First seen Jan 24, 2026 · Last updated May 04, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study tests a drug called asciminib in children aged 1 to 18 with a specific leukemia (Ph+ CML-CP). The goal is to see if the drug can lower the number of cancer cells in the blood. About 50 children will take the drug, either newly diagnosed or if other treatments stopped working. The study focuses on controlling the disease, not curing it, as ongoing treatment may be needed.
