A Study to Determine the Efficacy and Safety of STI571 in Patients With Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in Accelerated Phase


OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the safety of STI571 in patients with accelerated phase
Philadelphia chromosome positive (or chromosome negative and Bcr/Abl positive) chronic
myelogenous leukemia. II. Determine the rate of hematological response to this treatment in
these patients. III. Determine the improvements in symptomatic parameters with this
treatment in these patients. IV. Determine the cytogenetic response to this treatment in
these patients. V. Determine the time to treatment failure in these patients after receiving
this treatment.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral STI571 daily. Treatment continues for at least 1 year in the
absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who are considered to have
benefited may continue treatment beyond 1 year.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Not determined

Inclusion Criteria

accelerated phase At least 15% but less than 30% blasts in blood or bone marrow At least
30% blasts plus promyelocytes in the peripheral blood or bone marrow At least 20%
peripheral basophils Thrombocyte count less than 100,000/mm3 (unrelated to therapy)
Patients must have never been in blastic phase Ph chromosome positive OR Ph chromosome
negative and Bcr/Abl positive
