E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to assess the rate of major molecular response (MMR), defined as BCR-ABL transcripts <0.1% on International Scale (IS) at 12 months after dasatinib discontinuation in patients who have maintained MMR without re-starting dasatinib treatment |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives of this study include assessment of the following:
- event-free survival (EFS) (defined as no molecular relapse including no loss of MMR) at 12 months after dasatinib discontinuation;
- relapse-free survival (RFS) at 6, 18, 24 months and every 6 months thereafter;
- BCR-ABL kinetics in those patients who experience intermittent loss of CMR (MR4.5) but no loss of MMR (ie, BCR-ABL blips);
- assessment of BCR-ABL kinetics in patients who are in CMR (MR4.5) or less when transcript levels are still measurable;
- rate of transformation to accelerated phase/blast crisis (AP/BC);
- overall survival |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- Signed Written Informed Consent
- Patients diagnosed with CP-CML, on treatment with dasatinib for a minimum of 2 years at the time of enrollment and in dasatinib-induced complete molecular remission (CMR defined as ≤ 0.0032% or 4.5 log reduction of BCR-ABL transcript as determined by local standards) ongoing for at least 1 year prior to study entry
- Patients are eligible for the screening assessment from the central lab if they have been in stable dasatinib induced CMR for a minimum of nine months, documented by at least three assessments, conducted 2.5 - 3.5 months apart, at a local lab. The first screening assessment conducted at the central lab will be repeated after three months, if the first assessment confirms CMR (MR 4.5). Patients are eligible for enrollment if both assessments from the central lab confirm MR4.5
- Patients with CP CML treated with dasatinib as first line treatment or second-line treatment after a TKI-based therapy

- ECOG PS of 0-1
- Life expectancy of > 1 year
- Adequate renal function defined as serum creatinine ≤ 3.0 times the institutional ULN
- Adequate hepatic function defined as: total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 times the institutional ULN;alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 times the institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Serum Na, K, Mg, and total serum Ca or ionized Ca levels must be greater than or equal to the institutional lower limit of normal. Patients with low K, Mg levels, total serum Ca and/or ionized Ca must be replete to allow for protocol entry
- Subject Re-enrollment: This study does not permit the re-enrollment of a subject that has discontinued the study as a pre-treatment failure
- Men and women, ages 18 or older years, inclusive

require contraception |
|

ii) Cervical carcinoma in situ
iii) Adequately treated Stage I or II cancer from which the subject is currently in complete remission
iv) Any other cancer from which the subject has been disease free for 3 years

- Uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease, including any of the following:
i. Congestive cardiac failure (NYHA > 2) within 3 months
ii. Diagnosed or suspected congenital long QT syndrome
iii. Any history of clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias
iv. Prolonged QTc interval on pre-entry electrocardiogram (> 450 msec)

vii. Prior myocardial infarction within 6 months
viii. Uncontrolled hypertension

ii. Diagnosed acquired bleeding disorder within one year (e.g., acquired anti-factor VIII antibodies)
- Physical and Laboratory Test Findings
- Subjects with known hypersensitivity to excipients of dasatinib tablets (Tablet core: lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium; hydroxypropyl cellulose, magnesium stearate; Film-coating: hypromellose titanium dioxide macrogol 400)
