- MMR Rate at 12 Mos. of Nilotinib Treatment on Study in Patients With Philadelphia Chromosome Positive (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in Chronic Phase (CML-CP) Who Have a Suboptimal Molecular Response to Imatinib at 18 Months or Later. [ Time Frame: 12 months after treatment ]MMR is defined as BCR-ABL ratio (%) on IS ≤ 0.1% (corresponds to ≥ 3 log reduction of BCR-ABL transcripts from standardized baseline value
- MMR Rate at 24 Months of Nilotinib Treatment on Study in Patients With Philadelphia Chromosome Positive (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in Chronic Phase (CML-CP) [ Time Frame: 24 months after treatment ]MMR is defined as BCR-ABL ratio (%) on IS ≤ 0.1% (corresponds to ≥ 3 log reduction of BCR-ABL transcripts from standardized baseline value
- Time to First MMR of Nilotinib in Patients With Philadelphia Chromosome Positive (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in Chronic Phase (CML-CP) . [ Time Frame: month 24 ]MMR is defined as BCR-ABL ratio (%) on IS ≤ 0.1% (corresponds to ≥ 3 log reduction of BCR-ABL transcripts from standardized baseline value
- Duration of MMR of Nilotinib in Patients With Philadelphia Chromosome Positive (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in Chronic Phase (CML-CP) . [ Time Frame: month 24 ]MMR is defined as BCR-ABL ratio (%) on IS ≤ 0.1% (corresponds to ≥ 3 log reduction of BCR-ABL transcripts from standardized baseline value

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or female patients ≥ 18 years of age.
- ECOG 0, 1, or 2.
- Have been diagnosed with Ph+ CML-CP and receiving imatinib therapy.
-
Patients with suboptimal molecular response to imatinib treatment continued for at least 18 months (first line therapy)
Suboptimal molecular response defined as all of the following conditions:
- Patients who have achieved CCyR (0% Ph+ chromosomes).
- Patients who don't achieve MMR (MMR defined as BCR-ABL/ABL ratio of ≤ 0.1% on the International Scale as detected by RQ-PCR).
The treatment with imatinib defined as:
Dose of 300 mg or higher daily must be maintained for a minimum of 3 months prior to study entry.
-
Patients who meet the following laboratory tests criteria:
- total bilirubin < 1.5 x ULN,
- SGOT and SGPT < 2.5 x ULN,
- creatinine < 1.5 x ULN,
- Serum amylase and lipase ≤ 1.5 x ULN,
- Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 x ULN unless considered tumor related.
- Serum potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and calcium ≥ LLN or correctable with supplements prior to the first dose of study drug.
- Written informed consent prior to any study related screening procedures being performed.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior accelerated phase or blast crisis CML.
- Previously documented T315I mutations.
- Presence of chromosomal abnormalities other than Ph+.
- Previous treatment with any other tyrosine kinase inhibitor except imatinib.
-
Impaired cardiac function including any one of the following:
- Complete left bundle branch block
- Congenital long QT syndrome or family history of long QT syndrome
- History of or presence of significant ventricular or atrial tachyarrhythmias
- Clinically significant resting brachycardia (<50 bpm)
- QTcF > 450 msec on screening ECG
- Use of a ventricular-paced pacemaker
- Myocardial infarction during the last 12 months
- Other clinically significant heart disease (e.g. congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina).
- Treatment with strong CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., dexamethasone, phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampin, rifabutin, rifapentine, phenobarbital, St John's Wort), and the treatment cannot be discontinued or switched to a different medication prior to starting study drug. See Section 6.4.3 for complete list of these medications.
