About this study

Official title: A Multi-center Study of the Discontinuation of Imatinib in Adult Patients With Ph+ CML in CP Who Have a Complete Molecular Response to Imatinib

This prospective study is performed to identify safer and more concrete indicators of successful discontinuation and explore contributing factors for sustained undetectable transcript

Read the detailed description

Imatinib (IM) treatment has been the standard of care for chronic phase (CP) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and approximately 50% of CP CML patients who received IM treatment achieve complete molecular response (CMR) at 6-7 years.(Hochhaus A et al. Leukemia 2009;23:1054-1061, Hughes et al. Blood 2008;112:334) The recent data from a study aimed to assess whether IM can be discontinued in patients with a CMR lasting at least 2 years showed the probability of persistent CMR at 12 months was 41%, and suggested IM can be safely discontinued, at least in some patients with sustained CMR. (Mahon et al. Lancet Oncol 2010;11:1029-1035) However, to define whether discontinuation of IM treatment can be safely employed, further validation and much longer follow-up are needed.

Aims This prospective study is performed to identify safer and more concrete indicators of successful discontinuation and explore contributing factors for sustained undetectable transcript.

Primary Objective:

  • To evaluate the probability of persistent undetectable molecular residual disease (UMRD) and MR4.5 at 12 months after discontinuation
  • To measure the duration of persistent UMRD and MR4.5 after discontinuation
  • To identify contributing factors for sustained undetectable transcript

Secondary Objective:

  • To evaluate the probability of major molecular response (MMR) loss
  • To evaluate the time taken to lose MMR at 12 months after discontinuation
  • In patients with loss of MMR, the probability of re-achieving MMR/MR4.5
  • To measure the time taken to re-achieve MMR/MR4.5 after IM resumption
  • To identify contributing factors for sustained re-achieve MMR/MR4.5

Trial Design This is a prospective, multicenter, non-randomised IM discontinuation study.

Response Evaluation After discontinuation, molecular response was monitored using RQ-PCR assay every month up to 6 month follow-up, every 2 months up to 12 month follow-up, and every 3 months thereafter. The loss of MMR, MR4.5, and UMRD were defined on 2 consecutive assessments.

If loss of MMR occurred, IM treatment was re-introduced. Written informed consents were obtained for all patients

What is being measured

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

  1. Probability of persistent undetectable molecular residual disease (UMRD) and MR4.5

    Our primary objectives were to evaluate the probability of persistent undetectable molecular residual disease (UMRD) and MR4.5 at 12 months after discontinuation, to measure the duration of persistent UMRD and MR4.5 after discontinuation, and to identify contributing factors for sustained undetectable transcript.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Imatinib treatment discontinuing in people with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia and Imatinib, run by Seoul St. Mary's Hospital at 2 sites in South Korea.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jan 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in South Korea. 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.

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?

Contact Sahee Park, MS (+82-2-2258-7030, saheepark@catholic.ac.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Probability of persistent undetectable molecular residual disease (UMRD) and MR4.5 (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 NCT01564836, 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 13 Jan 2014.
