This was a Phase IV open-label, multi-center, single-arm study in participants with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) CML in chronic phase for who nilotinib is the appropriate treatment at the discretion of the investigator. A screening period of 2 weeks was used to assess eligibility and to taper participants off disallowed medications. Participants whose eligibility was confirmed entered a 24 months treatment phase with nilotinib 300mg BID. Nilotinib was prescribed by the investigator according to the individual needs of the participants.
