Brief Summary

Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is due to a chromosomal abnormality in white blood cells which results in abnormal multiplication. CML in its earlier, slower growing chronic phase (CP) is well controlled by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) drug imatinib, which targets the consequences of the chromosomal abnormality, inducing a response and subsequent remission (as measured using molecular techniques on patient blood or bone marrow samples in the lab). Dasatinib, a newer TKI drug, similar in design to imatinib, gives a more rapid molecular response, however the long term side-effects are less known than imatinib. This study will investigate the efficacy and safety of a treatment plan for patients with newly diagnosed CML-CP, where dasatinib will be used to more rapidly induce a molecular response (MR3.0) within 12 months, after which imatinib will be used to maintain the CML in that remission. It is hypothesised that imatinib is safe and effective in maintaining MR3.0 in patients with CML who achieve MR3.0 at 12 months following initial induction therapy with dasatinib.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

    3 years

  • To estimate the proportion of patients who regain MR3.0 on dasatinib or another TKI therapy after having a confirmed loss of MR3.0 on imatinib, for patients that switch to imatinib at 13 months.

    3 years

  • To estimate time to MR3.0, MR4.5 and MR5.0 for patients that switch to imatinib at 13 months.

    3 years

  • To describe adverse event profiles on Stage 1 and Stage 2 of the study and overall for patients that switch to imatinib at 13 months.

    3 years

  • To describe the quality of life on Stage 1 and Stage 2 of the study and overall for those that switch to imatinib at 13 months.

    3 years

Other Outcomes (4)

  • To estimate PFS, FFS and OS for the following groups: 1) the entire cohort 2) patients not eligible to switch to imatinib at 13 months 3) patients that are eligible but do not switch.

  • To estimate time to MR3.0, MR4.5 and MR5.0 for the following groups: 1) the entire cohort 2) patients not eligible to switch to imatinib at 13 months 3) patients that are eligible but do not switch.

    3 years

  • To describe adverse event profiles on each stage of study therapy for the following groups: 1) the entire cohort 2) patients not eligible to switch to imatinib at 13 months 3) patients that are eligible but do not switch.

Study Arms (1)

Dasatinib

OTHER

All patients will begin the study on dasatinib treatment (Sprycel® 100mg once daily oral administration). Those who reach MR3.0 at 12 months (end of Study Stage 1) and achieve a confirmed result at 13 months, will switch to imatinib treatment (Imatinib-AFT 400mg once daily oral administration) for the next 24 months (Study Stage 2). Patients who do not achieve a confirmed MR3.0 result at 13 months will not be eligible to switch to imatinib treatment and will remain on dasatinib treatment, as per Study Stage 1. Patients will be assessed on a 3-monthly basis throughout the study. Those who discontinue dasatinib treatment during the study for reasons other than the planned treatment switch to imatinib at 13 months, will also be followed up every 3 months.

Drug: DasatinibDrug: Imatinib

Interventions

In order to test the study hypothesis patients need to stay on dasatinib (Sprycel) treatment for the first 12 months of the study (Stage 1). Patients who do not reach MR3.0 at 12 months will remain on dasatinib treatment.

Also known as: Sprycel
Dasatinib

Patients who reach MR3.0 at 12 months (and the result is confirmed at 13 months) will switch to imatinib (Imatinib-AFT) treatment.

Intervention Model
SINGLE GROUP
Model Details: A Phase II, multicentre, open-label, prospective non-randomised study of treatment modification in response to maintenance of MR3.0 at 12 months. Molecular response will be measured 3 monthly. Patients who achieve MR3.0 by 12 months, with a confirmed response at 13 months on treatment, will switch treatment to imatinib. Those patients who do not achieve this confirmed response will remain on dasatinib. For patients who achieve confirmed MR3.0 by 13 months we define two study stages. Stage 1 is the first 12 months after recruitment (i.e. before the possible switch to imatinib) and Stage 2 includes the months 13 - 37.
