Trial summary

Results in CP are better in patients treated early after the onset of the disease with respect to late CP . To date, the early McR rate to imatinib is clearly higher in low and intermediate risk versus high risk (88 and 84% versus 65%). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: CML/021 "A Phase II Exploratory Study of IMATINIB High Dose (800mg/gg) in the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Intermediate Risk Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in Chronic Phase"

Results in CP are better in patients treated early after the onset of the disease with respect to late CP . To date, the early McR rate to imatinib is clearly higher in low and intermediate risk versus high risk (88 and 84% versus 65%). High dose of imatinib, as shown in phase I-III trials may offer the possibility to increase the response rate of patients belonging to this risk category.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase II multicenter, open-label study designed to investigate the efficacy (hematological response, cytogenetic response and molecular response) and feasibility (tolerance, compliance and safety) of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib mesylate (formerly STI 571, GLIVECÔ, Novartis Pharma) at high dose (800 mg/daily) (serial number protocol ICSG/CML/021) in patients with Ph+ chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase (CP) previously untreated, at intermediate Sokal risk.

With aIFN, responses (HR and CgR) are significantly influenced by the disease phase and, in CP patients, by risk. aIFN induces rare and short lived HR and CgR (any degree) in late CP and particularly in accelerated and blastic phase.

Moreover, in CP patients Sokal's risk influences significantly the probability of obtaining a MCgR after aIfaIFN . As far as survival, after aIFN even in CCgR patients, the long term survival is signifcantly influenced by risk. The European investigators on Interferon in CML (EICML) collected informations on response and survival on 317 complete cytogenetic responders to IFN. The 10 years survival of the whole patients population was 75% but, after stratification by risk, a significant difference in 10 years survival rates was found in favour of low risk patients (89%) if compared with intermediate risk (70%) and high risk patients (54%) (low vs high risk p 0.0001; intermediate vs high p 0.003, log-rank test).

Long term survival data still lacks after imatinib. However, it has been already shown that the disease phase influences the efficacy of imatinib in CML: responses (HR and particularly CgR) are better in CP versus accelerated and blastic phase. Results in CP are better in patients treated early after the onset of the disease with respect to late CP . To date, the early McR rate to imatinib is clearly higher in low and intermediate risk versus high risk (88 and 84% versus 65%).

Two scoring systems are available for disease risk evaluation, Sokal and Euro. Sokal risk is based on chemotherapy treated patients and Euro risk is based on aIFN trated patients: it is not known to date if one or both of the scoring systems will apply to imatinib treated patients. Moreover, the Sokal system has been applied to stratify the patients by risk in all the large clinical trials of imatinib in CML in the last 3 years and consequently, Sokal score will be employed in the present trial.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Imatinib Mesilate (Glivec) in people with Myeloid Leukemia, Chronic, Chronic-Phase, run by University of Bologna at 1 site in Italy.

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 7 inclusion and 11 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 3 Aug 2007. 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 Italy. 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?

Rate of complete cytogenetic response at 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 NCT00510926, which also lists 7 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 3 Aug 2007.
