Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
All eligible patients will receive Asciminib 40mg twice a day (oral tablet) for up to five years.

Peripheral Blood/Bone Marrow will be analysed at the following timepoints and reviewed by the treating physician.
3, 6, 12 and 18 months.
Depending on the results, the asciminb dose may increase to 80mg twice a day, stay the same or stay the same and include another medication. The choice of additional medication will be at the investigators discretion.
Participants with BCR-ABL greater than 10% at 3 months, or with BCR-ABL greater than 1% at 12 months, will continue to receive asciminib, with the addition of another medication.
Participants who fail to achieve BCR-ABL less than or equal to 1% at 6 months, BCR-ABL less than or equal to 0.1% at 12 months or BCR-ABL less than or equal to 0.01% at 18 months will have asciminib dose escalation to 80mg BID if they are on asciminib monotherapy.


Participants will remain on treatment if well tolerated determined by treating physician for 5 years.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 323984 0
The primary outcome measure will be to assess the Early molecular response, or EMR, defined as the proportion of patients who achieve BCR-ABL less than 10% IS.
Timepoint [1] 323984 0
This will be assessed by a blood test at 3 months after starting treatment.
Primary outcome [2] 323985 0
The primary outcome measure will be to assess the Major molecular response, or MMR (BCR-ABL less than 0.1% IS). The outcome will be assessed by analysing peripheral blood and bone marrow.
Timepoint [2] 323985 0
This will be assessed at 12 months from starting treatment.
Secondary outcome [1] 383492 0
A secondary outcome measure will be to assess the safety and tolerability of the drug by reviewing the reported patients adverse events such as tiredness, nausea, headache's etc
Timepoint [1] 383492 0
This will be reviewed ongoing throughout the intervention period for a maximum of 5 years following the start of the intervention treatment, by monitoring patient medical records.
Secondary outcome [2] 383495 0
A secondary outcome measure will be to monitor the overall survival of patients receiving treatment. Patient medical records and death report will be reviewed.
Timepoint [2] 383495 0
This will be reviewed at the end of the intervention period, a maximum of 5 years following the start of the intervention treatment.
Secondary outcome [3] 385127 0
A secondary outcome will be to assess the safety and tolerability of the drug by reviewing the number of patients who come off treatment due to an adverse event' as a secondary outcome.

Summary
Brief summary
This purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of asciminib in newly diagnosed patients with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukaemia.

Who is it for?

You may be eligible for this study if you are an adult who has been newly diagnosed with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukaemia.

Study details

Eligible participants in this study will receive asciminb 40mg (oral) twice a day for up to five years.

Dose reduction or increase may occur depending on the patients tolerability and blood results. The investigator will review every 3 months.

During the trial patients will have blood tests performed and bone marrow samples taken to help determined the progress of the treatment.

It is hoped that this research will help determine the efficacy of this treatment, and what kinds of side effects/complications may occur with this treatment.
