About this trial

The objective of this Phase II study is to assess the potential of asciminib in managing CML-CP or CML-AP in patient carrying the T315I mutation. The presence of this mutation introduces treatment difficulties due to the limited available options. The study seeks to collect additional data on the effectiveness and safety of asciminib for these patients. By determining the drug's capacity to manage the disease and enhance patients outcomes, the study is designed to fill the unmet medical need and potentially offer a new therapeutic path for patients at a treatment deadlock.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

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

Disqualifiers

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)

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • ABL001/Asciminib

    Drug

    The study treatment for this clinical trial is an investigational drug called asciminib, which is marketed under the brand name Scemblix®. Asciminib is a compound that is being evaluated for its efficacy and safety in the treatment of the target condition. The minimum dose of asciminib to be administered in this study is 200 mg, while the maximum dose is 400 mg. The dose is planned as 200 mg twice a day (BID). The drug will be administered orally, allowing for convenient and non-invasive administration.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Rate of BCR::ABL1 (Breakpoint Cluster Region Gene::Abelson proto-oncogene) IS (International Scale) ≤ 1% [MR2 (Molecular Response 2)]

Evaluation of asciminib efficacy : proportion of patients with MR2 (BCR::ABL1 IS ≤1%) level of response at 12 months.

Time frame
Month 12

Secondary outcomes

1

Kinetics of response: BCR::ABL1 IS (MR2, MMR, MR4.0, MR4.5, undetectable MR4.5)

Proportion of patients achieving the response levels (MR2, MMR, MR4.0, MR4.5, undetectable MR4.5)

Time frame
At 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months
2

Estimate response to treatment MR2 at 12 months in participants with BCR::ABL1 IS > 1% at treatment initiation or maintenance of MR2 at 12 months in participants with MR2 at treatment initiation

Proportion of patients with MR2 level of response (BCR::ABL1 IS ≤ 1%) in participants without MR2 at treatment initiation or maintenance of MR2 at 12 months in participants with MR2 at treatment initiation.

Time frame
At 12 months
3

Time to Major Molecular Response (MMR) (for participants not in MMR at treatment initiation)

Major Molecular Response (MMR) criteria is defined as a ≥ 3.0 log reduction in BCR::ABL1 transcripts compared to the standardized Baseline equivalent to ≤ 0.1 % BCR::ABL1 % by international scale as measured by RQ-PCR, confirmed by duplicate analysis of the same sample.

Time frame
up to 24 months
4

Duration of MMR

MMR criteria is defined as a ≥ 3.0 log reduction in BCR::ABL1 transcripts compared to the standardized Baseline equivalent to ≤ 0.1 % BCR::ABL1 % by international scale as measured by RQ-PCR, confirmed by duplicate analysis of the same sample.

Time frame
up to 24 months
