Brief Title: Imatinib Mesylate After a Donor Stem Cell Transplant in Treating Patients With Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Leukemia
Official Title: A Multicenter Pilot Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Imatinib as Post-Transplant Therapy for High- Risk Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Leukemias
Study ID: NCT00244829
Brief Summary: RATIONALE: Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving imatinib mesylate after a donor stem cell transplant may prevent the recurrence of Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemia. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of giving imatinib mesylate after a donor stem cell transplant and to see how well it works in treating patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemia.
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES: Primary * Determine the safety of adjuvant imatinib mesylate after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) in patients with high-risk Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemia. Secondary * Determine the bcr/abl transcript load during the first 90 days after AHSCT in patients treated with this drug from the time of engraftment. * Determine the 1-year survival of patients treated with this drug. OUTLINE: This is an open-label, pilot, multicenter study. Beginning within 14-30 days after allogeneic stem cell transplantation, patients receive oral imatinib mesylate once daily until 1 year after transplantation. Treatment continues in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Patients are followed for survival. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20 patients will be accrued for this study.
