Second STOP After Pioglitazone Priming in CML Patients
Official title: Combination Study of Pioglitazone and Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Patients After Failure of a First TKIs Discontinuation Attempt in Order to Prepare a New Stop
Run by Versailles Hospital · NCT02889003 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This phase 2 study tests whether adding pioglitazone to a TKI can help CML patients who lost major molecular response after stopping a TKI to regain disease control.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with CML who have achieved or maintained MR4 and experienced loss of MMR after stopping a TKI, and who have prior TKI exposure and meet organ function criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not achieve or maintain MR4 with the combination or who experience intolerable drug-related adverse effects may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a single-center, prospective phase II trial evaluating safety and how the drug combo behaves in the body when pioglitazone is added to a TKI in CML patients who lost MMR after stopping a TKI. Participants have received prior TKIs (imatinib, dasatinib, nilotinib, or bosutinib) and are over 18 years old. The study follows patients for at least 6 months of combination therapy and then up to 12 months after a second TKI discontinuation to see if MMR is preserved. Primary aims focus on safety and pharmacokinetics, with a secondary goal of seeing whether MMR is maintained without relapse over the 12-month period.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could help some patients maintain disease control after TKI discontinuation and potentially extend remission.
How similar studies have gone: Previous strategies combining targeted therapy with metabolic modulators have shown signal in similar settings, but this specific pioglitazone plus TKI approach in post-discontinuation relapse is not yet established.
