Group Intervention Description Imatinib 400 mg Imatinib mesylate Oral dose of 400mg Imatinib once daily. All patients received the assigned dose starting on Day 0 (Visit 3). The dose of Imatinib could be interrupted, reduced, or escalated based on guidelines defined in protocol. imatinib 800 mg Imatinib mesylate Patients randomized to receive 800 mg Imatinib were to receive 400 mg twice daily (b.i.d.) oral administration, in the morning and the evening. All patients received the assigned dose starting on Day 0 (Visit 3). The dose of Imatinib could be interrupted or reduced based on guidelines defined in protocol.

Mean Actual Dose Intensity Per Day start of treatment to Month 36 The mean actual dose intensity per day from start of treatment up to last dose or discontinuation was evaluated up to Month 36. Actual dose intensity (mg/day) = total dose/time on treatment (periods of zero dose are included)
