About this study

Official title: A Phase II Multi-center, Open-label, Non-randomized Study of Nilotinib as First Line Treatment in Adult Patients With Newly Diagnosed Philadelphia Chromosome Positive (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in Chronic Phase (CML-CP)

The study was a local multicentric, open-label, non-randomized phase II study of nilotinib as a first line treatment in adult patients with newly-diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) and chronic phase myeloid leukemia (CML-CP).

Read the detailed description

This was a multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase 2 study of nilotinib as a frontline treatment for patients with Ph+ CMLCP. All patients received oral nilotinib 300 mg twice daily for a planned treatment duration of 24 months or until early discontinuation.

The primary efficacy end point was the cumulative rate of Major Molecular Response (MMR) in all participants by 12 months. Secondary efficacy end points included the rate of Complete Cytogenic Response (CCyR) at 6 and 12 months; cumulative rates of MMR up to 24 months; time to and durability of MMR; and cumulative rate of Complete Haematologic Response (CHR) by 12 months.

Patient evaluations, including hematologic assessments, were conducted every 15 days during the first 3 months, monthly until month 12, and then every 3 months until the end of the study (24 months). All efficacy analyses were performed in the intent-to treat population.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Major Molecular Response (MMR) During the First 12 Months

    Major Molecular Response (MMR) was defined as BCR-ABL1^IS ≤0.1%, on the International Scale [BCR-ABL1IS]) by 12 months. BCR is the Breakpoint Cluster Region gene / BCR gene product and ABL is the Abelson proto-oncogene. BCR-ABL is the Fusion gene from BCR and ABL/Protein product from BCR-ABL. Participants who withdrew prematurely or those who failed to provide data for the study for other reasons were designated as premature withdrawal or inevaluable, respectively, and were included in the ITT analysis as non-responders.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Major Molecular Response (MMR) up to 24 Months

    Major Molecular Response (MMR) was defined as BCR-ABL1^IS ≤0.1%, on the International Scale [BCR-ABL1IS]) by 12 months. BCR is the Breakpoint Cluster Region gene / BCR gene product and ABL is the Abelson proto-oncogene. BCR-ABL is the Fusion gene from BCR and ABL/Protein product from BCR-ABL. Participants who withdrew prematurely or those who failed to provide data for the study for other reasons were designated as premature withdrawal or inevaluable, respectively, and were included in the ITT analysis as non-responders.

    Measured: 3, 6, 9, 15, 18, 21 and 24 months

  2. Percentage of Participants With Complete Cytogenetic Response (CCyR) at Month 6 and 12

    CCyR rate is identified as the rate of patients who had 0% of Ph+ metaphase.

    Measured: Month 6 and 12

  3. Percentage of Participants With Complete Hematologic Response (CHR) at Month 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24

    A confirmed complete hematological response (CHR) is defined when all of the following criteria are achieved: WBC <10 x 109/L, thrombocyte <450 x 109/L, myelocyte + metamyelocyte <%5 in blood, no sign of blast and promyelocyte in blood, basophil <%5, and no sign of extramedullary involvement.

    Measured: Month 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24

  4. Time to Major Molecular Response (MMR)

    Time to MMR is defined as the time period from the date of first dose intake until the first documented MMR.

    Measured: 24 months

  5. Duration of Major Molecular Response (MMR)

    MMR duration is defined as the time from the date of first documented MMR to the first time of the lost MMR, progression or death.

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Nilotinib in people with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 13 sites in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 5 inclusion and 13 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Sep 2020). 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?

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Major Molecular Response (MMR) During the First 12 Months (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01274351, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 1 Sep 2020.
