About this study
Official title: A Phase 1/2 Multi-center, Open-label Study of Ponatinib in Japanese Patients With Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) Who Have Failed Dasatinib or Nilotinib or Ph+ Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) Who Have Failed Prior Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs)
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of ponatinib in Japanese patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who have experienced failure of dasatinib or nilotinib or with Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) following failure of prior tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).
Read the detailed description
This multi-center, phase 1/2, open-label study will consist of two phases. The first will be a dose escalation phase employing a modified 3+3 design with two dose cohorts (30mg and 45mg). After 6 patients complete the first cycle in a cohort, safety events will be evaluated before opening the next dose cohort. Patients will continue on treatment as long as it is tolerated and disease progression has not occurred. Phase 2 will occur at the recommended dose determined in phase 1 in an additional 25 patients. Another 3 patients will be dosed at 15mg for collection of pharmacokinetic data. These patients may also escalate to the recommended dose and be assessed for efficacy and safety as phase 2 patients.
Efficacy measures include molecular, cytogenetic, and hematologic response rates at various time points; time to response; duration of response; and survival follow-up. Safety measures include routine physical and laboratory evaluations, adverse event monitoring, and ECGs. Other measures include mutation testing and molecular genetic assessment. Accrual is expected to take approximately 12 months, and patients will be followed for survival for up to 60 months from the last dose of study drug; therefore, the estimated duration of the trial is 72 months.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ponatinib - Phase 1Drug
Also called AP24534
30 mg dose of ponatinib taken orally once daily for at least the first 6 patients. If no dose-limiting toxicities are observed, the next patients will receive 45 mg dose of ponatinib taken orally once daily. Once the recommended dose is confirmed, all patients may receive the recommended dose, at the investigators' discretion.
ponatinib - Phase 2Drug
Also called AP24534
Recommended dose of ponatinib as determined in the dose escalation phase. In addition, 3 patients will receive 15 mg dose once daily for 8 days for PK testing. These PK patients may be allowed to receive the recommended dose after PK testing is complete, at the investigators' discretion.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 dose escalation | Experimental | Phase 1 Receives: Drug: ponatinib - Phase 1 |
| Phase 2 expansion | Experimental | Phase 2 Receives: Drug: ponatinib - Phase 2 |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Phase 1: Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs) as a Measure of Safety Profile to Determine Recommended Dose of Ponatinib
DLT was evaluated according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 4.0 and was defined as any of the following events: 1. Grade greater than or equal to (>=) 3 non-hematologic, with the exception of medically controllable toxicities (example; nausea, vomiting, fatigue, electrolyte disturbances, hypersensitivity reactions) lasting <=3 days, but excluding alopecia; 2. Missed doses: >25% of planned ponatinib doses over 28 days due to AEs in the first cycle; 3. Febrile neutropenia (the occurrence of an ANC <500/microliter concurrently with a temperature elevation of >101 degree Fahrenheit), when neutropenia is not related to underlying acute leukemia, as defined hematologic toxicity: Dose-limiting hematologic toxicity is the occurrence of a Grade 4 cytopenia >28 days, not related to underlying disease according to the investigator. Bone marrow examination must demonstrate <5% cellularity.
Measured: Cycle 1 (Cycle length= 28 days)
Phase 2, CP-CML Participants: Percentage of Participants With Major Cytogenetic Response (MCyR)
MCyR was defined as percentage of participants who achieved a complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) or partial cytogenetic response (PCyR) after the initiation of study treatment. Cytogenic response was the percentage of Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) metaphases in bone marrow. CCyR: no Ph+ cells. PCyR: 1% to 35% Ph+ cells. Participants entering the study already in PCyR had to achieve a CCyR in order to be considered a success for the confirmed MCyR rate.
Measured: Baseline up to 60 months
Phase 2, BP-CML and Ph+ALL: Percentage of Participants With Major Hematologic Response (MaHR)
MaHR was defined as percentage of participants with complete hematologic response (CHR) or no evidence of leukemia (NEL). MaHR response was confirmed by a peripheral blood complete blood count (CBC) and differential no earlier than 28 days after the response was observed. Response criteria for CHR was reported as white blood cells (WBC)<=institutional upper limit of normal (ULN), absolute neutrophil count (ANC)>=1000/mm^3, platelets>=100,000/mm^3, no blasts or promyelocytes in peripheral blood, BM blasts <=5%, <5% myelocytes plus metamyelocytes in peripheral blood, basophils in peripheral blood <5%, no extramedullary involvement; Response criteria for NEL reported as WBC<=institutional ULN, no blasts or promyelocytes in peripheral blood, BM blasts <=5%, <5% myelocytes plus metamyelocytes in peripheral blood, basophils in peripheral blood <5%, no extramedullary involvement, at least 1 of the following: (i) 20,000/mm^3<=platelets<100,000/mm^3; (ii) 500/mm^3<=ANC<1000/mm^3.
Measured: Baseline up to 60 months
Secondary outcomes (11)
CP-CML Participants: Percentage of Participants With CHR
Hematologic response was defined as CHR for CP-CML participants. Participants who entered the trial in CHR and continued to meet the criteria for CHR on study were analyzed as responders. Response criteria for CHR was reported as WBC <=institutional ULN, platelets <450,000 per cubic millimeter (/mm^3), no blasts or promyelocytes in peripheral blood, <5% myelocytes plus metamyelocytes in peripheral blood, basophils in peripheral blood <5%, no extramedullary involvement (including no hepatomegaly or splenomegaly).
