Key clinical point: Compared with 90% adherence, a 100% adherence to imatinib was associated with a 2-fold increase in achieving or maintaining treatment response in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), highlighting the urgent need to assess and promote patient adherence.
Major finding: A 90-day imatinib pill-count adherence of 100% vs. 90% increased the probabilities of achieving complete hematological response by 2.25-fold (probability of treatment response [pTR] 0.8416 vs. 0.3746), complete cytogenic response by 2.24-fold (pTR 0.8335 vs. 0.3714), major molecular response by 1.95-fold (pTR 0.7698 vs. 0.3938), and optimal response by 2.35-fold (pTR 0.8236 vs. 0.3512).
Study details: Findings are from a post hoc analysis of the ADAGIO study including 169 patients with CML.
Disclosures: This study did not receive any specific funding. Some investigators reported being equity shareholders and employees of or receiving honoraria from various sources including Novartis which funded the ADAGIO study.
