Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Up to 18 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Diagnose: suspected CML (hematology and/or myelogram and/or immunophenotyping and/or Leukocyte alkaline phosphatase [LAP]) to be confirmed, after, by cytogenetic and/or molecular biology. OBS: only CML Ph+ newly-diagnose in chronic or accelerate phase; resistant CML Ph+ to Interferon α (INF-α), Hydroxyurea and/or low-dose ARA-C in chronic or accelerate phase; CML Ph+ with cytogenetic relapse after BMT, that didn't use Imatinib previously, in chronic or accelerate phase.
  • Female patients of childbearing age, should have pregnancy test (blood βhCG) performed before treatment initiation. Effective contraception must be used. Pregnant women won't be included.
  • Karnofsky and Lansky scale: ≥40.
  • Life expectation > 8 weeks.
  • Laboratory: renal function (serum creatinine ≤ 1,5 x ULN and/or Clearance ≥70 ml/min/1,73m2), hepatic function (total bilirubin ≤ 1,5 x ULN, TGP < 3 x ULN and albumin > 2 g/dl.
  • CNS toxicity ≤ II
  • Cardiac function: normal ejection fraction.
  • Signed ICF by child legal responsible.

Who cannot join

  • Patient receiving any other tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI).
  • Pregnant patient or breastfeeding.
  • Patient considered incapable to follow purposed treatment.
  • Patients with molecular relapsed.
  • Medications:
  • Colony stimulating: it cannot be administered at least 1 week before treatment.

  • Anticonvulsants: Imatinib is metabolized by P-450 enzyme, thereby subject cannot receive drug that activates the P-450 system. The anticonvulsants allowed are valproic acid and benzodiazepines.
  • Anticoagulants: The use of warfarin (Marevan) is not allowed. If anticoagulant is needed, low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) can be used. Avoid anticoagulants with platelets < 50000.
  • INF-Α 48h before D1.
  • Hydroxyurea 24h before D1.
  • ARA-C doses >100 mg/m2 for 5-7 days, 14 days before D1.
  • Anthracyclines, Mitoxantrone or Etoposide 21 days before D1.
  • Any other chemotherapeutic agent 28 days before D1.
  • Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT) 6 weeks before D1.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Imatinib Mesylate in people with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) With Philadelphia Chromosome-positive (Ph+), run by Renato Melaragno at 1 site in Brazil.

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 8 inclusion and 14 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Mar 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. 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 phase mean?

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Evaluate the complete cytogenetic response with continuous-use of Imatinib. (time frame: Up to 12 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 26 Mar 2013.
