- Registration Number
- NCT02627677
- Lead Sponsor
- Ariad Pharmaceuticals
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of 2 starting doses of ponatinib compared to nilotinib in participants with imatinib-resistant chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase (CP).

Group Intervention Description Cohort A: Ponatinib 30 mg Ponatinib 30 mg QD Ponatinib 30 mg, tablets, orally, once daily (QD) until achievement of major molecular response (MMR) up to 12 months. Once MMR was achieved, participants received reduced dose of ponatinib 15 mg orally once daily up to 42 months. Cohort B: Ponatinib 15 mg Ponatinib 15 mg QD Ponatinib 15 mg, tablets, orally, QD until achievement of MMR up to 12 months. Once MMR was achieved, participants received reduced dose of ponatinib 15 mg orally once daily up to 45 months. Cohort C: Nilotinib 400 mg Nilotinib 400 mg BID Nilotinib 400 mg, tablets, orally, twice daily up to approximately 42 months.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Participants With Major Molecular Response (MMR) Up to 12 months MMR is defined as the percentage of participants achieving a ratio of ≤0.1% Breakpoint Cluster Region-Abelson (BCR ABL) to ABL transcripts on the international scale (≤0.1% BCR-ABL/ABL\[IS\]) at any time within 12 months after randomization.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Participants With Treatment Emergent Arterial Occlusive Events (TE-AOEs), Treatment Emergent Venous Thromboembolic Events (TE-VTE), Adverse Events (AEs), and Serious AEs (SAEs) From first dose up to 30 days post last dose (Up to approximately 46 months) TE-AOE: arterial occlusive event with an initial onset date on or after first dose date and no later than 30 days after last dose date of study treatment or events starting after initial consent that worsen in severity on or after first dose date. TE-VTE: vascular occlusive event with an initial onset date on or after first dose date and no later than 30 days after last dose date of study treatment or events starting after initial consent that worsen in severity on or after first dose date. AE: any untoward medical occurrence in participant administered pharmaceutical product; untoward medical occurrence does not necessarily have causal relationship with this treatment. SAE: any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of an existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, is congenital anomaly/birth defect/is medically important event.
Percentage of Participants With Complete Cytogenetic Response (CCyR) Up to 12 months CCyR rate was defined as the percentage of participants achieving CCyR up to 12 months after randomization. CCyR is defined as 0% Philadelphia chromosome-positive \[Ph+\] metaphases by cytogenetic analysis of bone marrow.
Percentage of Participants With Molecular Response (MR) From Month 3 to every 3 months up to 48 months Molecular response rate is defined as percentage of participants achieving MR2: Molecular response with 2-log reduction (defined as ≤1% BCR-ABL\[IS\]), MMR: Major molecular responder, MR4 (defined as ≤0.01% BCR-ABL\[IS\]), and MR4.5 (defined as ≤0.0032% BCR-ABL\[IS\]) after randomization.
