Study of Nilotinib in Ph+ CML-CP Patients With Low Imatinib Trough Plasma Concentrations

Information source: Novartis
Information obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov on October 04, 2010
Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: CML; Philadelphia Chromosome Positive (Ph+); Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Chronic Phase(CML-CP) Patients With Low Imatinib Trough Levels

Intervention: nilotinib (Drug)

Phase: Phase 2

Status: Recruiting

Sponsored by: Novartis

Summary

This study is to determine the number of European Leukemia Network (ELN)guideline defined treatment failure events from time of study entry in CML-CP patients with low imatinib trough concentrations treated with nilotinib.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Multi-center, Single Arm Study of Nilotinib in Philadelphia Chromosome Positive (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in Chronic Phase (CML-CP) Patients With Low Imatinib Trough Plasma Concentrations

Study design: Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: To determine the number of ELN-guideline defined treatment failure events from time of study entry in CML-CP patients with low imatinib trough concentrations (<850 ng/mL) treated with nilotinib.

Secondary outcome:

To determine the proportion of ELN-defined optimal responses on nilotinib.

To determine the rate and time to loss of CCyR, MMR and CMR on nilotinib.

To determine the time to and duration of the CCyR, MMR and CMR achieved on nilotinib.

To determine EFS, PFS and OS with up to 2 years of nilotinib treatment and overall safety profile

prolong the QT interval and cannot be either discontinued or switched to a different medication prior to starting study drug.

- Any other malignancy that is clinically significant or requires active intervention.

- Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to Day 1 of study or who have not recovered from

prior surgery.

- Treatment with other investigational agents within 30 days of Day 1.
