Imatinib Mesylate and Decitabine in Treating Patients With Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia
Summary
RATIONALE: Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving imatinib mesylate together with decitabine may kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving imatinib mesylate together with decitabine works in treating patients with accelerated or blast phase chronic myelogenous leukemia.
Description
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the duration of response and response rate in patients with accelerated or blastic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia treated with imatinib mesylate and decitabine.
- Determine the survival rate of patients treated with this regimen.
- Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
- Determine the effects of this regimen on gene methylation in the leukemic cells of these patients.
OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to prior exposure to imatinib mesylate (yes vs no).
Patients receive oral imatinib mesylate daily and decitabine IV over 1 hour daily, 5 days per week, for 2 consecutive weeks. Courses repeat every 4-6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20-80 patients (10-40 per stratum) will be accrued for this study within 20 months.

This extension study will allow for further follow-up of the disease under treatment with imatinib mesylate and allow patients to continue to receive imatinib mesylate.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Imatinib Mesylate
A tyrosine kinase inhibitor and ANTINEOPLASTIC AGENT that inhibits the BCR-ABL kinase created by chromosome rearrangements in CHRONIC MYELOID LEUKEMIA and ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA, as well as PDG-derived tyrosine kinases that are overexpressed in gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
Dasatinib
A pyrimidine and thiazole derived ANTINEOPLASTIC AGENT and PROTEIN KINASE INHIBITOR of BCR-ABL KINASE. It is used in the treatment of patients with CHRONIC MYELOID LEUKEMIA who are resistant or intolerant to IMATINIB.
Abelson Murine Leukemia Virus
A replication-defective strain of Murine leukemia virus (LEUKEMIA VIRUS, MURINE) capable of transforming lymphoid cells and producing a rapidly progressing lymphoid leukemia after superinfection with FRIEND MURINE LEUKEMIA VIRUS; MOLONEY MURINE LEUKEMIA VIRUS; or RAUSCHER VIRUS.
Friend Murine Leukemia Virus
A strain of Murine leukemia virus (LEUKEMIA VIRUS, MURINE) producing leukemia of the reticulum-cell type with massive infiltration of liver, spleen, and bone marrow. It infects DBA/2 and Swiss mice.
Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus
A strain of Murine leukemia virus (LEUKEMIA VIRUS, MURINE) arising during the propagation of S37 mouse sarcoma, and causing lymphoid leukemia in mice. It also infects rats and newborn hamsters. It is apparently transmitted to embryos in utero and to newborns through mother's milk.
