Study Summary

This trial compared the efficacy of two different drugs in treating patients with CML-CP who had previously been treated with a minimum of two other drugs.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with chronic myelogenous leukemia in the chronic phase (CML-CP) who have already tried at least two prior ATP-binding site TKIs and either didn't respond well or couldn't tolerate them. They must not have certain mutations, a history of heart issues, or severe concurrent diseases. Women of childbearing potential must use effective contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares asciminib (ABL001) to bosutinib in patients with CML-CP who've had inadequate responses to previous treatments. It aims to determine which drug is more effective after failure or intolerance to at least two other therapies.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include blood disorders like low platelet counts, digestive issues such as pancreatitis, liver problems, and cardiac complications including abnormal heart rhythms. Specific side effects will vary between asciminib and bosutinib.
