New hope for CML patients with Hard-to-Treat mutation?
NCT ID NCT06514534
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial is testing the drug asciminib in 20 adults with chronic myeloid leukemia who have a specific genetic change (T315I mutation) and cannot take the standard drug ponatinib. The goal is to see if asciminib can control the leukemia and improve outcomes. Participants take asciminib pills twice a day, and the study will measure how well the cancer responds after 12 months.
