General information about the trial
Main objective of the trial
The objective of the core study was to determine the rate of complete and major cytogenetic response to STTI571 as demonstrated by a decrease in the percentage of Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) cells in the bone marrow, for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia who were hematologically or cytogenetically refractory to, or intolerant of, interferon-alpha. The objective of the extension phase was to decrease the frequency of bone marrow evaluations to once a year from once every 6 months for all patients who have achieved a complete cytogenetic response, to enable patients to continue to have access to study treatment, and to decrease data collection after month 48 of the extension phase to include only overall survival and serious adverse events.
Protection of trial subjects
The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial.

Hematologic Failure
Arm description
Subjects failed to achieve a complete hematologic response, defined as lasting for at least 1 month despite 6 or more months of an interferon-alpha containing regimen, or had a rising WBC count (to a level 20 x 109/L) confirmed by two samples taken at least two weeks apart after achieving a complete hematological response while receiving an interferon- alpha containing regimen of at least 25 million international units (MIU) per week. During the Core Phase of the study, subjects received STI571 daily for up to 12 months. Subjects completing 12 months of therapy were eligible to continue treatment in the Extension Phase of the study, and they continued STI571 for as long as the therapy was beneficial or until death, intolerable toxicity or the decision to discontinue by the investigator, whichever came first.

Percent of Subjects With Cytogenetic Response to STI571 [1]
End point description
Response was evaluated from bone marrow aspirates and biopsy samples. Bone marrow (BM) cytogenetic studies were performed every 3 months during the core phase of the study, then twice yearly, then annually. Based on the percentage of Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) cells = (positive cells/ examined cells)x100, at each BM assessment the cytogenetic response was classified as: Complete, 0% Ph+ cells; Partial, >0 – 35% Ph+ cells; Minor, >35 – 65% Ph+ cells; and Minimal, >65 – 95% Ph+ cells. Major cytogenetic response was defined as confirmed complete or partial response. This endpoint analyzed the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population, defined as all subjects enrolled in the study.

Duration of hematologic response was defined as the time from the first documentation of the complete hematologic response (as defined above) to the date the loss of complete hematologic response is documented. Loss of complete hematological response was defined as a rising WBC count (increased to a level above the upper limit of normal (ULN) at the laboratory where the analysis was performed confirmed by two samples obtained one month apart). The mean survival time and its standard error were underestimated because the largest observation was censored and the estimation was restricted to the largest event time.

Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
Date
Amendment
16 Dec 1999
In addition to minor clarifications to the protocol, the purpose of this amendment was: - To clarify the definition of the interferon refractory patient population. - To include patients with a documented hematologic resistance to an interferonalpha containing regimen. - To revise the statistical analysis for the inclusion of patients with a documented hematologic resistance to an interferon-alpha containing regimen. - To add two additional timepoints to the full pharmacokinetic profile to sampling to more accurately evalute the profile of STI571. - To expand the time for the screening bone marrow from within one week of study start to within one month.
12 Sep 2000
The purpose of this amendment was: - To clarify dose interruptions/reductions for Grade 3-4 hematologic toxicity (as outlined in letter to investigators dated 24 April 2000). - To revise the guidelines for oral administration of STI571 relative to breakfast. Preliminary study of the effect of food on the bioavailability of STI571 indicate that when administered with food STI571 had a minimal impact on the bioavailability, which did not achieve statistical significance (refer to the Investigator´s Brochure, dated June 2000). STI571 may be administered before, during or after meals. - To clarify Visit Schedule (Extension Phase) specifically for bone marrow exams. In the Extension Phase bone marrows are due every 12 weeks, therefore, the first bone marrow should be done on Week 61, not Week 55. - To update patient informed consent to include changes to administration of STI571 and evolving STI571 safety profile (refer to the Investigator´s Brochure, dated June 2000).
13 Mar 2008
Changes to the protocol are listed below: - Follow up study visits will be decreased from every six months to every year (±3 months) at which time a yearly supply of study drug will be dispensed. - For discontinued patients, survival information data collection will be decreased from every six months to every year (±3 months) until death, or for a period of up to a total of five years, inclusive from the date the patient commenced the extension protocol, whichever is longer. - The addition of a new section to include protocol deviation language that states that under no circumstances are protocol deviations allowed. - Patients will be discontinued if they do not adhere to the study requirements. - Study drug will only be shipped directly to the investigational sites only. - Study drug STI571 tablets will be used instead of capsules. - Bone marrow evaluations are no longer required.
17 Aug 2012
Changes to the protocol, and the sections affected, are detailed below: Section 1, Introduction - Addition of statement to reflect that the study will be closed following the final visit of patients. Patients that are currently benefiting from the study medication can enroll in the roll-over protocol (CSTI571A2406) and receive the same dose of imatinib. Section 3.3.1, Dispensing of Drug - Addition of statement to reflect that study treatment will not be dispensed to the patients at their final visit. On-going patients that are currently benefiting from the treatment with imatinib as determined by the investigator, will continue to have access to imatinib in the roll-over protocol (CSTI571A2406). Section 3.4.1, Visit Schedule - The evaluation schedule is updated to reflect that once the roll-over protocol is approved at the study site patients will have their final visit. No study treatment will be dispensed to the patient at this final visit. Patients will need to sign an informed consent (amendment 2) as part of their final visit on the parent study informing them about these changes. Section 3.4.2.2, Overall Survival - Addition of statement for patients that have discontinued the study treatment no further follow-up visits are to be conducted. Section 5, Data Management - Addition of statement to reflect that the investigator must enter the information for patients who have discontinued the study drug as well as for those patients who will enroll in the roll-over protocol. For those patients given the opportunity to enroll in the roll-over protocol the Comments CRF is to document “Patient to enroll in Study CSTI571A2406” or similar wording
