Trial summary

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder characterized by a translocation between chromosome 9 and 22, leading to a pathogenic tyrosine kinase signal transduction protein. CML can be treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), which inhibit BCR/ABL kinase, such as imatinib. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pulmonary Vascular Changes in Patients With Chronic Myeloid Leukemia With Second-line Therapy Dasatinib vs. Nilotinib

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder characterized by a translocation between chromosome 9 and 22, leading to a pathogenic tyrosine kinase signal transduction protein. CML can be treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), which inhibit BCR/ABL kinase, such as imatinib. In about 20% of CML patients who are treated by imatinib, a complete cytogenetic response cannot be achieved. The other two novel TKIs (dasatinib and nilotinib), achieve higher rates of complete cytogenetic response and they are proposed as second-line therapy for imatinib-resistant patients or for those who do not tolerate imatinib. Dasatinib inhibits BCR/ABL kinase in about >300 times in vitro in more than imatinib and also inhibits several other kinases, including the Src family. Src tyrosine kinase is crucial for potassium channel function in human pulmonary arteries. Imatinib and nilotinib do not inhibit the Src.

Incident cases of precapillary PH have been reported in patients who have CML treated with the dasatinib. Improvements were usually observed after withdrawal of dasatinib.

This study is designed to identify incident cases of dasatinib-associated PH and describe pulmonary vascular changes induced by dasatinib. As comparison population will be patients who receive another second-line TKI (nilotinib).

Read the detailed description

Doppler echocardiography at rest will be performed in each patient. Patients without exercise capacity limitation an exercise test (Doppler echocardiography with spiroergometry) will be performed. Patients who show elevated SPAP at rest or during exercise (in this study SPAP ≥ 40 mmHg) or with reduced exercise capacity (peak VO2 < 75%) a right heart catheterization (RHC) will be suggested. Additionally for the evaluation of exercise capacity a 6 MWD will be performed. This work- up of patients allows clinical and hemodynamic evaluation.

What is being measured

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

  1. systolic pulmonary arterial pressure during exercise (50W)

    In patients who undergo stressechocardiography: systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (SPAP) at 50W will be measured and the comparison between patients under dasatinib and nilotinib therapy will be performed.

    Measured: at baseline

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. peak VO2

    Mean PAP at rest, mPAP at 50W, peak VO2, 6 minute walk distance (6MWD), N terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) at "dasatinib" vs."nilotinib" patients.

    Changes of SPAP at 50 W, pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) at rest, changes of mPAP at rest and at 50W, peak VO2, 6 MWD, NT-pro BNP- in patients with dasatinib and nilotinib between the baseline and 6 months after.

    Measured: At baseline

  2. change of pulmonary arterial pressure

    Changes of SPAP at 50 W, pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) at rest, changes of mPAP at rest and at 50W, peak VO2, 6 MWD, NT-pro BNP- in patients with dasatinib and nilotinib between the baseline and 6 months after.

    Measured: between baseline and after 6 months

  3. Pulmonary vascular resistance

    In patients who undergo a RHC: pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) at rest will be measured and the comparison of patients with dasatinib and nilotinib therapy will be performed.

    Measured: at baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, run by Medical University of Graz at 1 site in Austria.

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 2 inclusion and 12 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 9 Sep 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Austria. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

systolic pulmonary arterial pressure during exercise (50W) (time frame: at baseline). 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 9 Sep 2015.
