The multivariate model used age, ln(BAP) and the PET parameter. For association with PFS multiple linear regression was used as the data were not censored. PFS days are the number of days corresponding to a 1-SD increase in the PET parameter, and SE is the standard error of Days. Cox proportional hazard modeling was used to determine association of the multivariate model to OS, where 4 patients were censored. The hazard ratio (HR) is the associated hazard ratio corresponding to a 1-SD increase in the PET parameter. The lesion-level analyses were performed on 17 patients at baseline (indicated by 1 after the parameter), while change on-dasatinib was determined on 14 of the 17 patients. The patient-level whole-body QTBI analyses were performed on 16 patients at baseline, while change was determined on 12 of the 16 patients. Boldface type indicates a significant (p ≤ 0.05) association with outcome.
