Study information
Scientific title
Management of Transformed Chronic myeloid leukaemia: Ponatinib and Intensive chemotherapy: a dose finding trial
Acronym
MATCHPOINT
Study hypothesis
The aim of this trial is to find a safe and effective dose of a drug called Ponatinib when used in combination with chemotherapy in patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML) whose disease has moved in to blast phase. Ponatinib is a Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI). TKIs stop enzymes called Tyrosine Kinases from working. By stopping these enzymes from working the normal signals within the cells are disrupted. TKIs are often used in the treatment of cancers including leukaemias such as CML. 30 patients from the United Kingdom will be invited to take part in this trial.
