Trial summary

Although allogeneic stem cell transplantation is curative in CML, evidence of the BCR-ABL oncogene at low levels is still found in long-term follow-up of survivors. Such low levels of BCR-ABL post-transplant which do not fulfill criteria for molecular relapse are monitored regularly and considered to be suppressed by… Read more about this study

About this study

Although allogeneic stem cell transplantation is curative in CML, evidence of the BCR-ABL oncogene at low levels is still found in long-term follow-up of survivors. Such low levels of BCR-ABL post-transplant which do not fulfill criteria for molecular relapse are monitored regularly and considered to be suppressed by the GVL effect. Treatment with donor lymphocyte infusions is only instituted when quantifiable BCR-ABL transcript levels rise steadily, indicative of a true molecular relapse .

Similarly, BCR-ABL is still detectable in the majority of CML patients treated with imatinib who achieve complete cytogenetic response, although the amount of BCR-ABL transcripts seem to decline with longer follow-up. With 5 years follow-up of CML patients at CP who received imatinib, the estimated cumulative best rates of complete hematologic response and complete cytogenetic response were 98 percent and 87 percent, respectively10. For the minority of CP-CML patients who do not respond satisfactorily to imatinib, second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors are now the recommended next line of treatment.

A major question facing clinicians is whether imatinib and the other more pharmacologically potent second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors;can suppress the CML clone at the leukemic stem cell level as effectively as allogeneic stem cell transplantation. This protocol is designed to scientifically compare the treatment responses of patients who are treated with allogeneic stem cell transplantation with patients who receive imatinib or second generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

The primary endpoint of this trial will be the proportion of patients who have detected minimal residual disease (DMRD) in primitive CD34 plus progenitor subpopulations no earlier than 60 days from the onset of their respective treatments.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Leukemia, run by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) 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 2 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 2 Jul 2017. 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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00819143, which also lists 3 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 2 Jul 2017.
