Brief Summary:
To study the efficacy and safety of combination of Ro-Peg-interferon-α2b (RoPegIFN) with Bosutinib (BOS) in comparison to BOS monotherapy, as frontline therapy for newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia patients, and to estimate efficacy of the addition of RoPegIFN to BOS in terms of deep molecular response with the aim of increasing the proportion of patients who may achieve treatment free remission. (NCMLSG study #NordCML012)

Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Estimated Enrollment : 212 participants
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: A Study of Efficacy and Safety of Long-acting Low Dose Ropeginterferon in Patients With Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Treated With Bosutinib From Diagnosis: a Randomized Prospective Trial
Actual Study Start Date : March 25, 2019
Estimated Primary Completion Date : March 15, 2023
Estimated Study Completion Date : March 2028


Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Bosutinib-Ropeginterferon combination Drug: Bosutinib
Bosutinib, provided by Pfizer, starting dose of 200mg QD and stepwise dose escalation (> 300 mg/d > 400 mg/d) during the first three months. A pharmacological study will be performed in the French cohort (BOSUSTEP Substudy). BOS residual plasma concentration (Cmin) will be checked after initiation, before each dose step in the French cohort, and at M3 also for Nordic patients in ancillary studies.

Drug: Ropeginterferon
Ro-Peg-Interferon α2b will be supplied by AOP Orphan to be administered by subcutaneous injections from prefilled injection pens. RoPegIFN will be given in an open-label fashion. Patients assigned to RoPegIFN will start with 50 μg injected subcutaneously every 14 days, in combination with Bosutinib.
Other Name: RoPegIFN

Active Comparator: Bosutinib monotherapy Drug: Bosutinib
Bosutinib, provided by Pfizer, starting dose of 200mg QD and stepwise dose escalation (> 300 mg/d > 400 mg/d) during the first three months. A pharmacological study will be performed in the French cohort (BOSUSTEP Substudy). BOS residual plasma concentration (Cmin) will be checked after initiation, before each dose step in the French cohort, and at M3 also for Nordic patients in ancillary studies.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Rate of molecular response 4 (MR4) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    Molecular response 4 (MR4) is defined by either a positive BCR-ABL/ABL ratio ≤ 0.01% on the international scale (IS) or by undetectable BCR-ABL with the analysis of at least 10000 copies of ABL or 24000 copies of GUS (according to the ELN recommendations by N. Cross et al., Leukemia 2015)


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Rate of molecular response MR2, MR3, MR4, MR4.5 from 1 month up to 24 months and every 6 months thereafter [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
  2. Cumulative incidence of molecular response MR3, MR4, MR4.5 [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
  3. Rate of complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) up to 12 months [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
  4. Rate of undetectable molecular response for patients who achieved molecular response MR4 and MR4.5 [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
  5. Time to and duration of CCyR, MR3, MR4, MR4.5 [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
  6. proportion of patients eligible for randomization after 3 months of Bosutinib [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
  7. rate and characteristics of severe adverse events (SAE) [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    type and grade according to the NCI CTCAE v4.03

  8. Dose intensity of RoPegIFN and Bosutinib [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
  9. Cumulative incidence of discontinuation of the therapies, incl. reasons for discontinuation [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
  10. Quality of life assessment by QLQC30 questionnaire up to 6 years at key time point (Day 1, month 3, month 6, month 12, month 24, month 48, month 54, month 72) [ Time Frame: 6 years ]
  11. Quality of life assessment by CML24 questionnaire up to 6 years at key time point (Day 1, month 3, month 6, month 12, month 24, month 48, month 54, month 72) [ Time Frame: 6 years ]
  12. The proportion of patients achieving a durable deep molecular response and being eligible for treatment discontinuation at month 48 [ Time Frame: 4 years ]
    Sustained deep molecular response (MR) criteria will be defined according updated data and ELN guidelines before the first patient will achieve month 48 (at least a MR4 over a 12 months period and confirmed on the last centralized measurement at month 48
