This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Rennes University Hospital, August 2009
First Received: February 3, 2006   Last Updated: August 19, 2009   History of Changes
Sponsor: Rennes University Hospital
Collaborators: Ministry of Health, France
Novartis
Information provided by: Rennes University Hospital
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00287105
  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Imatinib is safe and effective in association with intensive treatment of Ph+ALL in children. Patients will be randomized to receive or not Imatinib in addition to chemotherapy.


Condition Intervention Phase
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Philadelphia Chromosome
Drug: Standard chemotherapy + Imatinib
Drug: Standard chemotherapy
Phase II
Phase III

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment, Randomized, Open Label, Uncontrolled, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title: An Open-label, Randomized Phase II/III Study to Compare the Safety and Efficacy of Imatinib With Chemotherapy in Pediatric Patients With Ph+ / BCR-ABL+ Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Ph+ALL)

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Disease free survival (DFS). DFS will be calculated as the time from randomization to either one of the following events: relapse, death in CCR, second malignancies. [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Feasibility and safety of the addition of IMATINIB to conventional chemotherapy schedule. [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Long-term clinical outcome (EFS, survival), [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Pattern of molecular response (MRD) [ Time Frame: 5 time points between S4 and S22 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Conversion rate to CR in patients resistant to the first part of the induction phase of chemotherapy included in the Poor-risk group. [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 40
Study Start Date: February 2006
Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2010
Estimated Primary Completion Date: December 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Imatinib: Experimental Drug: Standard chemotherapy + Imatinib
Patients receive Imatinib together with the standard chemotherapy regimen of phase IB and after each of three consecutive blocks of the standard chemotherapy in the consolidation phase
No imatinib: No Intervention Drug: Standard chemotherapy
Patients do not receive Imatinib together with the standard chemotherapy regimen of phase IB and after each of three consecutive blocks of the standard chemotherapy in the consolidation phase

Detailed Description:

Recent advances in treatment have increased the cure of childhood ALL to 75% or better. However, attempts to improve results for resistant subtypes of ALL, such as Ph+ ALL, have been largely unsuccessful. Imatinib, an inhibitor of protein-tyrosine kinases, is currently being tested in several phase I, II and III trials covering most Chronic Myeloid Leukemia patient populations and patients with overtly relapsed or refractory Ph+ALL. Pediatric patients with Ph+ALL will be stratified as Good-risk and Poor-risk, according to their initial prednisone and chemotherapy responses and the achievement of the complete remission at day 28. The Good-risk patients will be randomized to receive or not Imatinib whereas all Poor-risk patients will receive Imatinib, added to intensive, post-induction BFM-type chemotherapy. The endpoint will be the evaluation on the long-term clinical outcome, in particular on the Disease Free Survival (DFS).
