Trial Information

Phase II Study of a Proteasome Inhibitor, PS-341 (NSC 681239) in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) in Chronic or Accelerated Phase


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the efficacy of bortezomib, in terms of response rate, duration of response,
and survival of patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous
leukemia in chronic or accelerated phase.

- Assess the toxicity of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive bortezomib intravenous (IV) over 3-5 seconds twice weekly on weeks
1-2. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 5-30 patients will be accrued for this study within 15-30
months.
