Time to event (months) = (date of event or censoring - date of study entry + 1) / 30.4375. Date of event is the earliest date of the following events during treatment : discontinuation of nilotinib for nilotinib-related adverse events, death due to any cause, progression to AP or BC, loss of PCyR, loss of CCyR, loss of CHR. Time is censored at the date of last assessment in the trial for patients without event.
