Efficacy and Safety of Dose Redution of Radotinib as a First Line Treament in Ph+ CML

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the efficacy and safety profile when Radotinib dose redution is performed in Ph+ CML subjects.

The main efficacy is checked by MMR rate by 12 months from IP treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with Philadelphia chromosome negative
2. Patients who used Radotinib for 8 days or longer before study entry
3. Patients who had been treated with other targeted anti-cancer therapy, except for Hydrea or Agrylin, which inhibits the growth of leukemic cells
4. Patients who have hypersensitivity to active ingredient or any of the excipients of this investigational product.
5. Patients with impaired cardiac function as defined below:

   * Patients who cannot have QT intervals measured according to ECG

     * Complete left bundle branch block

       * Patients with cardiac pacemakers

         * Patients with congenital long QT syndrome or the family history of known long QT syndrome

           * The mean QTcF \>450msec ECG tests at baseline

             * Clinically significant resting bradycardia (\< 50 bpm) History of, or presence of symptomatic ventricular or atrial tachyarrhythmias

               * Clinically significant resting bradycardia (\< 50 bpm)

8. Other significant congenital or acquired bleeding disorders that are not related to underlying leukemia
9. Patients who previously received radiotherapy to at least 25% of the bone marrow
10. Patients who had a major surgery within 4 weeks prior to study entry or has not recovered from side effects of such surgery
11. Patients who diagosed with another clinically significant malignant tumor wihin 5years before study etnry, excluding basal cell carcinoma
12. Patients who are currently receiving treatment with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor (e.g., erythromycin, ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, clarithromycin, telithromycin, ritonavir, mibefradil) or CYP3A4 inducer (e.g., dexamthasone, phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampin, rifabutin, rifapentin, phenobarbitol, St. John's Wort). Treatment cannot be safely discontinued or switched to a different medication prior to initiation of study treatment
13. Patients who are currently receiving treatment with a medication that has the potential to prolong the QT interval. Treatment cannot be safely discontinued or switched to a different medication prior to initiation of study treatment
14. Impairment of GI function or GI disease that may significantly alter absorption of study drugs (e.g., ulcerative colitis, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, small bowel resection, GI bypass surgery).
