About this study

Official title: Use and Tolerability of Imatinib Mesylate (Gleevec®) in Patients With Philadelphia-Positive Chronic Myeloid or Acute Leukemia During the First 100 Days Following Bone Marrow or Stem Cell Transplantation

Primary Objective:

  1. To assess the safety and toxicity of imatinib mesylate when given to patients with Ph (+) CML , ALL or AML within the first 100 days following allogeneic bone marrow or stem cell transplantation.

Secondary Objectives:

  1. To identify any clinically significant drug interactions with imatinib in the post-transplant setting.
  2. To develop specific monitoring parameters for imatinib use when utilized in the early post-BMT setting.
  3. To record one-year survival data in this patient cohort to assess any effect of early imatinib administration on this endpoint.
Read the detailed description

Imatinib mesylate is an FDA-approved, commercially available drug for patients with acute or chronic leukemias carrying the Philadelphia chromosome. Women who are able to have children must have a negative blood pregnancy test before taking this drug

No earlier than three weeks after the bone marrow or stem cell transplant, you will start taking imatinib mesylate by mouth. You will take it once or twice a day until roughly 100 days following the transplant or until you are released from the Houston area by your M. D. Anderson physician. Imatinib mesylate should be taken with a meal and a glass of water, preferably in the morning.

The dose will be gradually increased as long as you don't experience severe side effects. If severe side effects occur, imatinib will be stopped, either temporarily or permanently.

After about 100 days (or after leaving Houston) the medication may be continued at the discretion of the study doctor, but the study will be considered completed.

This is an investigational study. A total of up to 40 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson. The study is partially funded by the manufacturer of imatinib mesylate (see below), although the drug is not provided free of charge.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Imatinib Mesylate in people with Leukemia, 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 11 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 1 Aug 2012. 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.

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?

Toxicity Rate (time frame: 100 Days and 1 Year). 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 1 Aug 2012.
