Brief summary

Imatinib mesylate is standard treatment of Chronic myeloid leukaemia, complete cytogenetic response is obtained in most of cases but molecular response concerned only a small part of the patients. To increase molecular response ratio we decided to increase imatinib dose to limited resistance to this drug and to add zoledronate for it anti tumoral activity to increase anti leukemic effect. We plan to accrue 37 patients in 5 centers. We will analyse molecular expression of BCR-ABL transcript after 6 months of treatment, safety, duration of response, VEGF expression and LTgd production.

Recruitment details

The AFR-22 trial was based on a two-stage Simon's design, which included 17 patients in the first stage, followed by an additional 20 patients. Analysis of the first 17 evaluable patients showed insufficient efficacy of the study treatment. In accordance with the principle of Simon's two-stage design, enrollment was stopped.
