Background: Two recent studies have identified a strong association between treatment adherence and treatment response in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treated with imatinib; and suggested a possible 7-10% tolerance margin for nonadherence before impaired treatment response is likely to occur. Objective: To determine at what percentage of dosing adherence of imatinib impaired treatment response (suboptimal response of incomplete cytogenetic response is likely to occur; and, conversely, at what percent of dosing adherence positive treatment response is likely to ensue CML patients.Type
