An Open-Label Randomized Phase III Study of Dasatinib vs. High-Dose (600 mg) Imatinib Mesylate in the Treatment of Subjects With Chronic Phase Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Who Are Imatinib Failures or Who Have Had a Suboptimal Response After 3-18 Months of Therapy With 400 mg Imatinib

Brief summary

The purpose of this clinical research study is to compare the rate of complete cytogenetic response of dasatinib to imatinib therapy at 6 months after randomization in chronic phase CML patients. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.

Recruitment details

A total of 156 subjects were to be enrolled; however, the attempts were unsuccessful and the study was closed after 3 subjects were enrolled. A fourth subject underwent screening, but was not randomized since the subject did not meet the inclusion criteria.

Outcome results

Primary

Complete Cytogenetic Response (CCyR) Rate at Month 6

Cytogenetic Response (CyR) is based on the prevalence of Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) metaphases among cells in metaphase on a bone marrow sample. The criteria for CCyR is 0% Ph+ metaphases among cells in a bone marrow sample.

Time frame: Month 6

Population: This analysis was not done. This study was terminated due to insufficient enrollment.

Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Deaths, and Discontinuations Due to AEs

An AE is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered an investigational (medicinal) product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is an important medical event.

Time frame: From 2 weeks prior to randomization through Month 36. At least every 4 weeks until all study-related toxicities resolve to baseline, stabilize, or are deemed irreversible.
