Despite the outstanding results generally obtained with imatinib mesylate (IM) in treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), some patients show a poor molecular response. To evaluate relationship between steady-state trough plasma IM concentration (IM-C(min)) and clinical response CML patients, we integrated data from six independent Japanese studies. Among 254 mean IM-C(min) was 1,010.5 ng/ml. Importantly, significantly higher who achieved major (MMR) than those did not (P = 0.002)....
