What is the purpose of the study

The aim of this study is to support development of asciminib in patients aged 1 to <18 years with PH+ CML-CP previously treated with one or more tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Asciminib is not yet available for pediactric patients. The study will be conducted to identify the dose and assess the safety of asciminib as pediatric formulation.

What will happen during the study

There will be two treatment groups in this study:

  • A pediatric formulation group with patients aged 1 to <18 years who will receive a dose based on body weight (1.3 mg/kg). The dose will be given orally with food.
  • An adult formulation group with adolescent patients aged 14 to <18 years, weighing at least 40 kg, who will receive a flat dose of 40 mg orally twice daily under fasted conditions.

The total duration of the treatment period of the study will be 5 years (260 weeks). Participants who, according to Investigator’s judgement, are benefiting from study treatment will remain on treatment up to the completion of the treatment period.

Key inclusion criteria

This study includes male or female patients:

  • with Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (PH+ CML-CP)
  • in the pediatric formulation group: who are at least 1 and less than 18 years of age at study entry;
    in the adult formulation group: who are at least 14 and less than 18 years of age with a body weight of at least 40 kg at study entry
  • who meet all laboratory values specified in the study protocol.
  • who have previously been treated with at least one TKI

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

 

Key exclusion criteria

This study does not include patients:

  • with a known presence of the T315I mutation prior to study entry
  • in second chronic phase of CML after previous progression to advanced phase (AP) or blast crisis (BC)
  • who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or are planning to undergo allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

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

Estimated primary completion date
