Andreas Hochhaus, ASH 2020 – The ASCEMBL Study and Asciminib in CML

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 […]

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the standard of care in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). Asciminib is the first BCR::ABL1 inhibitor that functions by specifically targeting the ABL myristoyl pocket. In this touchONCOLOGY interview, we speak with Professor Massimo Breccia (University of Rome, Rome, Italy) to discuss the limitations of TKIs in the […]
