PONAZA : A COMBINATION OF PONATINIB AND 5-AZACITIDINE IN CHRONIC MYELOGENOUS LEUKAEMIA IN ACCELERATED PHASE OR IN MYELOID BLAST CRISIS
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This project is strategy aiming to improve the survival of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia in advanced phase and myeloid blast crisis.
The basis of this strategy is to add the demethylating agent 5-Azacitidine to the tyrosine kinase inhibitor ponatinib and evaluate its activity in 2 cohorts of patients with either chronic myelogenous leukemia in advanced phase or myeloid blast crisis.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: AP-CML Patient with Philadelphia chromosome positive CML in accelerated phase is defined by the presence of 15-29% blasts in peripheral blood (PB) or bone marrow (BM), ≥ 20% basophils in PB or BM, ≥ 30% blasts plus promyelocytes (with blasts <30%) in PB or BM, <100 x109/L platelets unrelated to therapy, or by clonal cytogenetics evolution (i.e., the presence of cytogenetic abnormalities other than the Philadelphia chromosome); |
Drug: Ponatinib
Induction phase (first three cycles)
- ponatinib: 45 mg/day orally continuously
Following the results of disease evaluation after 3 cycles:
Cohort A: AP-CML If a CHR and complete cytogenetic response are obtained after 3 months, ponatinib will be decreased at 30mg/day. If CHR and/or CCyR are not reached, ponatinib may be maintained at 45mg/day for another 3 cycles if decided by the investigator.
Cohort B: MBC-CML If a CHR is obtained during the induction phase, ponatinib daily dose will be reduced to 30 mg/day. If CHR is not reached, ponatinib may be maintained at 45mg/day for another 3 cycles if decided by the investigator.
Maintenance therapy:
Ponatinib will be decreased to 30 mg/day. During maintenance therapy, If a major molecular response is reached, ponatinib will be decreased to 15mg/day
Drug: Azacitidine
Induction phase (first three cycles), Following the results of disease evaluation after 3 cycles and Maintenance therapy:
- 5-azacitidine : 75 mg/m² subcutaneously day 1 to day 7, every 4 weeks
No dose modification of 5-Azacitidine is planned in both cohorts. Azacitidine may be stopped at 24 months in case of MR4 defined as 0.0032%<MR4≤0.01%;
|
Experimental: MBC-CML Patient with Philadelphia chromosome positive CML in myeloid blast crisis is defined by the presence of ≥ 30% blasts in the bone marrow and/or peripheral blood or the presence of extramedullary disease. |
Drug: Ponatinib
Induction phase (first three cycles)
- ponatinib: 45 mg/day orally continuously
Following the results of disease evaluation after 3 cycles:
Cohort A: AP-CML If a CHR and complete cytogenetic response are obtained after 3 months, ponatinib will be decreased at 30mg/day. If CHR and/or CCyR are not reached, ponatinib may be maintained at 45mg/day for another 3 cycles if decided by the investigator.
Cohort B: MBC-CML If a CHR is obtained during the induction phase, ponatinib daily dose will be reduced to 30 mg/day. If CHR is not reached, ponatinib may be maintained at 45mg/day for another 3 cycles if decided by the investigator.
Maintenance therapy:
Ponatinib will be decreased to 30 mg/day. During maintenance therapy, If a major molecular response is reached, ponatinib will be decreased to 15mg/day
Drug: Azacitidine
Induction phase (first three cycles), Following the results of disease evaluation after 3 cycles and Maintenance therapy:
- 5-azacitidine : 75 mg/m² subcutaneously day 1 to day 7, every 4 weeks
No dose modification of 5-Azacitidine is planned in both cohorts. Azacitidine may be stopped at 24 months in case of MR4 defined as 0.0032%<MR4≤0.01%;
