About this study

Official title: "Phase II Multicenter Study Evaluating the Efficacy and the Safety of a Combination of Nilotinib Plus Pegylated Interferon Alpha 2a for de Novo Chronic Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Patients"

Keywords
Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, nilotinib, pegylated interferon, BCR-ABL Philadelphia chromosome, Hematologic, cytogenetic and molecular response rates and kinetics will be studied in addition to the safety of the combination
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Cumulative incidence of complete molecular remissions after 12 months of treatment with nilotinib + Pegylated Interferon (PEG-IFN)

    The trial opens for enrolment in 2011 March 7th for 18 months. Each patient will be followed for 24 months after entry.

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (11)

  1. Kinetics of Complete Molecular Response (CMR) at 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 24 months.

    CMR corresponds to a level of BCR-ABL transcripts < 0.001 % (BCR-ABL/ABL ratio < 0.001%). The BCR-ABL/ABL ratio will be analysed by Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) at 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 24 months to study kinetics of CMR.

    Measured: Patients will be enrolled for 18 months and will be followed for 24 months

  2. Stability of CMR : Proportion of patients maintaining their CMR at 18 and 24 months

    Measured: Patients will be enrolled for 18 months and will be followed for 24 months

  3. Kinetics of Major Molecular Response (MMR) at 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 24 months.

    MMR corresponds to a level of BCR-ABL transcripts < 0.1 % (BCR-ABL/ABL ratio < 0.1%). The BCR-ABL/ABL ratio is analysed by RT-PCR at 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 24 months to study kinetics of MMR.

    Measured: Patients will be enrolled for 18 months and will be followed for 24 months

  4. Stability of MMR : proportion of patients maintaining their MMR at 18 and 24 months

    Measured: Patients will be enrolled for 18 months and will be followed for 24 months

  5. Cumulative Complete Cytogenetic Remission (CCyR) rates at 3, 6 and 12 months.

    Measured: Patients will be enrolled for 18 months and will be followed for 24 months

  6. Safety (hematologic and non-hematologic) of the combination nilotinib + PEG-IFN

    Measured: Patients will be enrolled for 18 months and will be followed for 24 months

  7. Dose reductions or interruptions of each treatment studied

    Measured: Patients will be enrolled for 18 months and will be followed for 24 months

  8. Progression free survival.

    Measured: Patients will be enrolled for 18 months and will be followed for 24 months

  9. Overall survival.

    Measured: Patients will be enrolled for 18 months and will be followed for 24 months

  10. Quality of life on nilotinib + PEG-IFN

    Measured: Patients will be enrolled for 18 months and will be followed for 24 months

  11. Event free survival.

    Measured: Patients will be enrolled for 18 months and will be followed for 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Nilotinib,Novartis,300 mg twice a day +Pegylated interferon 2a,Roche, 45 microg weekly starting Month 2-Month 12 or beyond according to investigator choice. in people with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 17 inclusion and 28 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 28 May 2019. 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 France. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Cumulative incidence of complete molecular remissions after 12 months of treatment with nilotinib + Pegylated Interferon (PEG-IFN) (time frame: 24 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 NCT01294618, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 28 May 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
