What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Imatinib MesylateDrug

    Also called Glivec, MI

    patient will receive Imatinib (Glivec®), 300 mg/m²/day, per oral, in conjunction with chemotherapy, maximum dose allowed 400 mg/dia.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the efficacy, through molecular response and event-free survival, about the use of Imatinib in conjunction with chemotherapy after BFM "like" Induction in children with ALL Ph+.

    Cytogenetic and molecular response will be evaluate at the end of Induction I (D33), before each consolidation block (HR 1, 2 and 3), before re-induction, before maintenanceand at the end of therapy.

    Measured: Up to 24 months.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluate toxicity and tolerability in the administration of Imatinib in conjunction with chemotherapy in children with ALL Ph+.

    Toxicity and tolerability will be verified in every visit according through:

    • Adverse events during the study.
    • Laboratory exams.
    • Vital signs and body weight.
    • Physical evaluation.
    • Concomitant medication.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Imatinib Mesylate in people with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) Philadelphia Chromosome-positive (Ph+), run by Renato Melaragno.

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 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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Mar 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Evaluate the efficacy, through molecular response and event-free survival, about the use of Imatinib in conjunction with chemotherapy after BFM "like" Induction in children with ALL Ph+. (time frame: Up to 24 months.). 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 26 Mar 2013.
