Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Imatinib mesylate

Experimental: Imatinib 400 mg - Oral dose of 400mg Imatinib once daily. All patients received the assigned dose starting on Day 0 (Visit 3). The dose of Imatinib could be interrupted, reduced, or escalated based on guidelines defined in protocol.

Experimental: imatinib 800 mg - Patients randomized to receive 800 mg Imatinib were to receive 400 mg twice daily (b.i.d.) oral administration, in the morning and the evening. All patients received the assigned dose starting on Day 0 (Visit 3). The dose of Imatinib could be interrupted or reduced based on guidelines defined in protocol.


Treatment: Drugs: Imatinib mesylate
Imatinib is packaged in bottles as 100mg and 400mg tablets
