- Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to optimize the treatment of asciminib in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP) previously treated with 2 or more Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs).
- Detailed Description
This study consists of a screening period of up to 28 days, a treatment period of 144 weeks and a post-treatment safety follow-up period of 4 weeks.
Patients will receive asciminib as study treatment continuously for up to 144 weeks or until disease progression, treatment failure or intolerance to treatment. At treatment initiation, asciminib will be provided to all trial patients at a total daily dose of 80 mg. All patients will be randomly assigned 1:1 to 2 groups with 80 mg given either as 40 mg b.i.d. or 80 mg q.d., using IRT to avoid any selection bias.
In patients not achieving Major Molecular Responses (MMR) at 48 weeks or losing the response after the week 48 assessment up to week 108, asciminib dose may be escalated to 200 mg q.d. if in the investigator's opinion the patient may benefit from the escalation. In addition, there must not be any grade 3 or 4 toxicity while on therapy, or persistent grade 2 toxicity, possibly related to asciminib and unresponsive to optimal management.
The trial will enroll a total of approximately 186 patients:
* 156 patients with CML-CP not in MMR at baseline who were treated with two or more TKIs and who were either resistant (ELN 2020 warning or failure) or intolerant to the last treatment will be enrolled. For this population, the primary endpoint for MMR at 48 weeks will be assessed.
* Up to 30 additional patients intolerant only to their last TKI treatment and in MMR at baseline will also be enrolled. This patient population will not be part of primary endpoint analysis; however, all assessments will be done as with the 156 patients from the population of the primary endpoint analysis.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Major Molecular Response (MMR) Rate at Week 48 for All Patients With no Evidence of MMR at Baseline Week 48 Major Molecular Response (MMR) is defined as a significant reduction in the level of BCR::ABL1 transcripts, which are the genetic markers of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Specifically, MMR is achieved when there is a ≥ 3.0 log reduction in BCR::ABL1 transcripts compared to a standardized baseline, which corresponds to a BCR::ABL1/ABL1 ratio of ≤ 0.1% on the international scale (IS).
The Major Molecular Response (MMR) rate at Week 48 for all patients with no evidence of MMR at baseline refers to the percentage of patients who achieve MMR after 48 weeks of treatment, despite not having MMR at the start.

Duration of MMR is defined as the time from the date of first documented MMR to the earliest date of loss of MMR, progression to accelerated phase (AP) or blast crisis (BC), or CML-related death. The duration of MMR is analyzed for the subjects in FAS who achieved MMR at any time.

PFS (in months) is calculated as: (date of disease progression/death or censoring date - date of randomization +1)/30.4375.
Change in Symptom Burden and Interference From Baseline Over Time According to the MDASI-CML PRO Instrument Week 4, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120 and at end of treatment (up to 144 weeks). The MD Anderson Symptom Inventory - Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (MDASI-CML) is a 26 item self-administered questionnaire for adult CML patients. Twenty of the items measure the severity of disease-related symptoms (symptom burden) and are scored from 0 (not present) to 10 (as bad as you can imagine) and 6 items that measure symptom interference with daily life (interference) scored from 0 (did not interfere) to 10 (interfered completely). For symptom burden, total scores range from 0 to 200 and for interference range from 0 to 60, with higher scores indicates high impact on severity of chronic myeloid leukemia-related symptoms and on impact of these symptoms on daily functioning for the patient.
