About this study

Official title: Phase 2 Study to Assess the Safety and Efficiency of Pioglitazone in Combination With Imatinib Mesylate to Treat Chronic Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Patients

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficiency of adding pioglitazone to chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia patients having received imatinib mesylate who have acquired a stable molecular response but not complete molecular response.

Read the detailed description

Although tyrosine-kinase inhibitors have profoundly converted the outcomes of chronic myelogenous leukemia patients ,the most of who could have a complete cytogenetic response, a large majority of patients could not come to a complete molecular response that is undetectable in breakpoint cluster region-Abelson chimeric oncogene transcripts. According to some previous researches, pioglitazone may target leukemia stem cells and induce them into cell cycle making them exit from quiescent undivided states. Subsequently, pioglitazone may gradually erode leukemia stem cells leading to undetectable minimal residual disease. Thus the investigators expect to assess the safety and efficiency of pioglitazone in combination with imatinib mesylate in clinical trials. Maybe the combination therapy induce more patients in a detectable molecular response into a deeper molecular response. Furthermore, pioglitazone may be extensively adapted into the treatment of chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia patients as a common protocol.

  1. the time for patients to complete molecular response from the beginning of adding pioglitazone

    Measured: one year

  2. the incidence rate of severe side effect or complication

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pioglitazone and imatinib mesylate in people with Leukemia, Myelogenous, Chronic, BCR-ABL Positive, run by Meng Li.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Feb 2016. 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?

Contact Li Meng (13396070793, mengli19@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the rate of complete molecular response after the treatment of pioglitazone in combination with imatinib mesylate (time frame: one year). 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 NCT02687425, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 22 Feb 2016.
