assigned to imatinib arm were not treated

dPatients were resistant or intolerant to imatinib

e45% if measured only by metaphase analysis and excluding fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis and also excluding MCyR responders who had an MCyR at baseline or who had a missing cytogenetic analysis at baseline

f56% for imatinib-resistant patients and 66% for imatinib-intolerant patients

gMolecular response was assessed in 294 of the 321 patients
