Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Received prior imatinib therapy 2. Received prior dasatinib therapy 3. Received prior nilotinib therapy 4.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To compare the efficacy of ponatinib with imatinib as measured by major molecular response (MMR) rate at 12 months (1 month or cycle = 28 days);Secondary Objective: - To compare, according to treatment with ponatinib versus imatinib, MMR rate at 5 years - To compare the proportion of patients achieving a ratio of <10% BCR-ABL to ABL transcript levels at 3 months, as measured by the international scale (<10% BCR-ABLIS), in patients administered ponatinib versus those administered imatinib - To compare, according to treatment with ponatinib versus imatinib, the complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) rate at 12 months - To compare, according to treatment with ponatinib versus imatinib, progression-free survival and overall survival Other secondary and exploratory study objectives as listed in the protocol;Primary end point(s): MMR rate at 12 months (1 month or cycle = 28 days);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Key secondary endpoints: 1 MMR rate at 5 years 2 <10% BCR-ABLIS rate at 3 months 3 CCyR rate at 12 months 4 Progression-free survival 5 Overall survival Other Secondary Endpoints as listed in the protocol;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1 MMR rate at 5 years 2 <10% BCR-ABLIS rate at 3 months 3 CCyR rate at 12 months | — |
