A study of effect and safety of a new combination of drugs for chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase. Bosutinib is the basis treatment and patients will be randomized to receive or not to receive a long-acting low dose of Ropeginterferon.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To estimate efficacy of the addition of RoPegIFN to BOS in terms of deep molecular response with the aim of increasing the proportion of patients who may achieve treatment free remission. ;Secondary Objective: •To compare cytogenetic and molecular response including kinetics through the treatment course. •To assess the proportion of patients eligible for randomization after the initial 3 months of BOS. •To determine and to compare safety and tolerability of the treatment in each arm. •To estimate reasons and cumulative rates of RoPegIFN and BOS discontinuation and the median dose of each drug by study arm. •To evaluate the tolerability, of a step-by-step dose schedule for BOS initiation (BOSUSTEP substudy) •To estimate the progression free, event-free and overall survival in each arm. •To estimate the proportion of patients achieving a durable deep molecular response and secondary eligibility for treatment discontinuation. •To compare the measurement of deep molecular response (by standard RTQPCR and digital droplet PCR (ddPCR), •To estimate and compare the rate of successful treatment discontinuation after M48 in each arm ;Primary end point(s): To compare the rate of molecular response 4 (MR4) at 12 months in each treatment arm.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 months of treatment

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • The rates of molecular responses MR2, MR3, MR4, MR4.5, at 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24 months and every 6 months thereafter in each arm. • The cumulative incidence of MR3, MR4, MR4.5 within the same periods in each arm. • The rates of complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) at 3, 6, 12 months. • The rates of undetectable molecular responses for the patients who achieved an MR4 and an MR4.5 in each arm. • The rates of MR4 and MR4.5 by standard RTQPCR IS and digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) on the centralized molecular samples, for the patients who achieve an MR4 or better: comparison for sensitivity and accuracy of the 2 methods at key time points to be decided (ie Month 12 and Month 48) • Time to and duration of CCyR, MR3, MR4, MR4.5. • The proportion of patients eligible for randomization after 3 months of BOS • The rates and characteristics of severe adverse events (SAE) and adverse events (AE) related to BOS and RoPegIFN, from clinical and biological assessments: type and grade according to the NCI CTCAE v4.03. • The dose intensity of RoPegIFN and BOS administered during the first two years of study treatment. The cumulative incidence of discontinuation of the therapies. Reasons of discontinuation. • Other endpoints for the BOSUSTEP substudy within the first three months of BOS: - Any grade of diarrhea and GI toxicity - Other AE > grade 1 related to BOS - The final dose level of BOS by 3 months - The proportion of patients with transient treatment discontinuation - The proportion of patients with permanent treatment discontinuation - Cytogenetic and Molecular responses assessed by BCR-ABL IS at M3 and M6 - The relationship between plasma residual concentration (Cmin) after dose escalation steps and tolerance / efficacy of BOS in a subset of patients (French cohort), and at M3 for Nordic patients who take part in ancillary projects. • The progression free survival, the event-free survival and the overall survival.
