Title Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Probability of Retaining Major Molecular Response (MMR) at Month 48
Hide Description The Kaplan-Meier curve was generated based on the first date of MMR until the date of the confirmed loss of MMR or censoring, objectively documented, for responders only. Confirmed loss of MMR was BCR-ABL/ABL IS ratio >0.1% in association with a >=5-fold increase in BCR-ABL/ABL IS ratio from the lowest value achieved up to that time-point confirmed by a second assessment at least 28 days later. Treatment discontinuation due to suboptimal response/treatment failure, progressive disease (PD) or death due to PD within 28 days of last dose were considered confirmed loss of MMR. PD was defined as disease progression to accelerated phase (AP) or blast phase (BP) CML.

Title Cumulative Incidence of Event Free Survival (EFS) Events
Hide Description EFS was defined as time from randomization to death due to any cause, transformation to AP or BP at any time, confirmed loss of complete hematologic response (CHR), confirmed loss of CCyR or censoring. Loss of CHR was defined as a hematologic assessment of non-CHR (chronic phase, AP, or BP) confirmed by 2 assessments at least 4 weeks apart. Loss of CHR was defined as appearance of any of the following: WBC count that rises to >20.0*10^9/L, platelet count rises to >=600*10^9/L, appearance of palpable spleen or other extramedullary involvement proven by biopsy, appearance of 5% myelocytes in peripheral blood, appearance of blasts or promyelocytes in peripheral blood. Loss of CCyR was defined as at least 1 Ph+ metaphase from analysis of <100 metaphases confirmed by follow up cytogenetic analysis after 1 month. Cumulative incidence of EFS was defined as percentage of participants with EFS event at Month 60 and was adjusted for competing risk of treatment discontinuation without event.

Title Summary of Trough Plasma Concentration by Presence of Grade 3 or Higher Adverse Events (AEs) of Bosutinib
Hide Description An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. AE was assessed according to maximum severity grading based on NCI CTCAE version 4.0. Grade 1= mild; Grade 2= moderate; within normal limits, Grade 3= severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; Grade 4= life-threatening or disabling; urgent intervention indicated; Grade 5= death. Trough plasma concentration of participants who had grade 3 or higher AE are presented in this outcome measure. Data of plasma concentration is reported separately for each preferred term of AE.
