Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Proportion of patients with confirmed MR4 after two years of study treatment
Proportion of patients with confirmed MR4 at two years of study treatment in both treatment arms. Confirmed MR4 at two years is defined as either BCR-ABL ≤ 0.01% IS at 21 and 24 months or BCR-ABL ≤ 0.01% IS at 24 months and confirmation within six weeks
2 years
Study Arms (2)

Interventions
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Signed written informed consent
- Male or female patients aged \>=18 years (without upper limit of age)
- ECOG performance status of 0 to 2
- CML in chronic phase, with chronic phase defined as blasts \< 15% in blood and/or bone marrow and peripheral blood basophils \< 20% and platelets ≥ 100 G/L
- Pretreatment with Imatinib with a treatment duration of at least 18 months at a dosage of 400 to 800 mg daily
- Major molecular response (MMR) without molecular response ≥ 4.5 log (MR4.5), i.e. BCR-ABL\>0.0032% and ≤0.1% IS confirmed by central la-boratory at screening will be required for randomisation
- Patients must have a serum Creatinine of ≤ 1.5 x ULN, SGOT ≤ 1.5 x ULN, total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN (except known M. Gilbert), and Lipase ≤ 1.5 x ULN
- Women of child-bearing potential defined as sexually mature women who have not undergone a hysterectomy or who have not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months, must have a negative serum pregnancy test during screening period. Male and fe-male patients of reproductive potential must agree to employ highly ef-fective methods of birth control throughout the study and for up to 3 months following discontinuation of study drug. Appropriate methods are e.g. a highly effective method of first choice, i.e. a method with a low failure rate (less than 1% per year) like sexual abstinence, com-bined oral contraceptives, implants, injectable, some Intra Uterine Devices (IUDs), vasectomized partner, in combination with a method of second choice like condom, diaphragm, or cup pessary with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository.
You may not qualify if:
- Any previous treatment for CML other than Hydroxyurea, Imatinib or Interferon alpha
- Evidence of features of accelerated or blast phase at any time
- Previous loss of hematologic or cytogenetic response
- Concomitant medications known to be strong inducers or inhibitors of P450 Isoenzyme CYP3A4
- Finding of a secondary BCR-ABL resistance mutation at any time
- History of intolerance to Imatinib that required treatment interruption longer than 4 weeks (cumulative) or dose reductions to less than 400 mg daily for longer than 4 weeks (cumulative) during the last 12 months before informed consent
- Patients who had prior allogeneic, syngeneic, or autologous bone mar-row transplant or stem cell transplant
- Patients unwilling to or unable to comply with the planned therapeutic intervention or to comply with the study treatment visits including blood sample collection within the protocol
- History of pancreatitis, chronic inflammatory diseases or autoimmune diseases
- Patients who underwent solid organ transplantation
- Impaired cardiac function, including any of the following:
- History of or presence of complete left bundle branch block, right bundle branch block plus left anterior hemi block, bifascicular block in screening ECG
- Use of a cardiac pacemaker
- ST depression of \> 1mm in 2 or more leads and/or T wave inver-sions in 2 or more contiguous leads in screening ECG
- Congenital Long QT Syndrome
- +13 more criteria
