Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants with a diagnosis of Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML) in chronic phase who have received Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) treatment and are planning a trial of TKI drug cessation with the objective of Treatment-Free Remission (TFR).

Screening Phase:
Participants will enter the Registry before they cease TKI treatment.
Retrospective data collected includes; demographics, CML diagnosis details, blood results at diagnosis, genetics results at diagnosis (if available), details of previous TFR attempts, CML treatment history and molecular response results data during the first 12 months of treatment after diagnosis.

Baseline Timepoint (2-4 weeks post screening):
Research blood sample collected and sent to SAHMRI Central Laboratory for processing, then participants will cease TKI the following day.
Retrospective data collected includes; molecular response data in the lead-up to TKI cessation, other therapies and percentage lymphocytes at time of TKI cessation, previously failed TKIs and kinase domain mutations (if detected).

Monitoring Phase:
Retrospective CML blood results as requested by the treating clinician will be recorded in the Registry at a frequency of every 3 months for up to 1 year, unless relapse occurs. Results to be reviewed and actioned by treating clinician as standard of care.

Follow-up Phase:
Restrospective data collected will include, survival status, TFR status including current CML disease phase will be recorded in the Registry at a frequency of every 3 months for up to 4 years, unless relapse occurs.

There will be a total of 5 years of the 'Monitoring' and 'Follow-up' phases combined, unless relapse/re-treatment occurs.

Relapse/Retreatment:
If retreatment with TKI occurs after a relapse of CML, participants will be followed for a further 1 year from commencing re-treatment. Including re-treatment details blood results as requested by the treating clinician indicating response to re-treatment.
Retrospective data collected will include; TKI commenced, any treatment switches in the first 12 months after retreatment and molecular response results after retreatment.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Adults (>18 years of age) who can provide written informed consent.

2. Diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukaemia, expressing BCR::ABL1 quantifiable by real-time PCR or digital PCR.

3. Completed a minimum of 3 years TKI therapy.
a. One or more previous TFR attempts are not an exclusion. Participants who have previously had a TFR attempt and re-started TKI treatment will still be eligible for the Registry if they have received at least 12 months of subsequent TKI treatment and meet all other inclusion criteria.

4. Currently, and for the preceding 12 months, maintaining MR4.0 response and receiving BCR::ABL1 TKI treatment over that period.

5. Intending to stop TKI treatment and not planning to resume CML treatment unless loss of MMR (i.e. BCR::ABL1 exceeds 0.1%).

6. Willing and able to provide blood samples for correlative sciences evaluation.
