Preliminary Evaluation of TKI Exposure-response Relationships in Real World Patients (RWPs) With Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML)

Insurance Daily News

2019 APR 08 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Insurance Daily News -- Staff editors report on the newly launched clinical trial, NCT03885830, which has the following summary description: “The purpose of this prospective, single-institution observational study is to evaluate associations between the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters for tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) used to treat chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and clinical outcomes for up to 12 months. The study aims to identify associations between TKI clearance and/or exposure with demographic and clinical patient characteristics, CML milestones, medication toxicities, medication adherence, and germline genetic variants. Because this is an observational study, standard-of-care therapy will not be altered during the course of participation. Blood samples will be collected at each study visit (up to 6 visits) over the course of 12 months to evaluate TKI concentrations, and PK parameters. Blood will also be collected during the first visit to isolate DNA for next generation sequencing (NGS). Demographic information will be collected at baseline, while clinical and medication adherence information will be collected at baseline and then throughout the study. There will be no direct benefit to you for your participation. Risks are minor, but could include bruising, vein irritation, lightheadedness/dizziness, and/or infection from blood draws, as well as potential loss of confidentiality.”

As a matter of record, on March 23, 2019, NewsRx staff editors report that the available information provided by UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center on this trial include:

Primary Completion Date December 31, 2020
Start Date May 2019
Current Primary Outcome Measures •Correlation between TKI Exposure/Clearance and BCR-ABL transcript [ Time Frame: 12 months ] -- TKI exposure/clearance will be evaluated by measuring levels of TKI in the blood at 12 months. BCR-ABL transcripts at 12 months will be compared against the TKI levels.
Current Secondary Outcome Measures •Complete Hematologic Response (CHR) [ Time Frame: 1 month ] -- CHR at 1 month, defined as complete normalization of peripheral blood counts with leukocyte count < 10 x 1E9/L, platelet count < 450 x 1E9/L, no immature cells (such as myelocytes, promyelocytes, no blasts in peripheral blood, and no signs and symptoms of disease with disappearance of palpable splenomegaly.
•Correlation between Early Molecular Response (EMR) and TKI Exposure/Clearance [ Time Frame: 3 months, 6 months ] -- Incidence of EMR at 3 and 6 months, defined as BCR-ABL transcript ≤ 10%, will be evaluated, and will be compared against TKI levels at 3 and 6 months.
•Correlation between Major Molecular response (MMR) and TKI Exposure/Clearance [ Time Frame: 9 months, 12 months ] -- Incidence of MMR at 9 and 12 months, defined as BCR-ABL transcript ≤ 0.1%, will be evaluated, and will be compared against TKI levels at 9 and 12 months.
•Correlation between Log10 change in BCR-ABL and TKI Exposure/Clearance [ Time Frame: Baseline and 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months ] -- BCR-ABL transcripts will be obtained at each time point. The Log10 change in BCR-ABL transcripts will be evaluated, and will be compared against TKI levels at each time point.
•Medication Adherence [ Time Frame: Baseline and 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months ] -- Subject adherence will be evaluated at each time point during standard-of-care study visits. The Wilson’s 3-item Adherence Score (WAS) tool will be administered to each subject at each visit in survey form. The WAS tool provides a score from 0-100 (0, worst; 100, best) to evaluate adherence to medications in the last 30 days.
•Correlation between Medication-induced Toxicities and TKi Exposure/Clearance [ Time Frame: Baseline and 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months ] -- Associate TKI exposure/clearance with subject-reported toxicity assessments. Medication-induced toxicity assessments will be conducted at each study visit using the validated MD Anderson Symptom Inventory for CML (MDASI-CML) tool. The MDASI-CML tool asks subjects to rate symptom severity in the last 24 hours on a 0-10 scale (0, not present; 10, as bad as one can imagine). The MDASI-CML also evaluates symptom interference with daily activities in the same manner.

