About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Generic Imatinib in a Real-World Setting Among Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Patients in Egypt

The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of generic imatinib under usual clinical practice in patients of Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients in chronic phase (CP) in Egypt

Read the detailed description

An observational, multi-center, prospective cohort study to assess the effectiveness and safety of generic Imatinib (Carcemia®) in patients with Ph+ CML who are newly diagnosed or patients who will be switched from the reference product (Glivec® ) to Carcemia® where treatment will be prescribed by the investigator in accordance with clinical practice where no visits or intervention(s) additional to the daily practice will be performed.

Eligible Ph+ CML patients in both cohorts will be followed up for a total of 18 months.

Second cohortPatients switched from reference product (Glivec® )

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients who achieve and maintain major molecular response (MMR)

    Major molecular response (MMR) is measured using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) test and is defined as BCR-ABL1 ≤ 0.1%

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Incidence of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) to generic Imatinib (Carcemia®)

    Number, type, severity and frequency of adverse events (AEs), serious AEs (SAEs), and clinically relevant changes in laboratory tests according to laboratory reference ranges

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Progression free survival (PFS)

    Proportion of CML patients who will not experience disease progression from enrollment to 18 months study endpoint.

    Measured: 18 months

  3. Event free survival (EFS)

    Proportion of CML patients who will not experience event from enrollment to 18 months study endpoint

    Measured: 18 months

  4. Survival without blastic phase (BP)

    Proportion of CML patients who will not experience blastic phase (BP) from enrollment to 18 months study endpoint.

    Measured: 18 months

  5. Overall survival (OS)

    Proportion of CML patients who will not die till 18 months study endpoint.

    Measured: 18 months

  6. Complete cytogenetic response (CCgR)

    Proportion of CML patients who will achieve no Ph+ metaphases at 12 months study endpoint by conventional cytogenetics and/or FISH test.

    Measured: 12 months

  7. Complete molecular response (CMR)

    Proportion of CML patients who will achieve undetectable BCR-ABL mRNA transcripts by RQ-PCR test in two consecutive blood samples of adequate quality.

    Measured: 12 months

  8. Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL)

    Mean change in Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) utilizing EORTC QOLCML24 questionnaire throughout treatment visits

    Measured: 18 months

  9. Treatment compliance on generic Imatinib

    Evaluated by identifying the frequency of not taking the medications as prescribed and the reasons. The decision on non-compliance is based on the treating physician's judgment.

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Philadelphia Chromosome-positive Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in Chronic Phase, run by Hikma Pharmaceuticals LLC at 1 site in Egypt.

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 11 inclusion and 3 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 23 Feb 2021. 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 Egypt. 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?

Proportion of patients who achieve and maintain major molecular response (MMR) (time frame: 12 months). 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 23 Feb 2021.
