[information is prepared from clinicaltrials.gov, extracted Sep-2024]

Trial Outcomes

Median Overall Survival (OS)

Time in months from the start of study treatment to date of death due to any cause. Patients alive at last follow-up are censored as of that follow-up date. Median OS was estimated using a Kaplan-Meier curve. (NCT00354913)
Timeframe: From the date of study treatment initiation to the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 69 months.

Interventionmonths (Median)
Imatinib Mesylate+Hydroxyurea66

Median Progression-free Survival (PFS)

Time in months from the start of study treatment to the date of first progression according to Macdonald criteria, or to death due to any cause. Patients alive who had not progressed as of the last follow-up had PFS censored at the last follow-up date. Median PFS was estimated using a Kaplan-Meier curve. (NCT00354913)
Timeframe: From the date of study treatment initiation to the date of the first documented progression or death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 69 months.

Interventionmonths (Median)
Imatinib Mesylate+Hydroxyurea7

Objective Response Rate

Percentage of participants with an objective response (complete response or partial response). Per modified Macdonald criteria and assessed by MRI, complete response (CR) was the disappearance of all target lesions and partial response (PR) was a ≥50% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Objective response = CR+PR. (NCT00354913)
Timeframe: 69 Months

Interventionpercentage of participants (Number)
Imatinib Mesylate+Hydroxyurea0

Progression-free Survival at 6 Months

Percentage of participants surviving six months from the start of study treatment without progression of disease. PFS was defined as the time from the date of study treatment initiation to the date of the first documented progression according to the Macdonald criteria, or death due to any cause. (NCT00354913)
Timeframe: From the date of study treatment initiation to the date of the first documented progression or death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 69 months. For each participant, PFS was assessed at 6 months after treatment initiation.

Interventionpercentage of participants (Number)
