Trial Outcomes & Findings for CMR Rate of Newly Diagnosed CML-CP Patients Treated With Nilotinib (NCT NCT01227577)

NCT ID: NCT01227577

Last Updated: 2016-02-08

Results Overview

CMR was defined as at least 4.5 log reduction of breakpoint cluster region gene/Abelson proto-oncogene (Bcr-Abl) transcipts from the standardized baseline on the international scale (equivalent to Bcr-Abl \<=0.0032% IS) with a minimum of 25,614 ABL control copies. CMR was to be confirmed by a second polymerase chain reaction (PCR) sample drawn 3 months later where the results should be less than or equal to 0.0032% with a minimum of 25,614 Abelson proto-oncogene (ABL) control copies.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 years

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS): The FAS included all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug.

CMR was defined as at least 4.5 log reduction of breakpoint cluster region gene/Abelson proto-oncogene (Bcr-Abl) transcipts from the standardized baseline on the international scale (equivalent to Bcr-Abl \<=0.0032% IS) with a minimum of 25,614 ABL control copies.

Timeframe: 4 years

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS): The FAS included all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug.

CCyR was defined as 0% Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) metaphases in the bone marrow. MMR was defined as a 3 log reduction of Bcr-Abl transcripts from the standardized baseline on the international scale (equivalent to Bcr-Abl ≤ 0.1% IS). Bcr-Abl transcripts assessed by peripheral blood quatitative real time polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) were used for the determination of all molecular responses.
