About this study

Official title: Therapy of Early Chronic Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) With Gleevec (STI571)

The goal of this clinical research study is to see if imatinib mesylate (Gleevec, STI571) can improve CML in chronic phase.

Objectives:

Primary Objective:

To increase the proportion of patients achieving a complete cytogenetic response in patients with Ph-positive early chronic phase CML using initial Gleevec therapy.

Secondary Objective:

To evaluate the duration of cytogenetic response, duration of hematologic response and survival.

Read the detailed description

Before treatment starts, patients will have a physical exam including medical history and documentation of disease, blood tests, and a bone marrow study. The bone marrow will be removed with a large needle.

Patients on this study will take 400 mg of imatinib daily (morning or evening). If you have side effects, the dose may be lowered. If the response is not good, the dose of imatinib mesylate will be increased to 800 mg daily (400 mg in the morning and 400 mg in the evening) or may be decreased to 300 mg daily based on how the drug is tolerated. Imatinib mesylate should be taken with a large glass of water. Bottles containing the tablets will be given to the patient every 6 months. Unused supplies must be returned at the end of the study.

After completing 3 to 12 months of therapy, response to imatinib mesylate will be evaluated. If the response is good, treatment with imatinib mesylate alone will be continued. Treatment may be continued for up to 20 years, or as long as it is judged best to control the leukemia.

Update: June 2010:

Blood tests are recommended 2 times per year. Your doctor will discuss with you how often you should have blood tests. Bone marrow will be done if your doctor thinks it is necessary to check your disease. You must return to MD Anderson at least once every year. You may not need a bone marrow test every visit, but you will have blood drawn to measure the amount of disease you have. If the leukemia cannot be found for 2 years or longer on the blood test called PCR which is done to measure the amount of disease you have, your doctor may talk to you about stopping treatment with imatinib. If you and your doctor decide to stop your therapy, you will have a blood test for PCR done every 3 to 6 months. You do not need to return to MD Anderson to have this blood test done. You may have the blood taken by your local doctor and mailed to MD Anderson. If the leukemia is found again by the PCR blood test, your doctor may recommend that you restart treatment with imatinib. You may decide to stay on treatment with imatinib even if your PCR blood test does not show any sign of leukemia for 2 years or longer.

This is an investigational study. Imatinib mesylate has been approved in CML. A total of 50 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gleevec in people with Leukemia, Myeloid, Chronic-Phase, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patients achieving complete cytogenetic response using initial Gleevec therapy (time frame: Baseline to 12 Months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00048672, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Jan 2016.
