A Pivotal Study of HQP1351 in Patients of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in Chronic Phase With T315I Mutation

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of HQP1351 in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP) harboring T315I mutation. The efficacy of HQP1351 was determined by evaluating the subjects' major cytogenetic response (MCyR).

This is an open, single-arm, multi-center phase 2 clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral administrated HQP1351(40mg, QOD) in CML-CP patients with T315I mutation in China. A total of 40 CML-CP patients will be included in this pivotal study. After screening, eligible subjects will receive oral HQP1351 40mg on a continues once every other day dosing regimen , until disease progression, drug intolerance, or meet other treatment conditions to discontinue the study. During the course of treatment, each subject will be assessed regularly for hematological, cytogenetic and molecular responses. At the same time, safety information also will be evaluated.

12. Have diseases with abnormal bleeding and coagulation function, or have a bleeding disorder unrelated to CML within 3 months before first dose of study drug.
13. Underwent major surgery (except minor surgical procedures, such as placement or bone marrow biopsy) with 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
14. Require concurrent treatment with immunosuppressive agents, other than corticosteroids prescribed for a short course of therapy (It is defined as a daily dose of corticosteroids less than 30 mg prednisone or the same amount of other corticosteroids within 7 days).
15. Have active nervous system (CNS) disease as evidence by cytology or pathology. In the absence of clinical CNS disease, lumbar puncture is not required.
16. History of another primary malignancies.
