PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 weeks

Population: Eight patients completed 8 weeks of imatinib and were considered evaluable for response.

The number of patients with Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR) and Stable Disease (SD) were determined at 8 weeks.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: Eight patients completed 8 weeks of imatinib and were considered evaluable for response.

The percentage of patients with 6 months progression-free survival was estimated. Progression is defined, using RECIST, as a measurable increase in the smallest dimension of any target or non-target lesion, the appearance of new lesions, or the significant clinical deterioration related to progression of patient's disease.