Descriptive Information

Brief Title Precision Dosing of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in CML Patients
Official Title Preliminary Evaluation of TKI Exposure-response Relationships in Real World Patients (RWPs) With Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML)
Brief Summary The purpose of this prospective, single-institution observational study is to evaluate associations between the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters for tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) used to treat chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and clinical outcomes for up to 12 months. The study aims to identify associations between TKI clearance and/or exposure with demographic and clinical patient characteristics, CML milestones, medication toxicities, medication adherence, and germline genetic variants. Because this is an observational study, standard-of-care therapy will not be altered during the course of participation. Blood samples will be collected at each study visit (up to 6 visits) over the course of 12 months to evaluate TKI concentrations, and PK parameters. Blood will also be collected during the first visit to isolate DNA for next generation sequencing (NGS). Demographic information will be collected at baseline, while clinical and medication adherence information will be collected at baseline and then throughout the study. There will be no direct benefit to you for your participation. Risks are minor, but could include bruising, vein irritation, lightheadedness/dizziness, and/or infection from blood draws, as well as potential loss of confidentiality.
Detailed Description This study is a prospective, single-institution observational study designed to evaluate associations between the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters (e.g., clearance and exposure) for four tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) used to treat chronic phase CML with key clinical milestones in CML, as well as associations between TKI PK and medication-induced toxicities and medication adherence. The four TKIs to be evaluated in this study include bosutinib, dasatinib, imatinib, or nilotinib, while the key clinical milestones for CML include complete hematologic response (CHR) at one month, early molecular response (EMR) at 3 months and 6 months, and major molecular response (MMR) at 9 months and 12 months. A total of 100 subjects (approximately 25 subjects per TKI) will be enrolled in the study. The enrolled study subjects will have been prescribed one of these four TKIs by a UNC medical oncologist or advanced practice provider for their diagnosed chronic phase CML. Research personnel will identify potential research subjects using data from the Carolina Data Warehouse, and pharmacy prescription claims data. Research personnel will contact patients regarding study participation in-person in clinic or over the telephone to receive informed consent. For enrolled subjects who are newly initiated on one of the four study TKIs, assessment procedures will occur during visits at baseline as well as at standard-of-care follow-up appointments at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after TKI initiation. Active participation in the study is expected to last approximately one year. Subjects may also be identified and enrolled after having already been initiated on TKI therapy, in which case, the duration since initiation of their TKI will be determined, and they will enter the study timeline at that respective time point. All study visits will align with standard-of-care follow-up appointments, and therefore no additional visits to the UNCMC are required of enrolled subjects. Twenty-four hours prior to each visit, one member of the study personnel will telephone the subject to remind them to take their medication that day, but not the day of their study visit prior to blood sample collections. Subjects will also be asked to record their daily medication adherence over time in a log to be evaluated at each subsequent study visit by a member of the study personnel. At each clinic visit, the subject will have two blood samples drawn, and will be required to complete study-related surveys. The first research blood sample will be collected at the beginning of the clinic visit and will coincide with standard-of-care blood draws used for laboratory assessments. and processed according to the procedures listed in Appendix C of the master protocol. Surveys (e.g., regarding medication-induced toxicities and medication adherence) will be administered during the clinic visit. After visit completion with their medical oncologist or advanced practice provider, but before leaving UNCMC, a second research blood sample will be drawn. Together, these two blood draws will help study investigators calculate the clearance and overall exposure of the TKIs at each visit. Clearance and exposure information will be used for association analyses with key CML clinical milestones (CHR, EMR, and MMR), as well as medication-induced toxicities.
Study Type Observational
Study Phase Not Provided
Study Design Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
Description: For all study subjects, two blood samples will be taken at each study visit. These samples will be used to quantify TKI concentrations in the plasma. Later, the TKI concentration/time information will be used in PK analyses that will estimate clearance and exposure. Additionally, during the subject’s first study, an additional blood sample will be obtained to isolate DNA for NGS. Throughout the study, all blood samples will be collected by a phlebotomist or nurse.
