About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Dasatinib (BMS-354825) in Relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

The purpose of this research study is to see if Dasatinib is effective and safe to give to people with relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and to determine the effects of the drug on LYN kinase activity in blood and bone marrow. Recent research shows that a key enzyme in CLL cells is responsible for cell survival. This enzyme is called LYN kinase. Laboratory studies show that inhibition of LYN kinase in CLL cells results in the death to CLL cells. Dasatinib has the ability to inhibit LYN kinase and, therefore, should have some effect on CLL cells.

Read the detailed description
  • After the screening procedures confirm that the participant is eligible and willing to participate in the research study, they will have the following tests and procedures.
  • Dasatinib is given orally once daily. Each participant will have a pill diary to record doses and any missed doses. All necessary drug refills will be given during clinic appointments, at which time the pill diary and any unused study drug will be returned.
  • During the first month of study treatment the participant will come to the clinic at the following intervals: Day 1: An EKG will be performed two hours after the first dose of medication; Days 3-8: Blood samples will be drawn once between days 3-8; Weeks 2-4: A physical examination, EKG and blood samples will be drawn once a week.
  • Beginning with the second month of study treatment, participants will come to the clinic monthly for up to two years. The following tests and procedures will be done; physical examination (monthly), blood work (monthly), pregnancy test (monthly), EKG (monthly for 6 months, then when medically indicated), CT of the neck, chest and abdomen (every 2 months for 6 months, then once every 6 months), at the end of month 2, additional blood will be drawn for research testing.
  • Participants can continue to take the study drug for up to two years as long as their disease does not progress and they are not experiencing any serious side effects.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Objective Response

    Overall objective response rate in terms of complete response, nodular partial response, and partial response to treatment. Objective response is when a biopsy shows. In general response is defined as the following (not complete criteria):

    Complete response (CR) requires all of the following for a period of at least 2 months:

    • Absence of lymphadenopathy
    • No hepatomegaly or splenomegaly
    • Absence of constitutional symptoms
    • Normal complete blood count

    Nodular partial response (nPR): Met the criteria for CR, but had residual bone marrow biopsy nodules as the only evidence of disease

    Partial response (PR): requires at least the following:

    • 50% decrease in peripheral blood lymphocyte count
    • 50% reduction in lymphadenopathy
    • 50% reduction in the size of the liver and/or spleen

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Complete Response Rate

    The number of participants with a 100% reduction in nodal mass.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Median Time to Disease Progression

    The median time to disease progression, measured from the start of treatment.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Median Overall Survival

    The median survival time, as measured from the start of treatment until death from any cause.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Dasatinib in people with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, run by Massachusetts General Hospital at 2 sites 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 6 inclusion and 10 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 13 Dec 2017. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Oct 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Overall Objective Response (time frame: 2 years). 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 13 Dec 2017.
