OBJECTIVES: Understand time to and reasons for discontinuation or switching of imatinib in pts with CP-CML (≥12 months follow-up) in routine clinical practice.  METHODS: SIMPLICITY (NCT01244750) is an ongoing study of pts receiving first-line imatinib prior to 2010 (retrospective) or first-line imatinib, dasatinib or nilotinib since 2010 (prospective) in the US and Europe. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: The proportion of pts with treatment interruptions was similar between cohorts; however, twice as many pts discontinued imatinib, and more switched to second-line TKI, in the prospective vs. retrospective cohort, perhaps due to treatment landscape changes. Intolerance was the primary reason for discontinuation, including switching. These findings suggest intolerance remains an issue and highlights the need for effective management of adverse events as well as second-generation treatment options.
