About this study
Official title: A Randomized Phase Lll Study of Imatinib Dose Optimization Compared With Nilotinib in Patients With Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia and Suboptimal Response to Standard-dose Imatinib
There is no available data on the clinical benefit of dose escalation for patients with suboptimal response to imatinib, and patients may still improve their response with continuation of therapy at the standard dose as shown in the IRIS trial after 5 years of follow-up. However, there is no data yet regarding the potential benefit of using nilotinib in the group of patients with suboptimal response. In this study, the efficacy of nilotinib 400mg BID will be compared to imatinib 600mg QD.
Read the detailed description
The comparative efficacy between imatinib dose escalation (600 mg QD) and nilotinib (400 mg BID), in terms of CCyR after 6 months, for patients with CML in chronic phase with suboptimal response to imatinib standard dose will be determined.

Measured: 24 months
Duration of CCyR
Duration of CCyR was defined as time from the date of ransomization to the date of first loss of CCyR or death, whichever came first.
Measured: 24 months
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
PFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of documented disease progression to accelerated phase or blast crisis (AP/BC), or death due to any cause.
Measured: 24 months
Event-Free Survival (EFS)
EFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first occurrence of any of the following: loss of Complete Hematological Response (CHR), loss of Partial Cytogenetic Response (PCyR), loss of CCyR, death on treatment or progression to AP/BC.
Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing nilotinib and imatinib in people with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 56 sites in 12 countries.
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 22 inclusion and 8 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 16 Nov 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 56 sites in Brazil, Russia, India, China, Mexico and 7 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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 16 Nov 2015). 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?
Percentage of Participants With Complete Cytogenetic Response (CCyR) (time frame: 6 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 NCT00802841, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 16 Nov 2015.
