| Inclusion Criteria: | 1) Patients must have CML in any phase (CP, AP, or BP of any phenotype) or Ph+ ALL.
2) For CP-CML and AP-CML be previously treated with and resistant or intolerant to imatinib, dasatinib and nilotinib or develop the T315I mutation after any TKI therapy. (A) Resistance is defined for CP-CML patients (CP at the time of initiation of TKI therapy) as follows. Patients must meet at least 1 criterion. Three months after the initiation of therapy: No cytogenetic response (>95% Ph+) or failure to achieve CHR; Six months after the initiation of therapy: Less than a minor cytogenetic response (>65% Ph+); Twelve months after the initiation of therapy: Less than a PCyR (>35% Ph+); At any time after the initiation of therapy, the development of new BCR-ABL kinase domain mutations in the absence of CCyR; At any time after the initiation of therapy, the development of new clonal evolution in the absence of CCyR;
3) **Continued from above: At any time after the initiation of therapy, the loss of any cytogenetic response [from complete (0%), partial (1% to 35%), minor (36% to 65%), or minimal (66% to 95%) to a response at least 1 grade worse], confirmed in at least 2 consecutive analyses separated by at least 4 weeks; At any time after the initiation of therapy, progression of disease (to AP or BP).
4) **Continued from above: (B) Resistance is defined for AP-CML patients (AP at the time of initiation of TKI therapy) as follows. Patients must meet at least 1 criterion. Three months after the initiation of therapy: failure to achieve a MaHR; At any time after the initiation of therapy, the loss of a MaHR, confirmed in at least 2 consecutive analyses separated by at least 4 weeks; At any time after the initiation of therapy, the development of new BCRABL kinase domain mutations in the absence of a MaHR.
5) **Continued from above: (C) Intolerance is defined as: Non-hematologic intolerance: Patients with grade 3 or 4 toxicity while on therapy, or with persistent grade 2 toxicity, unresponsive to optimal management, including dose adjustments (unless dose reduction is not considered in the best interest of the patient if response is already suboptimal) in the absence of a CCyR for CP-CML patients or MaHR for AP-CML patients; Hematologic intolerance: Patients with grade 3 or 4 toxicity (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] or platelets) while on therapy that is recurrent after dose reduction to the lowest doses recommended by manufacturer (400 mg daily [QD] for imatinib; 80 mg QD for dasatinib; 400 mg QD for nilotinib) in the absence of a CCyR for CP-CML patients or MaHR for AP-CML patients.
6) For BP-CML and Ph+ ALL be previously treated with and resistant or intolerant to imatinib and dasatinib or develop the T315I mutation after any TKI therapy. (A) Resistance is defined for BP-CML patients (BP at the time of initiation of imatinib or dasatinib therapy) and Ph+ ALL patients as follows. Patients must meet at least 1 criterion. One month after the initiation of therapy: failure to achieve a MaHR; At any time after the initiation of therapy, the loss of a MaHR, confirmed in at least 2 consecutive analyses separated by at least 1 week; At any time after the initiation of therapy, the development of new BCRABL kinase domain mutations in the absence of a MaHR.
7) **Continued from above: (B) Intolerance is defined as: Non- hematologic intolerance: Patients with grade 3 or 4 toxicity while on therapy, or with persistent grade 2 toxicity, unresponsive to optimal management, including dose adjustments (unless dose reduction is not considered in the best interest of the patient if response is already suboptimal) in the absence of a MaHR for BP-CML/Ph+ ALL patients; Hematologic intolerance: Patients with grade 3 or 4 toxicity (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] or platelets) while on therapy that is recurrent after dose reduction to the lowest doses recommended by manufacturer (400 mg QD for imatinib; 80 mg QD for dasatinib) in the absence of a MaHR for BP-CML/Ph+ ALL patients.
8) Patients must be >/=18 years old.
9) Provide written informed consent.
10) Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status </= 2.
11) Men and women of childbearing potential must agree to effective contraception from the time of signing informed consent through the Follow-up Visit, approximately 30 days after last dose of ponatinib. |
