Study start date: February 18, 2025

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This clinical trial focuses on evaluating a medication called asciminib for individuals with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who have a specific genetic mutation known as T315I. The study targets patients in either the chronic or accelerated phase of CML who have not responded well to other treatments, are unable to tolerate them, or cannot use a medication called ponatinib. This research is important because it seeks to provide a new treatment option for those who have limited choices due to resistance or intolerance to existing therapies, potentially improving their health outcomes and quality of life. Participants in this study will take asciminib in pill form and will be monitored to see how well the medication works and if it is safe for them. The study will take place in two parts. Initially, the "core phase" will focus on gathering key information about the drug's effectiveness and safety. If asciminib proves beneficial, participants may continue into an "extension phase," allowing them to keep receiving the drug until it becomes commercially available, or if it is decided not to proceed with its market release. This approach ensures that participants have ongoing access to potentially beneficial treatment while contributing to important medical research.

Protocol

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Design Details

20 patients to be enrolled

Total number of participants that the clinical trial aims to recruit.

Treatment Study

These studies test new ways to treat a disease, condition, or health issue. The goal is to see if a new drug, therapy, or approach works better or has fewer side effects than existing options.



Eligibility

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria: person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Signed informed consent must be obtained prior to participation in the study. * Male or female participants with a diagnosis of CML-CP or CML-AP ≥ 18 years of age. * Patients with CML-CP or CML-AP with history of documented T315I mutation after at least one TKI and are resistant, intolerant, or ineligible to ponatinib (according to Investigator judgment) * Not already treated with asciminib or another any allosteric TKI * Failure (adapted from the 2020 \& 2013 ELN Guidelines) or intolerance to Ponatinib at the time of Screening. * Ineligible to ponatinib according to Investigator (based on EU ponatinib SmPC) * Evidence of typical BCR::ABL1 transcript or atypical transcripts at the time of Screening which are amenable to standardized or non-standardized RQ-PCR quantification. Exclusion Criteria: * Previous hematopoietic allogeneic stem-cell transplantation * Cardiac or cardiac repolarization abnormality * Severe and/or uncontrolled concurrent medical disease that in the opinion of the Investigator could cause unacceptable safety risks or compromise compliance with the protocol (e.g. uncontrolled diabetes, active or uncontrolled infection, pulmonary hypertension) * History of clinical acute pancreatitis within 1 year of study entry or past medical history of chronic pancreatitis (except if ponatinib-induced and completely resolved at time of Screening) * History of acute or chronic liver disease (i.e., cirrhosis; liver impairment) * Known presence of significant congenital or acquired bleeding disorder unrelated to cancer * History of other active malignancy within 3 years prior to study entry with the exception of previous or concomitant basal cell skin cancer and previous carcinoma in situ treated curatively * Known history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), chronic Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), or chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection. Testing for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs Ag) and Hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb / anti HBc) will be performed at Screening * Impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of study drug (e.g. ulcerative disease, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, small bowel resection, or gastric bypass surgery) * Treatment with medications that meet one of the following criteria and that cannot be discontinued at least one week prior to the start of treatment with study treatment: * Moderate or strong inducers of CYP3A * Moderate or strong inhibitors of CYP3A * Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women * Women of child-bearing potential * Compound mutant T315I resistant to asciminib monotherapy (polyclonal ABL1 mutations including T315I can be enrolled) Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
