Asciminib as Initial Therapy for Patients With Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in Chronic Phase

Is NCT05143840 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 2 trial studies multiple treatments including Single Agent Asciminib and Low TKI for chronic myeloid leukemia, chronic phase.

Phase 2RecruitingAugusta UniversityNCT05143840Data as of May 2026

Treatment: Single Agent Asciminib · Low TKIThis study is a multicenter Phase 2, non-randomized, open-label single-group frontline study administering asciminib in patients with newly diagnosed Chronic Myeloid Leukemia-Chronic Phase (CML-CP). The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of asciminib in newly diagnosed CML-CP. Patients will receive asciminib 80 mg orally once daily during the single asciminib phase. Response is determined by PCR (polymerase chain reaction) blood test during the study. Patients who have not achieved a response after 24 months (but no later than 36 months) of single agent asciminib will be offered the addition of a low dose tyrosine kinase inhibitor (low-TKI) namely dasatinib, imatinib, or nilotinib at the investigator's discretion. The following doses of the TKIs will be used: 1. Dasatinib 50 mg daily 2. Imatinib 300 mg daily 3. Nilotinib 300 mg daily Patients will discontinue study treatment if they experience disease progression, or unacceptable toxicity.
