Trial summary

RATIONALE: Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving imatinib mesylate after a donor stem cell transplant may prevent the recurrence of Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemia. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Pilot Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Imatinib as Post-Transplant Therapy for High- Risk Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Leukemias

RATIONALE: Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving imatinib mesylate after a donor stem cell transplant may prevent the recurrence of Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemia.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of giving imatinib mesylate after a donor stem cell transplant and to see how well it works in treating patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the safety of adjuvant imatinib mesylate after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) in patients with high-risk Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemia.

Secondary

  • Determine the bcr/abl transcript load during the first 90 days after AHSCT in patients treated with this drug from the time of engraftment.
  • Determine the 1-year survival of patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, pilot, multicenter study.

Beginning within 14-30 days after allogeneic stem cell transplantation, patients receive oral imatinib mesylate once daily until 1 year after transplantation. Treatment continues in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.

Patients are followed for survival.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20 patients will be accrued for this study.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. BCR/ABL transcript load at 90 days following transplant

  2. Standard management of progressive minimal residual disease at 90 days following transplant

  3. Survival at 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing imatinib mesylate and adjuvant therapy in people with Leukemia, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center at 2 sites in United States.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Nov 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Safety at 90 days following transplant. 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 30 Nov 2011.
