Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Number of Clinically significant adverse events or abnormal laboratory values (dose-limiting toxicities) unrelated to disease progression, intercurrent illness, or concomitant medications on the combination treatment [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Rate of major cytogenetic response (MCyR) at 6 and 12 months [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Rate of complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) at 6 and 12 months [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Rate of major molecular response (MMR) at 12 months [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Safety profile of nilotinib in combination with interferon alfa, i.e. the number of dose limiting toxicities (DLT) for each interferon alfa dose level [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Event-free survival [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP) at screening
  • Initial diagnosis of CML cytogenetically confirmed by the presence of the Ph+ metaphases from the bone marrow
  • Patients who have been treated with nilotinib for a minimum of 6 months (1 month represents 28 days) after switch from previous CML treatments
  • Patients who have been treated with stable dosing of 2x400mg nilotinib within the last month before start of study treatment
  • No grade 3-4 CTC toxicities on nilotinib alone in the last month preceding the start of the study regimen

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who are considered Ph- because they do not have a confirmed cytogenetic diagnosis of the t(9;22) translocation in their bone marrow metaphases
  • Evidence of a point mutation within the BCR-ABL gene leading to a clinically relevant amino acid exchange in the kinase domain at position T315 (gatekeeper mutation T315I)
  • Impaired cardiac function
  • Severe or uncontrolled medical conditions (i.e. uncontrolled diabetes, active or uncontrolled infection).

Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply
