3) **continued from above: ii) Advanced-phase, with hematologic relapse documented </= 2 weeks prior to treatment start (1) For CML-Adv, must have at least one of the following: (a) >/= 15% blasts in blood or BMA, (b) >/= 20% basophils in PB or BMA, (c) Platelets < 100 x 10(9)/L, unrelated to prior drug therapy (d) Extra-medullary infiltrates, other than in spleen or liver, with myeloid or lymphoid blast morphology (2) Ph+ ALL, with cytogenetically-documented progression and/or with >/= 5% blasts in blood or BMA (3) Cytogenetics to be performed, but results are not required to start therapy in patients with hematologic progression
4) **continued from above: c) Resistance or suboptimal response to prior Abl-kinase inhibitor, specifically: i) Chronic-phase with resistance to imatinib, dasatinib or nilotinib, defined as (1) Loss of CCyR at any time or failure to achieve CCyR after >/= 18 months (2) Loss of MCyR at any time or failure to achieve PCyR after >/= 12 months (3) Failure to achieve any CyR (ie, 65% Ph+) after >/= 6 months (4) Hematologic relapse or failure to achieve CHR after >/= 3 months; ii) Chronic-phase with suboptimal response to imatinib, defined as (1) Failure to achieve PCyR after >/= 6 months (2) Failure to achieve CCyR after >/= 12 months iii) Chronic-phase with suboptimal response to nilotinib or dasatinib, defined as (1) Failure to achieve PCyR after >/= 3 months (2) Failure to achieve CCyR after >/= 6 months of therapy
5) **continued from above: iv) Advanced-phase with resistance to imatinib or nilotinib (not eligible with hematologic resistance to dasatinib), defined as (1) Hematologic relapse or failure to achieve CHR after >/= 3 months (2) Ph+ ALL with cytogenetic or hematologic progression
6) Medical Conditions: a) Toxicity of any prior therapy must have resolved, returned to Grade 0 - 1 (Grade 2 for hematologic) or be considered irreversible b) Performance Status 0 - 1 at study entry
7) Signed Written Informed Consent: a) Subject must be able to provide written informed consent indicating that he/she is aware of the experimental nature of the therapy, alternatives, potential benefits, side effects, risks, and discomforts, and has been informed of the procedures to be followed b) Subject must be willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment schedule, laboratory tests, and requirements of the study
8) Age and Reproductive Status: a) Subjects >/= 18 years of age. b) Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must use an acceptable method of contraception to avoid pregnancy throughout the study, for at least 1 month after the last dose of dasatinib and at least 3 months after the last dose of BMS-833923 in order that the risk of pregnancy is minimized. WOCBP must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of beta HCG) within 72 hours prior to the start of investigational product |
