DECLINE (CAMN107ADE18T) = Imatinib versus nilotinib in CML in chronic phase [Germany]

Study title

DECLINE = Imatinib versus nilotinib in CML in chronic phase

Scientific title

Imatinib continuation versus Nilotinib 300 mg twice daily in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase and major molecular re-sponse (MMR) without molecular response ≥ 4.5 log (MR4.5) receiving Imatinib at a dose of 400 to 800 mg daily. An open-label, randomised multicenter phase 3b study to determine the confirmed rate of molecular response ≥ 4 log (MR4) at two years (EudraCT 2013-000077-68, ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02174445, DRKS00006285)

Type of study

Therapy optimization trial

Current status

No longer recruiting

What is the purpose of the study

This study was designed for patients with CML who have achieved major molecular response on treatment with imatinib but do not qualify for investigational treatment discontinuation since they do not reach ongoing CMR.
Goal of the study is to investigate whether in patients with CML in 1st chronic phase and confirmed MMR receiving imatinib (400 mg daily) a switch to nilotinib (300 mg twice daily) results in a higher proportion of patients with confirmed conversion from MMR to MR4 after two years of study treatment when compared with patients who continue receiving Imatinib (400 mg daily). The study duration for each individual may vary between 27 and 72 months.

Key inclusion criteria

Male or female patients (≥18 years) with CML in first chronic phase (defined as blasts <15% in blood or bone marrow and peripheral blood basophils <20% and platelets ≥ 100 G/L) receiving Imatinib at the standard dose of 400 to 800 mg daily for at least 18 months before informed consent.

Major molecular response (MMR) without molecular response ≥ 4.5 log (MR4.5), i.e. BCR-ABL>0.0032% and ≤0.1% IS confirmed by central laboratory at screening will be required for randomization.
