About this study

This study will evaluate the proportion of subjects with chronic myeloid leukemia chronic phase that sustain major molecular response after imatinib discontinuation. To be eligible for this protocol, the subject must have received imatinib as first line regiment for at least 3 years with sustained molecular response of 4log (RM4log) or higher for one year.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be followed for 2 years, with molecular monitoring, every month in the first year and then every 2 months. Imatinib will be restarted if the major molecular response (RM3log) is lost during the study or if the subject withdraw the informed consenting.

The primary objective is to measure the number of subject that sustain the major molecular response (RM3log or BCR-ABL level below 0.1%) after 2 years of follow-up.

BCR: breakpoint cluster region

ABL: abelson murine leukemia

RM3log: major molecular response, BCR-ABL level below 0.1% (IS)

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of subjects that remain with RM3log after imatinib discontinuation

    Number of subjects that sustain BCR-ABL level below 0,1% after 24 months of follow up.

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of subjects that recover MR3log after imatinib reintroduction

    In the population that do not sustain BCR-ABL below 0,1% during the study, the time to recover the response after imatinib reintroduction will be measured

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Analysis of immunological profile of all subjects

    Study of lymphocytes population by flow cytometry, including NK and T population

    Measured: 24 months

  3. Safety and tolerability of imatinib discontinuation

    Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing imatinib discontinuation in people with Leukemia, Myeloid, Chronic-Phase, run by University of Sao Paulo General Hospital 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 3 inclusion and 6 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 23 Mar 2018. 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.

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?

Number of subjects that remain with RM3log after imatinib discontinuation (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 NCT03239886, 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 23 Mar 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
