Study design details

Main study objective

This observational study will provide real-world safety data on CML patients exposed to nilotinib and therefore provide insights into disease management, efficacy as well as the safety profile of nilotinib and the adherence to current treatment recommendations (Baccarani et al. 2009, Valent et al. 2011, Rosti et al. 2011) in daily clinical practice.

Outcomes

The main goal of this non-interventional study is to document the following parameters under specific conditions of daily clinical practice:• Safety and tolerability and all adverse events (AE, serious and non-serious) during treatment with nilotinib and adherence to current treatment recommendations in daily clinical practice, Clinical, cytogenetic, hematologic and molecular responses to nilotinib

Data analysis plan

There are no predefined hypotheses regarding the incidence of specific safety outcomes, the magnitude of effectiveness or treatment practices. Descriptive statistical methods will be used for all variables of evaluation. Efficacy and safety variables will be presented descriptive and will be interpreted in comparison to historic controls and published data.
