Study of Efficacy and Safety of Flumatinib Combined With Chemotherapy in Ph Positive ALL

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2022-05-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Philadelphia chromosome (BCR-ABL1, Ph) is the most common genetic abnormality in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and an independent prognostic risk factor. With the increase of age, the incidence of patients over 60 years old can reach 50%, whose 5-year overall survival rate was less than 20%.

With the application of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), the prognosis of Ph positive ALL patients is greatly improved. At present, TKI combined with chemotherapy has become the first-line treatment recommended in the guideline of Ph positive ALL patients.

However, with the use of imatinib, more and more patients develop drug resistant to imatinib. In addition, the clinical data showed that the MRD negative rate in patients treated with imatinib combined with hyper CVAD was only 22% three months later, which was far lower than 31% of the second generation TKI and 52% of the third generation TKI.

Second generation TKI dasatinib and nilotinib can overcome most imatinib resistant kinase region mutations. However, patients with severe hemocytopenia, infection or other complications are often unable to tolerate the standard chemotherapy. In addition, due to the high cost, some patients can't afford the long-term use.

Flumatinib is the first approved second generation TKI in China and a derivative of imatinib. Compared with imatinib, it introduced trifluoromethyl, substituted pyridine ring for benzene ring, and kept the direction of amide bond, which made the inhibitory effect of flumatinib on common kinase mutations significantly better than that of imatinib. In addition, compared with the second-generation TKI recommended in the first line of current guidelines, the incidence of quality of life related adverse reactions of flumatinib is lower, and no specific adverse reactions of the second-generation TKI have been reported.

We plan to enroll 28 patients with Ph positive ALL. All patients are diagnosed by morphology, immunology, cytogenetics and molecular biology (MICM). According to subjects' age, we will divide them into two groups. Subjects aged 60 years or older are received flumatinib and dose-adjusted VDCP or prednisone regimen. Subjects younger than 60 years are received flumatinib and hyper-CVAD regimen. MRD are examined on the 8th, 15th and 29th day after chemotherapy. Then, MRD will be monitored in the third, 6th, 9th, 12th, 15th, 18th, 21th and 24th months after chemotherapy to evaluate the effect.
