Interventions
Pts. who fit the inclusion criteria, \& were on imatinib, 400 mg/day, will be treated with a month of imatinib at 800 mg/d in divided doses (400mg bid) \& then started on arsenic trioxide. Pts. already on imatinib 800 mg/day may be started on arsenic trioxide. Pts. unable to tolerate 800 mg/d should be treated at the max. dose tolerated above 400 mg/d. A total of 16 weeks of arsenic trioxide treatment will be administered (15 weeks of maintenance). Pts. are to continue on imatinib 800 mg/day,(or the max. tolerated dose) while receiving the arsenic trioxide. If a pt. has been taken off the arsenic trioxide, they should be continued on gleevec 800 mg per day (or the maximum tolerated dose) until there is evidence of progression of disease.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- All patients, 18 years of age or older, with a diagnosis of CML.
- Patients must have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
- Patients must have an ECOG performance status of 0-2.
- Patients must sign an informed consent.
- Patients should have adequate hepatic function with a total bilirubin \< 2 mg/dl and SGOT or SGPT \< two times the upper limit of normal, and adequate renal function as defined by a serum creatinine \< 1.5 x upper limit of normal.
- Patients with CML in chronic phase on gleevec as first line therapy who fulfill the following criteria:
- Failure to achieve a complete hematologic response (CHR) after 3 months of therapy (hematologic resistance)
- Failure to achieve a complete cytogenetic response (CGCR) after \> 9 months of therapy.
- Cytogenetic relapse, defined as an increase in the Ph+ cells by at least 30%.
- Hematologic relapse defined as the appearance of any of the following, confirmed by a second determination \> 1 month later:
- WBC count \>20, 000,
- Platelet count \>600,000,
- Progressive splenomegaly \> 5 cm below the left intercostals margin,
- \>5% myelocytes and/or metamyelocytes in the peripheral blood,
- Blasts or promyelocytes in the peripheral blood
You may not qualify if:
- Pregnant women or nursing mothers are not eligible for this trial. Patients of child bearing potential must use adequate contraception.
- Patients may receive no other concurrent chemotherapy or radiation therapy during this trial.
- Patients with severe medical problems such as uncontrolled diabetes mellitus or cardiovascular disease or active infections are not eligible for this trial.
