Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Treatment with Bosutinib – Phase I/II

AAML1921: A Study of a Drug, Bosutinib, for Treating Newly Diagnosed Chronic Phase or Resistant/Intolerant Ph+ Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

Protocol Description

Through this multi-center investigation by the Children’s Oncology Group, researchers will study how well bosutinib, when given at the most favorable dose, works in children with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Bosutinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that has a different side-effect profile than TKIs typically used in treatment of CML. TKIs help block the action of a type of protein kinase or enzyme called tyrosine kinase, which can help prevent the cancer cells from growing.

Study Level: I/II

Eligibility Criteria

Subject to certain exclusion criteria, this study is enrolling patients ages 1 through 17, who have been diagnosed with CML.
Boys and Girls: Ages 1 through 17 years

Requirements

The first part of the study is focused on determining the most favorable dose that can be given safely, and the second part monitors effects over a longer term. The drug will be taken orally over the course of multiple 28-day cycles with visits for examinations and tests during each of the first 7 cycles, then every third cycle thereafter.
Visits: Number varies based on participant response to therapy.
Duration: Depends on participant response to drug and may last up to 2 years after the last participant joins the first part of the study, with long-term follow-up for 10 years.

Status: Open to Enrollment
