“…14,15 Furthermore, several studies found that EMR was an early predictor of DMR, regardless of first-line TKI type and CP-CML risk score. 14,15,18,19 In ENESTnd, cumulative incidences of MR4.5 by 5 years in patients with ,1%, between 1% and 10%, and .10% BCR-ABL1 IS at 3 months were 70%, 51.7%, and 8.3%, respectively, with nilotinib 300 mg twice daily and 67.4%, 33.8%, and 15.9%, respectively, with imatinib. 18 In a large singlecenter study, Sasaki et al 20 found that best fit average real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction values for sustained MR4.5 for $2 years at any time during first-line TKI treatment were 0.051% IS at 3 months, 0.019% IS at 6 months, 0.007% IS at 9 months, and 0.003% IS at 12 months.…”
