PURPOSE: The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Imatinib in chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) in our hospital population. In addition to identify which brand of imatinib (Gleevec/Veenat) is cost effective for CML patients and to assess the possible adverse drug reactions during the treatment for chronic myeloid leukaemia.
METHODS: A non-interventional (observational), both retrospective and prospective study was carried out in the department of Medical Oncology and Haematology of our hospital. A total of 152 patients were enrolled in the study. Patients who satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected for the study.
RESULTS: Evaluation of baseline characteristics of study population (n = 152) showed predominance of males (65.1%). The mean age was 49.80 ± 16.561 years. The overall clinical outcome of the sample population, BCR ABL value responses during 3,6 and 12 months are the main indicators for the prediction of outcome in CML -CP patients. Using Independent sample t test, it was found that the difference in response to Imatinib therapy during 3,6 & 12 months were statistically significant and showed a statistically significant difference between the good and adverse outcome (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION: Our study concluded that Imatinib showed a benefit in treating the condition without any life-threatening adverse events and also the drug exhibits a complete haematological and optimal response based on European Leukaemia Net criteria during the period of study. From which, it can be concluded that imatinib appears to be a safe and well-tolerated treatment for the chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukaemia population.
