Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best way to give nilotinib when given alone or sequentially after imatinib mesylate after donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or chronic myelogenous leukemia. Nilotinib and imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

- label
- Treatment (prophylactic inhibition of BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase)
- description
- Beginning after engraftment and blood count recovery (21 to 28 days after allogeneic stem cell transplant), patients with imatinib-sensitive leukemia receive imatinib mesylate PO QD until day 80 and then nilotinib PO BID on days 81-445. Patients with imatinib-resistant leukemia receive nilotinib PO BID beginning after engraftment and blood count recovery until day 445. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Number of Participants With Treatment Safety Failure
- timeFrame
- Up to 365 days post-transplant
- description
- Safety and tolerability of nilotinib therapy in patients with imatinib-sensitive leukemia graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0. Treatment safety failure is defined for a patient with imatinib sensitive Ph+ leukemia as the inability to be able to deliver at least 400 milligrams per day of nilotinib in adults, and 230 milligrams/m2 per day in children, for at least 85% of the time interval between 81 and 365 days after transplant. The overall study will be considered successful if nilotinib is deliverable to more than 75% of the study participants at this minimum specified dose intensity.
