Trial summary

The study will assess the role of high-dose imatinib mesylate, in patients who have taken imatinib mesylate for at least 1 year at the standard dose, in achieving a major molecular response (a measure of the level of chronic myelogenous leukemia) versus the standard dose.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percent of patients achieving major molecular response at baseline and at last visit

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Complete cytogenetic response at baseline and at last visit

  2. Overall survival

  3. Disease progression-free survival

  4. Quality of Life assessment at baseline, last visit

  5. Safety: adverse events and lab parameters, vital signs, physical exam, electrocardiogram, concomitant medications

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing imatinib mesylate in people with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in Canada.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 23 Feb 2017. 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 Canada. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Percent of patients achieving major molecular response at baseline and at last visit. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 23 Feb 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
