About this study

Official title: An Open Label, Multi-center Nilotinib Roll-over Protocol for Patients Who Have Completed a Previous Novartis-sponsored Nilotinib Study and Are Judged by the Investigator to Benefit From Continued Nilotinib Treatment

The purpose of this study was to allow continued use of nilotinib in patients who were on nilotinib treatment in a Novartis-sponsored, Oncology Clinical Development \& Medical Affairs (CD\&MA) study and were benefiting from the treatment as judged by the investigator

Read the detailed description

This was a multi-center, open label, single-arm, phase IV study to better characterize the long-term safety of nilotinib in patients treated in Novartis-sponsored studies and who benefited from treatment with nilotinib.

Patients who were enrolled in Novartis-sponsored nilotinib studies, had benefitted from treatment with nilotinib and fulfilled all requirements in the parent study could be enrolled into the current roll-over study.

There was no sample size estimation carried out for this study.

Patients returned to the study center on a quarterly basis (12 weeks ± 1 week) for scheduled visit. Adverse Events (AEs) (non-serious and serious AEs), clinical benefit assessment by investigator and study medication dispensing information were collected.

The original protocol of the current roll-over study was designed to provide continuation of treatment with nilotinib for patients enrolled in nilotinib studies. Therefore, the original protocol did not require AEs (non-serious and serious AEs) to be collected into the clinical database and only required serious adverse events (SAEs) to be collected in the Novartis safety database throughout the study duration.

The scheduled visit frequency was annually.

However, feedback from health authorities stated that all AEs should be collected. To account for this, the protocol was amended in 2016 (Protocol amendment 3 (PA 3)), with the primary objective changed to assess long-term safety of nilotinib. Consequently, PA 3 started to require all AEs (non-serious and serious AEs) to be entered into the clinical database, in addition to the continued SAE collection into the Novartis safety database. At the same time, the scheduled visit frequency was increased from annually to quarterly, and the protocol was also amended to require an investigator assessment of clinical benefit for patients.

  • NilotinibDrug

    Also called AMN107

    Patients who were on nilotinib treatment in a Novartis-sponsored study (parent study) and were benefiting from nilotinib treatment met the criteria for enrolment into the CAMN107A2409 study and to receive continued nilotinib treatment. The starting dose of nilotinib in the CAMN107A2409 study should have been the same as the last dose administered in the parent study. After the starting dose, the dose of nilotinib was based on the investigator's judgement. The dose of nilotinib should have been ≤ 800 mg/day for adult patients, 230mg/m2 body surface area (BSA) and ≤ 800 mg/day for pediatric patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events

    An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence (eg any unfavorable and unintended sign [including abnormal laboratory findings], symptom or disease) in a clinical investigation participant after providing written informed consent for participation in the study. Therefore, an AE may or may not be temporally or causally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product.

    Serious adverse event (SAE) case data were collected in the Safety Database. Adverse event (AE) data (both non-serious and serious) were collected in the Clinical database.

    Max. = Maximum Yrs = Years Approx. = Approximately eCRF = electronic Case Report Form Time = timeframe

    Measured: SAE case data were collected the entire study duration after first dose of study treatment up to a max. time of approx. 10 yrs. AEs (both non-serious and serious) were collected in the eCRF 3 yrs after study initiation up to a max. time of approx. 7 yrs.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants With Clinical Benefit From Nilotinib

    Number of patients (pts) with clinical benefit as assessed by investigator.

    Clinical benefit data were first collected 3 years after study initiation and up to a maximum timeframe of approx. 7 years and 3 months at a patient level (up to Week 528 total at the study level).

    Pts who discontinued in the first 3 years after study initiation didn't have any clinical benefit data collected. Pts who enrolled in the first 3 years after study initiation only had clinical benefit data collected starting at approx. the third year of the study until the end of the patient's participation in the study. Pts who enrolled after the first 3 years after study initiation had all clinical benefit data collected until the end of the patient's participation in the study.

    Data for the earlier time points are provided only for later enrolled pts. Data for the later time points are provided only for the earlier enrolled pts.

    The time point per patient was calculated from the date of first drug intake.

    Measured: Clinical benefit data were first collected 3 years after study initiation and are reported at baseline, Weeks 24, 48, 72, 96, 144, 192, 240, 288, 336, 384, 432, 480, and 528.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 33 sites in Italy, Canada, United Kingdom, South Korea, United States and 11 more countries. 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 8 Feb 2024). 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?

Number of Participants With Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events (time frame: SAE case data were collected the entire study duration after first dose of study treatment up to a max. time of approx. 10 yrs. AEs (both non-serious and serious) were collected in the eCRF 3 yrs after study initiation up to a max. time of approx. 7 yrs.). 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 8 Feb 2024.
