简要总结
RATIONALE: Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Biological therapies, such as hydroxychloroquine, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. It is not yet known whether imatinib mesylate is more effective when given with or without hydroxychloroquine in treating patients with chronic myeloid leukemia.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving imatinib mesylate with or without hydroxychloroquine and to see how well it works in treating patients with chronic myeloid leukemia.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To determine if imatinib mesylate versus hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and imatinib mesylate is more effective in terms of BCR/ABL levels in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in major cytogenetic response (MCyR) with residual BCR/ABL-positive cells detectable by quantitative polymerase chain reaction after at least one year of imatinib mesylate treatment.
- To determine the safety and tolerability of this regimen in these patients.
Secondary
- To determine whether the introduction of HCQ influences imatinib mesylate plasma levels.
- To determine if whole blood HCQ levels achieved in combination with imatinib mesylate are in the expected range.
- To determine if HCQ inhibits autophagy in vivo.
- To evaluate the effects of this regimen on residual BCR/ABL-positive primitive progenitors.
