ENESTop

A Phase II, Single Arm, Open Label Study of Treatment-free Remission in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) Chronic Phase (CP) Patients After Achieving Sustained MR4.5 on Nilotinib

Phase 2NCT01698905

Population
Adults with chronic-phase CML, at least 3 years of TKI therapy, sustained deep molecular response achieved after switching from imatinib to nilotinib
Design
Single-arm phase 2 trial. Patients in chronic-phase CML who had received at least 3 years of TKI therapy and reached sustained deep molecular response only after switching from imatinib to nilotinib completed a 1-year nilotinib consolidation phase; 126 then attempted TFR. Nilotinib was restarted on loss of major molecular response (MMR) or confirmed loss of MR4.
Arms
  • Entered TFR phase after nilotinib consolidation (experimental, n = 126): Second-line nilotinib, 1-year consolidation, then discontinuation; restart on loss of MMR or confirmed loss of MR4

Since the 48-week analysis, 58% (11 of 19) of patients who left the TFR phase had not lost molecular response and stopped for other reasons. 59 patients restarted nilotinib after loss of MMR or confirmed loss of MR4: 98.3% regained MMR, 94.9% MR4 and 93.2% MR4.5. No disease progression or CML-related deaths. Cardiovascular events accumulated with longer nilotinib exposure in patients who restarted.
