Scientific titleMini-allografting to complement treatment with glivec (Imatinib - formerly known as STI571) to eradicate minimal residual disease (MRD) in chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) patients aged 65 years and under with matched sibling donors: a randomised controlled trial
Study objectivesTo develop a novel clinical immune-therapeutic strategy for CML patients aged 65 and under, found to have suitable matched sibling allogeneic donors, and following remission induction with Glivec.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedChronic myeloid leukaemia
InterventionPatients will be given imatinib for 6 - 12 months with dose increases to 600 mg for poor response. Reduced intensity allograft with peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) after fludarabine, melphelan and campath conditioning will then take place. If the patient is less than 55 years and there is no complete cytogenetic response (CCR) by the end of 12 months of imatinib despite the dose increase to 600 mg, and if the patient is fit and well, there is an option for total body irradiation (TBI) and cyclophosphamide followed by bone marrow transplantation (BMT).

Stem cell transplantation (SCT) followed by incremental donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI) starting with 5 x 10^5 T cells/kg every 12 weeks from six months after allograft until the patient is in complete molecular remission by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (Q-RT-PCR). If the patient requires anti-leukaemic therapy prior to six months following SCT or if graft versus host disease (GVHD) prevents DLI after six months then there is an option for further imatinib post-SCT.
