Protein-Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (STI571) for Treatment of Patients With Ph+ Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in Accelerated and Blastic Phase (CML003)

August 9, 2007 updated by: University of Bologna

Protein-Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (STI571) for Treatment of Patients With Ph+ Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in Accelerated and Blastic Phase. A Phase II Study

This is a phase II, multi-center, open-label, non-randomized trial. During Part 1 of the trial, patients will receive once daily oral administration of STI571 at a dose of 600 mg for 24 weeks. After completing 24 weeks of therapy, patients may be eligible to receive additional therapy during Part 2 of the trial provided that, in the opinion of the investigator, the patient has benefited from treatment with STI571 and in the absence of safety concerns. During Part 2 (which is of indefinite duration), patients will continue to receive STI571 on a daily basis until either death, the development of intolerable toxicity or the investigator feels it is no longer in the patient's best interest to continue therapy, whichever comes first.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Genders Eligible for Study

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male or female patients * 18 years of age

  2. Accelerated phase of CML defined as the presence of one or more of the following:

    • percentage of blasts in blood or bone marrow * 15% but < 30%
    • percentage of blasts plus promyelocytes in the peripheral blood or bone marrow * 30% (providing that < 30% blasts are present in the bone marrow)
    • peripheral basophils * 20%
    • thrombocytopenia < 100 x 109/L unrelated to therapy These criteria must be met within 4 weeks of administration of first dose of trial treatment.

  3. Blastic phase of CML defined as the presence of one or more of the following:

    • percentage of blasts in blood or bone marrow * 30%
    • percentage of blasts and promyelocytes in blood or bone marrow * 50%
    • documented extramedullary blast involvement (skin, lymph node, bone, lung).
  4. Voluntary written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients of childbearing potential wihout a negative pregnancy test prior to the initiation of study drug. Barrier contraceptive precautions are to be used throughout the trial in both sexes.
  2. Patients with an ECOG Performance Status Score ** 3 (see Section 7.2.1)
  3. Creatinine levels more than 2 x's the ULN at the laboratory where the analysis was performed.
  4. Total serum bilirubin more than 1.5 x's the upper limit of the normal range (ULN) at the laboratory where the analyses were performed; in patients with clinically suspected leukemic involvement of the liver, total bilirubin more than 3 x's the ULN
  5. AST (SGOT) or ALT (SGPT) more than 3 x's the upper limit of the normal range (ULN) at the laboratory where the analyses were performed; in patients with clinically suspected leukemic involvement of the liver, AST and ALT more than 5 x's the ULN
  6. Patients receiving treatment with interferon-alpha within 48 hours of Day 1.
  7. Patients receiving treatment with hydroxyurea within 24 hours of Day 1
  8. Patients receiving treatment with homoharringtonine within 14 days of Day 1
  9. Patients receiving treatment with low-dose cytosine arabinoside (< 30 mg/m2 every 12 to 24 hours administered daily) within seven days of Day 1
  10. Patients receiving treatment with moderate dose cytosine arabinoside (100-200 mg/m2 for 5 to 6 days) within 14 days of Day 1.
  11. Patients receiving treatment with high-dose cytosine arabinoside (1-3 g(m2 every 12 to 24 hours for six to 12 doses) within 28 days of Day 1.
  12. Patients receiving anthracyclines, mitoxantrone, etoposide, methotrexate or cyclophosphamide within 21 days of Day1.
  13. Patients receiving busulfan within six weeks of Day 1.
  14. Patients receiving anti-leukemic agents not included in Exclusion Criteria 6-13 should not begin treatment with STI571 until sufficient time has elapsed for potential recovery to have occurred in the nadir in blood counts. In practice, a full recovery of blood counts may not be possible due to progression of the underlying disease.
  15. Patients receiving any hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and who have not achieved full hematopoietic recovery following the transplant
  16. Patients receiving any other investigational agents within 28 days of Day 1.

  18. Patients with any serious concomitant medical condition
  19. Patients with a history of non-compliance to medical regimens or who are considered potentially unreliable.
  20. Patients with a prior diagnosis of accelerated or blastic phase who are in remission and do not fit inclusion criteria, are not eligible.
  21. Patients who are likely to be submitted to any procedure of stem cell transplantation before the end of the treatment (6 months), are not eligible.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
To determine the rate of hematological response lasting * 4 weeks in adult patients with Ph chromosome positive CML in accelerated and blastic phase

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
duration of hematological response and overall survival, cytogenetic response and safety