Measured: Baseline up to 60 months
CP-CML, AP-CML, BP-CML, and Ph+ALL Participants: Percentage of Participants With Confirmed MCyR
Confirmed MCyR was defined as 2 assessments of CCyR or PCyR at least 28 days apart. Participants entering the trial in PCyR must achieve two consecutive assessments of CCyR no fewer than 28 days apart in order to be considered as meeting the criteria for confirmed MCyR. Participants entering the trial in less than PCyR must achieve two consecutive assessments of PCyR or CCyR no fewer than 28 days apart in order to be considered as meeting the criteria for confirmed MCyR. CCyR: no Ph+ cells. PCyR: 1% to 35% Ph+ cells.
Measured: Baseline up to 60 months
CP-CML, AP-CML, BP-CML, and Ph+ALL Participants: Percentage of Participants With Major Molecular Response (MMR)
MMR was defined as a ratio of reverse transcribed transcript of BCR-ABL to ABL <=0.1% on the International scale (equivalent to a 3-log reduction in transcript). Participants were non-responders in any of the following situations: BCR-ABL or ABL levels not detectable at baseline, no valid baseline or post-baseline assessment, and baseline assessment for e1a2 variant only.
Measured: Baseline up to 60 months
CP-CML, AP-CML, BP-CML, and Ph+ALL Participants: Median Time to Response (TTR)
Time to response was defined as the interval from the first dose of study treatment until the criteria for response were first met, censored at the last assessment of response. Median time to response was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method.
Measured: From the first dose of study treatment until the criteria for response were first met (up to 60 months)
CP-CML and Advanced Phase Participants: Median Duration of Response (DOR)
DOR: interval between first assessment at which criteria for response was met, until criteria for progression was met, censored at last date at which criteria for response was met. DOR was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Progression criteria for CP was: death, development of AP/BP, or loss of CHR (in absence of cytogenic response), or loss of MCyR, or increasing WBC in participant without CHR (doubling of WBCs to >20,000 on 2 occasions at least 4 weeks apart, after first week of therapy), as confirmed by development in complete blood cells (CBCs) at least 4 weeks apart; AP was: death, development of confirmed BP, loss of previous major/minor hematologic response over-2 week period, or no decrease from baseline levels in percentage blasts in peripheral blood/BM on all assessments over a 4-week period; and BP/Ph+ALL was: death/increasing blasts in peripheral blood or BM over a 4-week period. As planned, DOR is reported for all participants by entry mutation (T315I and Other).
Measured: From the first assessment at which criteria for response was met until the criteria for progression was first met (up to 60 months)
CP-CML and Advanced Phase Participants: Median Progression-free Survival (PFS)
PFS: interval from the first dose of study treatment until the criteria for progression or death were met, censored at the last response assessment. PFS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Progression criteria for CP was: death, development of AP/BP, or loss of CHR (in absence of cytogenic response), or loss of MCyR, or increasing WBC in participant without CHR (doubling of WBCs to >20,000 on 2 occasions at least 4 weeks apart, after first week of therapy), as confirmed by development in CBCs at least 4 weeks apart; AP was: death, development of confirmed BP, loss of previous major/minor hematologic response over-2 week period, or no decrease from baseline levels in percentage blasts in peripheral blood/BM on all assessments over a 4-week period; BP/Ph+ALL was: death or increasing blasts in peripheral blood or BM over a 4-week period. As planned, PFS is reported for all participants by entry mutation (T315I and Other).
Measured: From the first assessment at which criteria for response was met until the criteria for progression or death was met (up to 60 months)
CP-CML and Advanced Phase Participants: Overall Survival (OS)
OS was defined as the interval from the first dose of study treatment until death, censored at the last date at which participant was known to be alive. Overall survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. As planned, OS is reported for all participants by entry mutation (T315I and Other).

MCyR was defined as percentage of participants who achieved a complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) or partial cytogenetic response (PCyR) after the initiation of study treatment. Cytogenic response was the percentage of Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) metaphases in bone marrow. CCyR: no Ph+ cells. PCyR: 1% to 35% Ph+ cells. Participants entering the study already in PCyR had to achieve a CCyR in order to be considered a success for the confirmed MCyR rate.
Phase 2, BP-CML and Ph+ALL: Percentage of Participants With Major Hematologic Response (MaHR)
Time frame: Baseline up to 60 months
MaHR was defined as percentage of participants with complete hematologic response (CHR) or no evidence of leukemia (NEL). MaHR response was confirmed by a peripheral blood complete blood count (CBC) and differential no earlier than 28 days after the response was observed. Response criteria for CHR was reported as white blood cells (WBC)<=institutional upper limit of normal (ULN), absolute neutrophil count (ANC)>=1000/mm^3, platelets>=100,000/mm^3, no blasts or promyelocytes in peripheral blood, BM blasts <=5%, <5% myelocytes plus metamyelocytes in peripheral blood, basophils in peripheral blood <5%, no extramedullary involvement; Response criteria for NEL reported as WBC<=institutional ULN, no blasts or promyelocytes in peripheral blood, BM blasts <=5%, <5% myelocytes plus metamyelocytes in peripheral blood, basophils in peripheral blood <5%, no extramedullary involvement, at least 1 of the following: (i) 20,000/mm^3<=platelets<100,000/mm^3; (ii) 500/mm^3<=ANC<1000/mm^3.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing ponatinib - Phase 1 and ponatinib - Phase 2 in people with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Ph+ ALL), run by Ariad Pharmaceuticals at 11 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 21 inclusion and 30 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 13 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 11 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 combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Jun 2022). 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?
Phase 1: Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs) as a Measure of Safety Profile to Determine Recommended Dose of Ponatinib (time frame: Cycle 1 (Cycle length= 28 days)). The study lists 3 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 NCT01667133, which also lists 2 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 13 Jun 2022.
