Percent of Participants With MCyR At or Prior to 24 Months Follow-Up
CyR was based on the number of Ph+ metaphases among cells in metaphase on a Bone Marrow (BM) sample. The criteria for CyR were as follows: CCyR: 0% Ph+ cells in metaphase in BM; PCyR: >0 to 35% Ph+ cells in metaphase in BM; Minor cytogenetic response: >35 to 65% Ph+ cells in metaphase in BM; Minimal cytogenetic response: >65 to 95% Ph+ cells in metaphase in BM; No cytogenetic response: >95 to 100% Ph+ cells in metaphase in BM; Best CyR was defined as the best response obtained at any time during the study; MCyR was defined as a best CyR of CCyR or PCyR. Baseline=closest to, but no later than, the first day of study drug for treated participants and closest to, but no later than, the date of randomization, for those who were randomized but who never received treatment, unless otherwise specified.
Percent of Participants With Complete Hematologic Response (CHR) at 6 and 24 Months Follow-Up
A complete hematologic response (CHR) was obtained when all the following criteria were met: White Blood Cells (WBC) ≤ institutional upper limit of normal (ULN); Platelets < 450,000/mm³; No blasts or promyelocytes in peripheral blood (PB); < 5% myelocytes plus metamyelocytes in PB; Basophils in PB < 20%; No extramedullary involvement (including no splenomegaly or hepatomegaly). Hematologic responses were counted anytime following 14 days after the dosing start date.
Time to MCyR in Participants With MCyR at 6 Months Follow-Up
Time to MCyR was defined as the time from the first dosing date until criteria were first met for CCyR or PCyR, whichever occurred first. Non-responders were censored at the maximum time of all participants in their respective group (ie, maximum between time to MCyR response for responders and time to last cytogenetic assessment for non-responders).
Time to CHR in Participants With CHR at 6 Months Follow-Up
Time to CHR was defined as the time from the first dosing date until criteria are first met for the response. Non-responders were censored at the maximum time of all participants in their respective group (ie, maximum between time to CHR response for responders and time to last hematologic assessment for non-responders).
Time to MCyR in Participants With MCyR at 24 Months Follow-Up
Time to MCyR was defined as the time from the first dosing date until criteria were first met for CCyR or PCyR, whichever occurred first. Non-responders were censored at the maximum time of all participants in their respective group (ie, maximum between time to MCyR response for responders and time to last cytogenetic assessment for non-responders). Cytogenetic assessments were not done after the 2 Year Follow-up.
Time to CHR in Participants With CHR At 24 Months Follow-Up
Time to CHR was defined as the time from the first dosing date until criteria are first met for the response. Non-responders were censored at the maximum time of all participants in their respective group (ie, maximum between time to CHR response for responders and time to last hematologic assessment for non-responders). Cytogenetic assessments were not done after the 2 Year Follow-up.
Number of Participants With MCyR Whose Disease Progressed by 24 Months
Progression in a participant=participant achieved a CHR and no longer met the criteria consistently over consecutive 2-weeks after starting their maximum dose; had no CHR after receiving their maximum dose and had an increase in white blood count (WBC) defined as a doubling of the count from the lowest value to >20,000/mm^3 or an increase by > 50,000/mm^3 on two assessments performed at least 2 weeks apart; participant met criteria of accelerated or blast phase CML at any time; had a MCyR and subsequently no longer met the criteria for MCyR after starting their maximum dose; had a ≥ 30% absolute increase in the number of Ph+ metaphases. Although a related secondary endpoint was estimated duration of MCyR, medium duration of MCyR could not be estimated because the majority of participants with MCyR continued to respond, or could not be reliably estimated because of the large number of censored participants. Cytogenetic assessments were not done after the 24 month follow-up.
Number of Participants With CHR Whose Disease Progressed by 24 Months
Progression in a participant=achieved a CHR and subsequently no longer met the criteria consistently over a consecutive 2-week period after starting their maximum dose; had no CHR after receiving their maximum dose and had an increase in white blood count (WBC) defined as a doubling of the count from the lowest value to >20,000/mm^3 or an increase by > 50,000/mm^3 on two assessments performed at least 2 weeks apart; met the criteria of accelerated or blast phase CML at any time; had a MCyR and subsequently no longer met the criteria for MCyR after starting their maximum dose; had a ≥ 30% absolute increase in the number of Ph+ metaphases. Although a related secondary endpoint was estimated duration of CHR, medium duration of CHR could not be estimated because the majority of participants with CHR continued to respond, or could not be reliably estimated because of the large number of censored participants.
Number of Participants With MCyR and Baseline BCR-ABL Gene Mutation - All Treated Participants
BCR-ABL mutations were assessed in participants prior to the start of study drug (baseline) and at the time of disease progression or at end of therapy. Quantification of BCR-ABL transcripts in peripheral blood was evaluated using quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (Q-RT-PCR, RT-PCR).
Percent of Imatinib-Resistant Participants With Progression Free Survival (PFS) at 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, and 84 Months Follow-Up

Deaths without a reported prior progression were considered to have progressed on the date of death; those who neither progressed nor died were censored on the date of their last cytogenetic or hematologic assessment. When first progression reported during follow-up, it was censored at last on-study assessment. If the first progression reported during follow-up was death, participant considered to have progressed at date of death.
Percent of Imatinib-Resistant Participants With Overall Survival (OS) at 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, and 84 Months Follow-Up

Number of Participants With Death, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Adverse Events (AEs) That Led to Treatment Discontinuation at 24 Months of Follow-up
AE=any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that may not have a causal relationship with treatment. SAE=a medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or drug dependency/abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization. Treatment-related=having certain, probable, possible, or missing relationship to study drug. Baseline=closest to, but no later than, the first day of study drug for treated participants.
Number of Participants With Death, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Adverse Events (AEs) That Led toTreatment Discontinuation After 7 Year Follow-up
AE=any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that may not have a causal relationship with treatment. SAE=a medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or drug dependency/abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization. Treatment-related=having certain, probable, possible, or missing relationship to study drug. Baseline=closest to, but no later than, the first day of study drug for treated participants. After the 2-year analysis and Protocol Amendment 02, those on a BID dosing schedule were allowed to switch to a QD dosing schedule. Due to the large number of participants switching from BID dosing to QD dosing, the abbreviated dosing data collection method incorporated in Amendment 03, the overall safety data are presented for the 100 mg QD group and combined for the other treatment groups.
