Nilotinib vs Imatinib in Adult Patients With Philadelphia (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in Chronic Phase (CML-CP) — ENEST  

Myelogenous Leukemia Clinical Trial

Official title: A Phase III Randomized, Open- Label Multi-center Study of Nilotinib Versus Imatinib in Adult Patients With Ph+ Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in Chronic Phase (CML-CP) Who Have a Suboptimal Cytogenetic Response (CyR) on Imatinib

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

In this study, the efficacy and safety of nilotinib 400 mg twice daily, will be compared with imatinib 400 mg twice daily in patients with a suboptimal response to imatinib for their Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in the chronic phase (CML-CP).

Clinical Trial Description

This trial was to evaluate the CCyR rate at 12 months of nilotinib therapy when compared to imatinib treatment in patients with suboptimal response to imatinib. The patients were stratified by prior duration of initial imatinib treatment, and were randomized to receive either 400 mg/twice daily of continuous nilotinib or imatinib treatment. The first stratum patients were treated with imatinib = 6 to < 12 months and having at least a minimal cytogenetic, but no partial cytogenetic response; and the second stratum patients were treated with imatinib = 12 months to < 18 months and having partial cytogenetic response (PCyR), but no CCyR. ;
