Optimization of TKIs Treatment and Quality of Life in Ph+ CML Patients ≥60 Years in Deep Molecular Response

August 11, 2024 updated by: Prof Domenico Russo, Azienda Socio Sanitaria Territoriale degli Spedali Civili di Brescia

Phase-III Randomized Study to Optimize TKIs Multiple Approaches - (OPTkIMA) - and Quality of Life (QoL) in Elderly Patients (≥60 Years) With Ph+ Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) and MR3.0 / MR4.0 Stable Molecular Response

In this phase III clinical randomized study, "fixed" intermittent administration (one month ON/one month OFF) of TKIs (control arm), will be compared with "progressive" intermittent administration (one month ON/one month OFF for the 1st year; one month ON/two months OFF for the 2nd year; one month ON/three months OFF for the 3rd year) (experimental arm). Imatinib (Glivec), or Nilotinib (Tasigna), or Dasatinib (Sprycel) will be given intermittently at the same daily dose that was given daily at the time of the enrollment . Chronic phase Ph+ CML patients in stable major molecular response (MR3.0 or MR4.0) after ≥2 years of standard treatment with IM, NIL, or DAS will be randomized 1:1 to receive "fixed" INTERIM or "progressive" INTERIM. Randomization will be stratified by type of TKI (IM, NIL, or DAS,) and by depth of molecular response (MR3.0or MR4.0). The study is aimed to evaluate if a progressive increase of intermittent treatment discontinuation until 3 months is able to improve QoL outcomes with respect to "fixed" intermittent administration of TKIs (control arm) and to maintain MR3.0 / MR4.0 molecular response. Patients' self reported EORTC QLQ-C30 outcome measure will be assessed throughout the three years follow up period. The QoL results in this trial will be presented in accordance with high methodological quality criteria for documenting patient-reported outcomes (PRO) data in RCTs, including the CONSORT PRO recommendations. Furthermore, the study could give additional clinical and biological information to optimize TKIs therapy in elderly.

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.

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

60 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

  2. Age ≥ 60 years old
  3. Stable MR3.0/ MR4.0 after at least 2 years of treatment with standard (daily administration) IM, NIL, or DAS therapy; the stability of molecular response will be documented by at least 3 consecutive molecular analyses over the last 12 months.
  4. Having completed the QoL baseline evaluation (i.e., before randomization)
  5. Written informed consent prior to any study procedures

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with Ph+ CML in accelerated/blastic phase (AP/BP), or in late CP previously treated (i.e. IFNalpha+/- low dose Ara-C, Hydroxurea, allogeneic stem cell transplantation, etc)
  2. Age < 60 years old
  3. Less than 2 years of treatment with standard (continuous administration) IM, NIL or DAS therapy

3. Absence of stable MR3.0/MR4.0 as documented by at least 3 consecutive molecular analyses over the last 12 months 4. No written informed consent prior to any study procedures. 5. Having any kind of psychiatric disorder or major cognitive dysfunction hampering a QoL evaluation (as judged by the physician).
