BMS-354825 in Treating Patients With Chronic Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia That Is Resistant to Imatinib Mesylate Clinical Trials Information presented on Clinical Trials Search is not designed to be a substitute for certified medical advice, trips or professional assistance with a real medical doctor. We aren't docs. Always confer with your doctor about BMS-354825 in Treating Patients With Chronic Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia That Is Resistant to Imatinib Mesylate conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website committed to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. BMS-354825 in Treating Patients With Chronic Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia That Is Resistant to Imatinib Mesylate Clinical research trials and BMS-354825 in Treating Patients With Chronic Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia That Is Resistant to Imatinib Mesylate health trials happen in many of cities across the US. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally measure the effectualness of new does drugs. The intention of the studies / projects is to figure out particular human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to detect cures for all forms of circumstances, like BMS-354825 in Treating Patients With Chronic Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia That Is Resistant to Imatinib Mesylate. BMS-354825 in Treating Patients With Chronic Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia That Is Resistant to Imatinib Mesylate Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to undergo medical treatment options before they are available to the general public. Most times the subjects get treatment for free of charge, and occasionally they are paid for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a BMS-354825 in Treating Patients With Chronic Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia That Is Resistant to Imatinib Mesylate clinical trial. Subjects frequently get the best healthcare possible for their BMS-354825 in Treating Patients With Chronic Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia That Is Resistant to Imatinib Mesylate condition. Hazards are a reality, however, and could include more or frequent mD visits, health risks (possibly life-jeopardizing), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally regulated with exacting guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

BMS-354825 in Treating Patients With Chronic Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia That Is Resistant to Imatinib Mesylate



BMS-354825 in Treating Patients With Chronic Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia That Is Resistant to Imatinib Mesylate

For Condition: Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myelogenous leukemia,chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia,relapsing chronic myelogenous leukemia
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: BMS-354825 may stop the growth of cancer cells by stopping the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of BMS-354825 in treating patients who have chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia that is resistant to imatinib mesylate.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Determine the maximum tolerated dose, maximum administered dose, dose-limiting toxicity, and a recommended phase II dose of BMS-354825 in patients with chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia who have hematologic resistance to imatinib mesylate. - Determine the safety and tolerability of this drug in these patients. - Determine the plasma pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients. - Determine, preliminarily, the efficacy of this drug, in terms of hematologic, cytogenetic, and molecular responses in these patients. OUTLINE: This is an open-label, dose-escalation, multicenter study. Patients receive oral BMS-354825 once daily on days 1-5. Courses repeat every 7 days for at least 3 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may receive further treatment in the absence of disease progression. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of BMS-354825 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is determined, 20 additional patients receive treatment as in phase I at the MTD of BMS-354825. Patients are followed for at least 30 days. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 50 patients (30 for phase I and 20 for phase II) will be accrued for this study within 12-18 months.
