BODO: Phase II Study Testing the Tolerability and the Efficacy of Bosutinib in Chronic Phase CML Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Bosutinib is a 2nd generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has shown promising results from first up to fourth line treatment in patients with in chronic phase of chronic myelogenous leukaemia. Most patients discontinuing the treatment with Bosutinib do so because of side effects occuring early after starting the treatment. A step in dosing scheme could improve these early toxicities. The aim of this study therefore is to demonstrate that temporary lowering of the Bosutinib dose during early treatment may help to reduce or prevent side effects while preserving efficacy.

Detailed Description
Objectives:
The objective of the BODO trial is to assess the tolerability and efficacy of a step-in dosing concept of the dual SRC-ABL kinase inhibitor Bosutinib in CP-CML patients who either developed intolerance or treatment failure to previous Imatinib, Dasatinib or Nilotinib as 1st line therapy.
Primary endpoint:
• Rate of GI-Toxicity (i.e. incidence and severity of grade 2 to 4 toxicities) within the first 6 months of treatment
Secondary endpoints:
-
Tolerability (i.e. all grade, grade 2 to 4 and grade 3 and 4 toxicities) at month 6, 12 and 24
-
Efficacy parameters: CCyR, MMR, MR4 and MR4.5 rate at month 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24
-
Patient-reported outcome measures (QoL)
-
Progression-free survival (PFS)
-
Overall survival (OS)
-
The rate of emerging mutations during Bosutinib treatment
Exploratory endpoints linked to substudies:
Vascular biology substudy:
-
Effects of previous therapy on the baseline vascular risk profile (i.e. Nilotinib- vs. Dasatinib-pre-treatment)
-
Biological and clinical surrogates for vascular alterations during Bosutinib therapy at baseline, months 6, 12, and 24
Pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD) and immunology sub- study:
-
Correlation of PK with response and toxicity
-
Correlation of PK with PD (i.e. phosphoproteomic changes) in immune cell populations
-
Correlation of PD changes in immune cell populations with response
-
Evaluation of the effects of Bosutinib on frequency and phenotype of immune cells
-
Evaluation whether Bosutinib-induced changes of immune cells correlate to response
Ultra-deep next-generation sequencing (UD-NGS) and telomere substudy:
-
Documentation of subclone evolution or elimination during Bosutinib treatment
-
Evaluation of telomere length in leukemic and non-leukemic cells as a prognostic indicator for depth and kinetics of response to and tolerability of Bosutinib
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Bosutinib Drug: Bosulif 100 mg or 500 mg tablets step in dosing scheme |
Drug: Bosulif
Patients will start with dose-level 1 (300 mg once daily) Bosutinib. If patients do not experience any toxicity or only G1 toxicity, they will be dose-increased first to dose-level 2 (400 mg once daily ) and then to dose-level 3 (500 mg once daily). Dose will not be escalated above 500 mg which is the dose recommended by the summary of product information. If patients experience G2 toxicity, the study drug will be further continued at the same dose-level. In patients with G3 or G4 toxicities, therapy will be withheld until toxicity resolved to <G2.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Rate of GI-Toxicity (i.e. incidence and severity of grade 2 to 4 toxicities) [within the first 6 months of treatment]
calculation of the incidence rate of grade 2 to 4 GI toxicity with and without regard to causality
Secondary Outcome Measures
- overall Tolerability (i.e. all grade, grade 2 to 4 and grade 3 and 4 toxicities) [at month 6, 12 and 24]
Apart from grade 2 to 4 GI toxicity, the occurrence of toxicity will be analyzed in general. This regards all grade toxicity, 2 to 4 grade and 3 to 4 grade toxicity (NCI CTCAE v4.0).
- Molecular response mesured by efficacy parametern [at month 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24]
Rating of CCyR, MMR, MR4 and MR4.5 after bone marrow aspiration and biopsy
- Patient-reported outcome measures (QoL) [at month 3 and 6]
The EORTC QLQ-CML30 will be scored according to the respective user's guides.
- Progression-free survival (PFS) [at month 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24]
Progression will be assessed according to the visit schedule at any visit.
- Overall Survival (OS) [at month 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24]
Survival will be assessed according to the visit schedule at any visit.
- The rate of emerging mutations during Bosutinib treatment [at month 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24]
The rate and type of mutations will be described. The rate will be given as percentage of patients developing mutations.
Other Outcome Measures
- Vascular biology substudy: analysis of clinical and laboratory vascular and metabolic risk factors [baseline, at months 6, 12 and 24]
Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) will be prospectively evaluated followed by analysis of various biomarkers for vascular damage
- Pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD) substudy [at day 1, months 1, 2, 3, 12, 18, 24]
