Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding asciminib to standard tyrosine kinase inhibitors can prevent relapse in patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or blastic phase chronic myeloid leukemia after a stem cell transplant. 45 participants will be randomly assigned to receive asciminib plus standard drugs or standard drugs alone. The study will monitor relapse rates and side effects over time.
