NCT ID NCT07040982
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase trial is testing the drug asciminib as a maintenance treatment for adults with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) who have already received a stem cell transplant or CAR T-cell therapy. The goal is to see if asciminib is safe and tolerable when given after these cellular therapies to help prevent the cancer from coming back. About 30 participants will be enrolled to evaluate side effects and the best dose.
