What is the purpose of the study

This is a study to compare the tolerability of asciminib versus nilotinib for the treatment of newly diagnosed, previously untreated patients with Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myelogenous leukemia in chronic phase (Ph+ CML-CP).

This study includes patients of all sexes who:

  • are aged 18 years or older
  • have been diagnosed with Philadelphia chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP) within 3 months of study entry
  • have evidence of a typical BCR::ABL1 transcript [e14a2 and/or e13a2] that can be quantified on standardized real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) by the central laboratory
  • have an Eastern Co-Operative Group (ECOG) status of 0 or 1.

Further criteria may apply. Please discuss these with your doctor or study staff.

Key exclusion criteria

This study does not include patients who:

  • have been treated previously for CML with any other anti-cancer agents including chemotherapy and/or biologic agents or prior stem cell transplant, with the exception of hydroxyurea and/or anagrelide.
  • have known infiltration of the central nervous system (CNS) by malignant cells, as confirmed by cytopathology (a specialist diagnostic technique to examine cells)
  • have impaired cardiac function or cardiac repolarization abnormality.

Further criteria may apply. Please discuss these with your doctor or study staff.
