The ASC4OPT study aims to potentially optimize dosing levels of asciminib in patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia in the chronic phase that have previously been treated with 2 lines of tyrosine kinase inhibitors. In this touchONCOLOGY interview, we speak with Professor Massimo Breccia (University of Rome, Rome, Italy) to discuss the ASCEMBL findings, what we learnt and the purpose of the ASC4OPT study.
The abstract entitled ‘ASC4OPT: A Phase 3b Open-Label Optimization Study of Oral Asciminib in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in Chronic Phase Previously Treated with 2 or More Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors’ (Abstract #4334) was presented at ASH Annual Meeting, 10–13, December, 2022.
