Follow-up of the Persistence of the Complete Molecular Remission After Stopping Imatinib Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

Completed
Conditions
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
Registration Number
NCT02896829
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Bordeaux
Brief Summary

It's an observational study based on 98 patients included in the STIM trial to extend the monitoring of patients and to have molecular and clinical data, with long follow up. Are there late relapses? What has become patients who relapsed during STIM trial and restarted TKI (inhibitor tyrosine kinase) treatment?

Detailed Description

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is an hematopoietic stem cell disorder in which a t (9;22) (q34;q11) reciprocal chromosomal translocation gives rise to Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) and generates the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene encoding a constitutively activated protein tyrosine kinases (PTK). Tyrosine kinase Inibitors (TKIs) such as imatinib, by blocking BCR-ABL1 kinase activity, selectively eradicate CML cells and induce durable responses and prolong survival.

CML patients treated with TKI are monitored by BCR-ABL1 RT-qPCR (Reverse Transcription real-time quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction) performed from peripheral blood samples.

A first multicenter study entitled STIM trial demonstrated that imatinib could be safely discontinued in patients with complete molecular remission (CMR) for at least 2 years (undetectable BCR-ABL1 transcript by RT-qPCR).

Around 40% of these patients remain in a prolonged treatment-free remission (TFR) after treatment cessation. All molecular relapsing patients were sensitive when imatinib was re-challenged.

The purpose of this STIM-FU study is to follow all the patients included in the STIM trial in order to evaluate their molecular status, vital status and ongoing treatment in patient with a first molecular relapse.

This long term follow up will allow us to predict if a constant long term control of the disease is possible and to better define the clinical and biological CML-related factors predictive for a molecular relapse after TKI discontinuation.
