Study Evaluating SKI-606 (Bosutinib) In Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Leukemias

Cytogenetic response (CyR) is based on the prevalence of Philadelphia positive (Ph+) cells. Major cytogenetic response was categorized as either complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) or partial cytogenetic response (PCyR). CCyR was achieved when there was 0% Ph+ cells from at least 20 metaphases from conventional bone marrow cytogenetics or <1% positive cells from at least 200 cells analyzed from FISH. PCyR was achieved when 1 to 35% Ph+ cells were present.

bcr-Abl is a protein resulting from the transcription of the Philadelphia chromosome following 9:22 chromosomal translocation, and phosphorylation inhibition of which correlates with inhibition of tumor cell growth.

CrkL is a protein, phosphorylation of which has been shown to correlate with CML cell growth; and conversely inhibition of their phosphorylation correlates with inhibition of tumor cell growth. Phosphorylation of CrkL was monitored in whole blood cells, as well as in the cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3+) (T cell), CD19+ (B cell) and CD34+ (blast cell) compartments by using fluorescent activated cell sorter (FACS) flow cytometry.

CyR is based on the prevalence of Ph+ cells. MCyR was categorized as either CCyR or PCyR. CCyR was achieved when there was 0% Ph+ cells from at least 20 metaphases from conventional bone marrow cytogenetics or <1% positive cells from at least 200 cells analyzed from FISH. PCyR was achieved when 1 to 35% Ph+ cells were present.

MCyR was categorized as either CCyR or PCyR.

PCyR was achieved when 1 to 35% Ph+ cells were present. The Kaplan-Meier probability of retaining an attained/maintained MCyR at Year 5 is reported. Median durations were not reached as of the minimum follow-up. Duration of response in weeks =(date of confirmed loss of first attained response or last valid cytogenetic assessment for those censored - date of first attained response)/7.

MCyR was categorized as either CCyR or PCyR. CCyR was achieved when there was 0% Ph+ cells from at least 20 metaphases from conventional bone marrow cytogenetics or <1% positive cells from at least 200 cells analyzed from FISH. PCyR was achieved when 1 to 35% Ph+ cells were present. Time to MCyR was the interval from the date of first dose of study medication until the first date of achieving a given response.

Time to response in weeks equals (=) (event date minus (-) first dose date plus (+) 1)divided (/)7, where the event date is the non-missing date of the first attained response for responders only.

Hematologic response: if participants met all of the following criteria of CHR: White Blood Cells equal to or less than (≤) institutional upper limit of normal, no peripheral blood blasts or promyelocytes, myelocytes+metamyelocytes <5% in blood, absolute neutrophil count greater than or equal to (≥) 1.0×10^9 per liter (/L) , platelets ≥100×10^9/L \& <450×10^9/L, <20% basophils in blood \& no extramedually involvement (including hepato- or splenomegaly), ≤5% BM blasts (ADV only \& applicable to CP if BM aspirate was performed). The duration of CHR was defined as the interval from the first date of response until the first date of confirmed loss of response. Duration of response in weeks =(date of confirmed loss of attained response or last valid hematologic assessment for those censored - date of first confirmed response)/7. The Kaplan-Meier estimate of maintaining CHR at the end of minimum follow-up is presented (CP2L: Year 5; CP3L \& ADV: Year 4). NA = not estimable.

The time to CHR was measured from the date of first dosing to the first date of response. Time to response in weeks = (event date - first dose date plus 1)/7, where the event date is the non-missing date of the first attained response for responders only.

The cumulative incidence of on-treatment progression or death adjusting for the competing risk of treatment discontinuation without the event. Disease progression was determined by the investigator as the reason for treatment discontinuation and death was due to any cause within 30 days of last dose. Duration in months = (date of PD/death or last valid cytogenetic/hematologic assessment if censored - first dose date)/30.4. 95% confidence intervals were calculated using Gray's method.

NA = not estimable. One year = 12 months.

PFS was based on Kaplan-Meier method. Disease progression was determined by the investigator as the reason for treatment discontinuation and death was due to any cause within 30 days of last dose. Duration in months = (date of PD/death or last valid cytogenetic/hematologic assessment if censored - first dose date)/30.4.

OS was based on Kaplan-Meier method. Survival was defined as the time period from the date of first dose of bosutinib to the date of death or date of last contact for those censored.

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to 30 days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state.

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. The event did not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. PCI AEs included anemia, alanine aminotranferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), cardiac, diarrhea, edema, effusion, gastrointestinal, hemorrhage, hypersensitivity, hypertension, infection, liver, myelosuppression, nausea, neutropenia, rash, renal, thrombocytopenia, vomiting, and vascular events. Duration of AE was calculated as (stop date minus start date) plus 1 for non-missing and non-partial dates.
