What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
midostaurinDrug
Also called PKC412
Midostaurin 25 mg/mL oral solution was provided in bottles of 50 mL, administered with water. The pediatric starting dose of midostaurin was set at 30 mg/m2 bid and was not to exceed 60 mg/m2 bid.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| 30 mg/m^2 bid | Experimental | Participants received bodyweight and body surface area (BSA) stratified dose of midostaurin 30 mg/m^2 twice daily (bid) through oral route. The total daily dose in 30 mg/m^2 bid cohort was 60 mg/m^2. Receives: Drug: midostaurin |
| 60 mg/m^2 bid | Experimental | Participants received bodyweight and BSA stratified dose of midostaurin 60 mg/m^2 bid through oral route. The total daily dose in 60 mg/m^2 bid cohort was 120 mg/m^2. Receives: Drug: midostaurin |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Midostaurin- Posterior Probability of DLT
MTD was defined as highest dose level for which no more than 1 participant in a dose cohort experienced dose limiting toxicity (DLT), based on a Bayesian logistic regression model (BLRM) employing the escalation with overdose control (EWOC) principle. A DLT was defined as a grade 3 or 4 non-hematological adverse event (AE) or abnormal laboratory value related to study drug. Mean and the 95% posterior probability estimates of having a DLT by age strata and dose is presented. Estimation of MTD and/or recommended dose for expansion (RDE) at the dose-escalation phase of the study was based upon the estimation of the probability of DLT for participants in the dose-determining set (DDS).
Measured: Baseline, End of dose escalation phase (6 months)
Secondary outcomes (5)
Percentage of Participants With Best Overall Response by Indication
The best overall clinical response was determined as per the clinical assessment done by the investigator. Responders were defined as all participants with a best clinical response of leukemia free state, morphological complete remission, incomplete morphological complete remission, partial remission, bone marrow blast response, bone marrow minor blast response, peripheral blood blast response, minor peripheral blood blast response. Participants with stable disease, progressive disease and with missing tumour assessment or who discontinued the study or who died before having their first assessment were considered as non-responders. Stable disease was defined as failure to achieve any of the above response. Progressive disease was defined as doubling of the bone marrow blast percentage from baseline in participants with <40% bone marrow blasts at baseline, or a 50% increase in bone marrow blast percentage from baseline in participants with >40% bone marrow blasts at baseline,
Measured: Baseline, Day 15 (Day 1 of Cycle 2), Day 22 (Day 8 of Cycle 2), Day 29(Day 1 of Cycle 9), End of treatment (up to 24 months after last dose or until death whichever occurred first)
Time to Response With Midostaurin
Time to response was defined as the time from the date of start of midostaurin treatment to the date of first response. The best overall clinical response was determined as per the clinical assessment done by the investigator. Responders were defined as all participants with a best clinical response of leukemia free state, morphological complete remission, incomplete morphological complete remission, partial remission, bone marrow blast response, bone marrow minor blast response, peripheral blood blast response, minor peripheral blood blast response. Time to response was calculated by using the formula = (date of first response -date of start of midostaurin) +1 day.
Measured: Baseline, End of treatment (up to 24 months after last dose or until death whichever occurred first)
Overall Survival With Midostaurin
Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from start of treatment to date of death due to any cause. The percentage (%) event-free probability estimates were obtained from the Kaplan-Meier survival estimates.
Measured: Baseline, End of treatment (up to 24 months after last dose or until death whichever occurred first)
Plasma Concentrations of Midostaurin and Its Metabolites CGP52421 and CGP62221
The plasma concentrations of midostaurin (PKC412) and its two major metabolites, CGP62221 and CGP52421 were determined by using a validated liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method.
Measured: Day 1, Day 5, Day 7, Day 15 (Day 1 of Cycle 2), Day 29 (Day 1 of Cycle 3)
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Treatment Related AEs or SAEs and Death During the Study
An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study drug, whether or not related to study drug. A SAE was defined as an event which was fatal or life threatening, required or prolonged hospitalization, was significantly or permanently disabling or incapacitating, constituted a congenital anomaly or a birth defect, or encompassed any other clinically significant event that could jeopardize the participant or require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the aforementioned outcomes. Treatment related AEs or SAEs were defined as AEs or SAEs that were suspected to be related to study treatment as per investigator. On treatment death was a fatal event leading to permanent cessations of all vital functions of the body.
Measured: Baseline (start of study treatment) up to End of treatment (up to 24 months after last dose or until death whichever occurred first)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing midostaurin in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 8 sites in 5 countries.
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 4 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 8 sites in Italy, United States, France, Netherlands, Sweden. 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.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Dec 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Midostaurin- Posterior Probability of DLT (time frame: Baseline, End of dose escalation phase (6 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 22 Dec 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
