What is being measured

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

  1. MMR Rate at 12 Mos. of Nilotinib Treatment on Study in Patients With Philadelphia Chromosome Positive (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in Chronic Phase (CML-CP) Who Have a Suboptimal Molecular Response to Imatinib at 18 Months or Later.

    MMR is defined as BCR-ABL ratio (%) on IS ≤ 0.1% (corresponds to ≥ 3 log reduction of BCR-ABL transcripts from standardized baseline value

    Measured: 12 months after treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. MMR Rate at 24 Months of Nilotinib Treatment on Study in Patients With Philadelphia Chromosome Positive (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in Chronic Phase (CML-CP)

    MMR is defined as BCR-ABL ratio (%) on IS ≤ 0.1% (corresponds to ≥ 3 log reduction of BCR-ABL transcripts from standardized baseline value

    Measured: 24 months after treatment

  2. Time to First MMR of Nilotinib in Patients With Philadelphia Chromosome Positive (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in Chronic Phase (CML-CP) .

    MMR is defined as BCR-ABL ratio (%) on IS ≤ 0.1% (corresponds to ≥ 3 log reduction of BCR-ABL transcripts from standardized baseline value

    Measured: month 24

  3. Duration of MMR of Nilotinib in Patients With Philadelphia Chromosome Positive (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in Chronic Phase (CML-CP) .

    MMR is defined as BCR-ABL ratio (%) on IS ≤ 0.1% (corresponds to ≥ 3 log reduction of BCR-ABL transcripts from standardized baseline value

    Measured: month 24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Nilotinib in people with Philadelphia Chromosome Positive and Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in Chronic Phase, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 20 sites in Japan.

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 17 inclusion and 14 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 8 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in Japan. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 9 Feb 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?

MMR Rate at 12 Mos. of Nilotinib Treatment on Study in Patients With Philadelphia Chromosome Positive (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in Chronic Phase (CML-CP) Who Have a Suboptimal Molecular Response to Imatinib at 18 Months or Later. (time frame: 12 months after treatment). 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 NCT01043874, 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 8 Apr 2016.
