E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Evaluation of molecular relapse-free survival after stopping TKI (survival without molecular relapse defined by BCR-ABL1 > 0.1% on the IS at one time point (loss of major molecular response, MMR)) |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• Overall and progression-free survival and the probabilities of a restart of TKI without prior molecular relapse • Clinical and biological profile of complete and major molecular remission persistence • Saved treatment costs / country from the time off TKI therapy considering also the more frequent PCR monitoring • Patient reported QoL and symptom burden over time • Registering patients in confirmed CMR4 and CMR4.5 • Analysing the time to recovery of CMR4 after loss of MMR
|
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
1: immunological monitoring • The study will assess here, whether stopping imatinib boosts PR3-specific CTL frequencies as a principal mechanism contributing to the maintenance of remissions 2: more sensitive methods for MRD monitoring • Detection and quantitation of very low levels of minimal residual disease (MRD) till 10-6 could probably help to follow the course of the disease more precisely and thereby to more accurately tailor personalized therapeutic choices 3: Assessment of the expression level of ICSBP (IRF-8) and IRF-4: role in predicting durability of CMR after TKI discontinuation • It is postulated that the expression level of IRF-4 and ICSBP genes predict, which patients can successfully maintain their remission after terminating of imatinib or a second generation TKI. |
|
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• CML in CP under treatment with TKI in first line or in second line because of toxicity to first line TKI or with TKI in combination • Duration of TKI treatment before enrolment at least 3 years • At least complete molecular remission CMR4 (either (i) detectable disease ≤0.01% BCR-ABL IS or (ii) undetectable disease in cDNA with ≥10,000 ABL or ≥24,000 GUS transcripts) for at least one year; at least three PCR-results with CMR4 within the last year (± 2 months) before study entry and no PCR-results > 0.01% during the same period • Before inclusion confirmation of CMR4 through a EUTOS-CMR laboratory • Baseline data and documentation on treatment before study entry available • Both sexes but fertile women only if using effective contraceptive • Health insurance coverage • 18 years or older • Known baseline data at diagnosis, EURO-Score

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Assessment of the duration of MMR or better after stopping of TKI therapy |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
An interim analysis will be performed as soon as 200 patients have been observed for at least six months without a restart of TKI treatment prior to molecular relapse. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
1- Identification of clinical and biological factors affecting the persistence of complete molecular remission and MMR after stopping TKI (e.g. level of CMR before treatment stop, risk score, duration of TKI treatment, type of TKI pretreatment) 2- Estimation of overall and progression free survival, and probabilities of a restart of TKI treatment without prior molecular relapse 3- Patient reported QoL and symptom burden over time 4- Evaluation of medico-economic impact of stopping TKI 5- Estimating the number of patients in CMR (CMR4 and CMR4.5) who would be eligible for stopping TKI therapy 6- Time to recovery of CMR4 after restart of therapy following molecular relapse
|
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
An interim analysis will be performed as soon as 200 patients have been observed for at least six months without a restart of TKI treatment prior to molecular relapse. With two year recruitment and three years follow-up, for all projected patients, the six-month and the three-year molecular relapse-free survival statuses will be available. Thus, above hypothesis can be examined at the final analysis, too. |
