Research Summary

This is a randomised phase 2 trial with a safety run-in, designed to study the safety and efficacy of HCQ in combination with Imatinib. CML CP patients who are in MCyR after >1 and <3 years of Imatinib treatment and tolerating Imatinib well will be randomised between Imatinib alone and Imatinib and HCQ 800mg/day. Imatinib will be given at the patient’s current stable dose. Treatment will be given continuously. Treatment with IM + HCQ will be continued for 12 cycles to further study tolerance and to study the efficacy of the combination to reduce or eliminate BCR/ABL+ cells. 33 patients will be randomised to each treatment to a total of 66 patients, recruited in 3 centres. Time required for accrual of all patients is anticipated to be 24 months. Time on study IM + HCQ treatment for each patient is 12 months. Follow-up assessments for each patient continue to 24 months. All patients will continue on their daily dose of Imatinib treatment that they were receiving prior to entry in the trial.
