| E.5 End points | 
| E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) | 
| Efficacy     Primary endpoint  MMolR rate at 12 months    Secondary endpoints  CCgR rate at 12 months, time to MMolR, CCgR  Subjects who have a confirmed MMolR at 12 months on treatment will be counted as responders  if first  MMolR is at month 12, the confirmed MMolR should occur at month 13 . Treatment failure will be  defined as failure to complete 12 months of treatment or failure to achieve a MMolR at 12 months of study  treatment. Subjects who achieved a MMolR earlier than 12 months, but have lost this response at  evaluation at 12 months, will not be considered responders.  Safety   Safety of dasatinib and imatinib will be reported for all randomized subjects. Adverse events will be  assessed continuously and graded according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events   CTCAE  version 3.0.  Mutation   Mutation analysis will be performed in all subjects at baseline, at the time of progression during study  treatment or after 12 months of treatment. |  |
