This study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of Imatinib in two groups of patients; all patients should be diagnosed less than 3 months as chronic myeloid leukemia in a chronic phase. The group A, the reference group, will have 10% or less than 10% of the BCR-ABL level after three month dosing and be maintained their dose of 400mg/day. On the other hand, the group B, will have more than 10% and the dose will be increased from 400mg/day to 600mg/day. The superiority of the group B will be proved by evaluating the MMR rate of these two groups after 12 months of administeration of Imatinib.
