Study summary

This is a Phase III, multi-center, open-label, parallel, 2-arm, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of radotinib 300 mg Bis In Die(BID) versus imatinib 400 mg Quaque Die(QD).

This study will be conducted in Chinese patients with newly diagnosed Ph+ Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia(CML)-Chronic Phase(CP) who are previously untreated for Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia(CML).

Read the detailed description

Patients randomized to the radotinib arms will receive 300 mg of radotinib BID at approximately 12-hour intervals. Patients randomized to the imatinib 400 mg arm will receive imatinib once a day throughout the study.

The primary efficacy endpoint is the rate of Major Molecular Response(MMR) at 12 months (1 month = 4 weeks = 28 days), defined as BCR ABL1/ABL% ≤ 0.1% by international scale. The Molecular Response(MR) rate will be measured every 3 months by Real-time Quantitative(RQ)-Polymerase Chain Reaction(PCR) in a central laboratory. All patients will be treated and/or followed for 12 months (48 weeks) after randomization.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. China who are 18 years of age or older.
  2. (ECOG) score 0, 1, or 2.
  3. Patients with confirmed diagnosis of CML-CP within last 6 months.
  4. Patients with cytogenetically confirmed Ph+ CML in chronic phase
  5. Patients with typical BCR-ABL1 transcript type such as b2a2 and b3a2.
  6. Patients with adequate organ function.
  7. Women of should have negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 14 days before study entry.
  8. Patients providing written before initiation of any study-related activities.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with Philadelphia chromosome negative but BCR-ABL1 positive CML.
  2. Patients who had been treated with interferon or other targeted anti-cancer therapy which inhibits the growth of leukemic cells
  3. Concurrently primary
  4. Patients who previously received radiotherapy
  5. Patients with impaired cardiac function.
  6. uncontrolled chronic medical condition
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 3, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
