|---|---|
| Secondary Objective: •to correlate the compliance assessed by pill count (conventional pill count and pill count using SmartBlister in selected centers) with the results obtained by the questionnaires and interviews •to monitor the efficacy of imatinib as assessed by PCR testing (BCR-ABL load, % IS) •to correlate the compliance with the efficacy as assessed by PCR testing •to correlate the compliance with imatinib blood levels during imatinib treatment ;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy variable is the compliance of the patients (as the number of pills taken in relation to the number of pills prescribed in %).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: end of study (month 12);Main Objective: To assess patient’s compliance before and after intervention by comparison of the number of imatinib (Glivec®) tablets taken before and after intervention. | — |
