Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the treatment efficacy of Imatinib in patients with Philadelphia chromosome - positive CML during the period from 2019 to 2023 at the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion (NIHBT). Subjects and Methods: A descriptive study was conducted on 798 patients diagnosed with chronic phase Philadelphia-positive CML from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2023. All patients were treated with Imatinib for a minimum duration of 3 months at the NIHBT. Results: The complete hematologic response (CHR) rate after 3 months of treatment was 87.61%. The cytogenetic response rates were 32.7% at 3 months, 43.5% at 6 months, and 64.3% at 12 months. The rates of major molecular response (MMR) were 22.2% after 3 months, 33% after 6 months, and 54.7% after 12 months. The rates of drug resistance and intolerance were 35.7% and 11.3%, respectively. Conclusion: Imatinib remains an effective treatment option for patients with chronic phase CML.
