Study of Cemivil® (Imatinib) in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Patients in Jordan

Completed
Conditions
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, Chronic Phase
Registration Number
NCT02977312
Lead Sponsor
Hikma Pharmaceuticals LLC
Brief Summary

This study assessed the efficacy and safety of generic imatinib in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in Jordan. It was a multicenter, non-interventional, open-label, prospective study combined with retrospective data collection from files of patients with a diagnosis of Ph+ CML, treated with Cemivil (imatinib), where no visits or intervention(s) additional to the daily practice were performed

Detailed Description

Primary objectives

Measure the proportion of Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) CML patients in CP treated with Cemivil who achieve optimal response :

* Complete hematologic response (CHR) at 3 months;

* Minor cytogenetic response (mCyR) at 3 months (Ph+ ≤65%); partial cytogenetic response (PCyR) at 6 months (Ph+ ≤35%), and complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) at 12 months (No Ph+ metaphases);

* Major molecular response (MMR) at 12 months of Cemivil therapy \[a ratio of BCR-ABL1 to ABL1 ≤0.1% on the International Scale\];

Assess the safety and tolerability of Cemivil after one year of treatment, based on:

* Incidence, severity, and relationship of adverse events (AEs) to the study medication;

* Serious AEs;

* AEs leading to permanent treatment discontinuation;

* Clinically relevant changes in laboratory tests (according to laboratory reference ranges).

Number of Subjects evaluated: 91 (N=33 received generic imatinib as first-line therapy "first-line patients". N=58 switched from patented imatinib to generic imatinib "switched patients")
