New hope for CML patients: asciminib combo trial launches
NCT ID NCT07538401
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests asciminib, a newer targeted drug, alone or with dasatinib, in 45 adults with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) whose first treatment stopped working. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce cancer cells to very low levels within 24 weeks. Patients with high-risk mutations get the combination; others get asciminib alone.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
asciminib (with or without dasatinib)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a more effective second-line treatment option for people with CML whose first therapy stopped working.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial (45 people) with no results yet. The drug combination may not work better than existing options and could have side effects like fluid retention or heart issues.
