About this study

Official title: Imatinib Mesylate Therapy in Systemic Mastocytosis Patients Lacking KIT Mutations

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy in terms of clinical and biological response rates of Imatinib Mesylate therapy in patients with systemic mastocytosis lacking KIT mutations.

Read the detailed description

In vitro studies have proven that imatinib inhibits wild type Kit (wtKit) and suppresses proliferation of the HMC-1V560G cell line, while it is ineffective on inhibiting the growth of HMC-1V560G, D816V cells. Apart from wtKit, Kit molecules carrying mutations in the extracellular, transmembrane and juxtamembrane domains, such as V560G, F522C and K509I, remain sensitive to imatinib. In contrast, several experiments have provided compelling evidence regarding the resistance against the growth-inhibitory effects of imatinib on cells carrying the D816V KIT mutation. As a consequence, sensitive and specific methods should be used in order to avoid "false" KIT mutation-negative cases and, for that purpose, mainly in cases with low bone marrow mast cell numbers, mutational studies should be performed using highly purified bone marrow mast cells by means of Facs sorting systems better than whole bone marrow, unsorted mononuclear cell fraction or mononuclear cell fraction pre-enriched using magnetic beads conjugated with anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody. In the present study mutational studies were performed in all cases in purified bone marrow mast cells (purity > 97%) using a FACSaria system (Becton-Dickinson Biosciences) as previously described.

Patients without B or C findings according to the World Health Organization, and without features of biological progression of the disease receive oral Imatinib Mesylate 300 mg daily for up to 12 months or until clinical progression/unacceptable toxicity. Patients with B or C findings or biological progression initially receive oral Imatinib Mesylate 300 mg daily for two weeks; then, dose is increased up to 400 mg/day except in patients who develop hematological or any other dose-limiting toxicity.

Biological progression is defined as the presence of at least one of the following features: i) increased serum tryptase levels > 200 ng/mL, ii) diffuse bone sclerosis, iii) patchy sclerosis with osteolysis and increased risk of bone fracture or significant bone pain, and, iv) organomegalies or lymph node enlargement due to mastocytosis.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the effect of Imatinib Mesylate on the grade of bone marrow mast cells infiltration.

    The grade of bone marrow infiltration is evaluated before and after 6 months of therapy by bone marrow histology and cytology, and flow cytometry performed on highly-purified bone marrow mast cells from patients with B or C findings

    Measured: 6 months

  2. To evaluate the effect of Imatinib Mesylate on the grade of bone marrow mast cells infiltration.

    The grade of bone marrow infiltration is evaluated before and after 6 months of therapy by bone marrow histology and cytology, and flow cytometry performed on highly-purified bone marrow mast cells from patients without B or C findings, and from those with B or C findings who show response at the intermediate check-point (after 6 months of therapy)

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. To evaluate the effect of Imatinib Mesylate on mastocytosis skin lesions.

    Skin lesions are evaluated before and after therapy by macroscopic examination and skin biopsy.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. To evaluate the effect of Imatinib Mesylate on mastocytosis mast-cell related symptoms.

    Clinical symptoms such as pruritus, flushing, gastrointestinal symptoms and anaphylaxis are assessed before and after therapy using a clinical questionnaire that includes the type, frequency and severity of each symptom.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. To evaluate the effect of Imatinib Mesylate on mastocytosis-related megalies.

    Organomegalies and adenomegalies are assessed before and after therapy by abdominal ultrasound.

    Measured: 12 months

  4. To evaluate the effect of Imatinib Mesylate on mastocytosis-related bone alterations.

    Bone alterations are assessed before and after therapy by X-ray survey.

    Measured: 12 months

  5. To investigate changes after Imatinib Mesilate therapy in mast cell clonality.

    Genetic abnormalities are assessed before and after therapy by sequencyng analysis of the c-kit gene and the HUMARA assay.

    Measured: 12 months

  6. To determine the effect of Imatinib Mesylate therapy on serum tryptase levels.

    Serum tryptase is measured before and after therapy.

    Measured: 12 months

  7. To determine the effect of Imatinib Mesylate therapy in the psychological impact of the disease and the quality of life.

    The psychological impact of the disease and the quality of life of patients are evaluated before and after therapy by the Dermatology Life Quality Index.

    Measured: 12 months

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate the effect of Imatinib Mesylate on the grade of bone marrow mast cells infiltration. (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01297777, 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 29 Aug 2016.
