Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Bosutinib
Treatment: Drugs - Imatinib

Experimental: Bosutinib - Bosutinib, 400 mg, oral administration once a day

Active comparator: Imatinib - Imatinib, 400 mg, oral administration once a day


Treatment: Drugs: Bosutinib
Bosutinib (Bosulif®) is an orally bioavailable, potent, multi-targeted, dual Src-Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that has been approved for the treatment of adult patients with Philadelphia positive (Ph+) chronic phase (CP), accelerated phase (AP) and blast phase (BP) chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) previously treated with other TKI inhibitor therapy.\[1\] This study will investigate the use of bosutinib as first-line treatment for patients with Ph+ CP CML.

Treatment: Drugs: Imatinib
Imatinib mesylate (referred to in this protocol as imatinib) is an inhibitor of the BCR-ABL kinase and been the standard first-line therapy for patients with chronic-phase CML. Imatinib was granted approval by the European Commission in November 2001 and by the FDA in December 2002 for the treatment of newly diagnosed patients with CP Ph+ CML based on results from the IRIS trial.

Imatinib is considered the standard of care for both first-line and later line settings, and consequently is an appropriate active comparator.
