Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to optimize the treatment of asciminib in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP) previously treated with 2 or more Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs).

Detailed description

This study consists of a screening period of up to 28 days, a treatment period of 144 weeks and a post-treatment safety follow-up period of 4 weeks. Patients will receive asciminib as study treatment continuously for up to 144 weeks or until disease progression, treatment failure or intolerance to treatment. At treatment initiation, asciminib will be provided to all trial patients at a total daily dose of 80 mg. All patients will be randomly assigned 1:1 to 2 groups with 80 mg given either as 40 mg b.i.d. or 80 mg q.d., using IRT to avoid any selection bias. In patients not achieving Major Molecular Responses (MMR) at 48 weeks or losing the response after the week 48 assessment up to week 108, asciminib dose may be escalated to 200 mg q.d. if in the investigator's opinion the patient may benefit from the escalation. In addition, there must not be any grade 3 or 4 toxicity while on therapy, or persistent grade 2 toxicity, possibly related to asciminib and unresponsive to optimal management. The trial will enroll a total of approximately 186 patients: * 156 patients with CML-CP not in MMR at baseline who were treated with two or more TKIs and who were either resistant (ELN 2020 warning or failure) or intolerant to the last treatment will be enrolled. For this population, the primary endpoint for MMR at 48 weeks will be assessed. * Up to 30 additional patients intolerant only to their last TKI treatment and in MMR at baseline will also be enrolled. This patient population will not be part of primary endpoint analysis; however, all assessments will be done as with the 156 patients from the population of the primary endpoint analysis.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Major Molecular Response (MMR) Rate at Week 48 for All Patients With no Evidence of MMR at BaselineWeek 48Major Molecular Response (MMR) is defined as a significant reduction in the level of BCR::ABL1 transcripts, which are the genetic markers of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Specifically, MMR is achieved when there is a ≥ 3.0 log reduction in BCR::ABL1 transcripts compared to a standardized baseline, which corresponds to a BCR::ABL1/ABL1 ratio of ≤ 0.1% on the international scale (IS).

Rate of Complete Cytogenetic Response (CCyR) for Subjects Without MMR at Baseline

Cytogenetic Response is assessed based on the percentage of Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) metaphases in the bone marrow, with a review of at least 20 metaphases required. Complete Cytogenetic Response (CCyR) is defined as 0% Ph+ metaphases in the bone marrow.

Time frame: Week 48 and end of treatment (up to 144 weeks)

Secondary

Time to MMR for Subjects Without MMR at Baseline

Time to MMR defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documented MMR. MMR itself is defined as achieving a BCR::ABL1 ratio of ≤ 0.1%.

Time frame: From the date of enrollment to the date of first documented MMR, assessed up to 144 weeks

Secondary

Time to Treatment Failure (TTF) for Subjects Without MMR at Baseline

Time from treatment assignment to treatment failure is defined as BCR-ABL1\>10%, assessed up to 144 weeks. For subjects who have not reached treatment failure, their TTFs will be censored at the time of last study assessment (PCR, cytogenetic, hematologic or extramedullary) before the cut-off date. TTF (in months) is calculated as: (date of treatment failure or censoring date - date of randomization + 1)/30.4375.

Time frame: Up to 144 weeks.
