Open label, phase II study to evaluate efficacy and safety of oral nilotinib in Philadelphia positive (Ph+) chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) pediatric patients.

A multi-center, open label, non-controlled phase II study to evaluate efficacy and safety of oral nilotinib in pediatric patients with newly diagnosed Ph+ chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in chronic phase (CP) or with Ph+ CML in CP or accelerated phase (AP) resistant or intolerant to either imatinib or dasatinib

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: 1. To assess efficacy of nilotinib in pediatric patients with Ph+ CML CP resistant or intolerant to either imatinib or dasatinib 2. To assess efficacy of nilotinib in pediatric patients with Ph+ CML AP resistant or intolerant to either imatinib or dasatinib 3. To assess efficacy of nilotinib in pediatric patients with newly diagnosed Ph+ CML CP;Secondary Objective: 1. To further characterize efficacy and PK profile of nilotinib in pediatric patients with Ph+ CML 2. To further characterize safety and tolerability of nilotinib in pediatric patients with Ph+ CML 3. To identify emerging signs of resistance to nilotinib 4. To describe acceptability of the study drug formulation;Primary end point(s): 1. Rate of Major Molecular Responder (MMR) by BCRABL RQ-PCR analysis from peripheral blood by 12 months 2. Rate of Major Cytogenetic Responder (MCyR) measured by the percentage of Ph+ metaphases in bone marrow by 12 months 3. Rate of Confirmed Hematological Responder (CHR) measured by complete blood count by 3 months;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. 12 months 2. 12 months 3. 3 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. Time to response of primary endpoints 2. Duration of response 3. Time to disease progression 4. Overall Survival (OS) 5. Rate of major cytogenetic response (MCyR) and confirmed cytogenetic response (CCR) in all patients for timepoints not already analyzed in primary endpoints 6. BCR-ABL transcript levels determined with standard protocols in peripheral blood and bone marrow for all time points with available data 7. Rate of MMR and CHR in all patients for timepoints not already analyzed in primary endpoints;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 months 2. up to 24 months 3. up to 24 months 4. up to 24 months or date of last contact in follow-up 5. up to 24 months 6. up to 24 months 7. up to 24 months
