Abstrakt: Asciminib is a myristoyl site BCR::ABL1 inhibitor approved for chronic phase chronic myeloid leukaemia (CP-CML) patients failing ≥2 prior lines of therapy. The Australasian Leukaemia & Lymphoma Group (ALLG) conducted the ASCEND study to assess efficacy of asciminib for newly-diagnosed CP-CML. Patients commenced asciminib 40 mg twice daily (BID) and thereafter were managed according to molecular milestones. Patients with treatment failure, defined as BCR::ABL1 >10% (IS) at 3 or 6 months, or >1% at 12 or 18 months, received either imatinib, nilotinib or dasatinib in addition to asciminib. In patients with suboptimal response, defined as levels of 1-10% at 6 months, >0.1-1% at 12 months, or >0.01%-1% at 18 months, the asciminib dose was increased to 80 mg BID. With a median follow-up of 21 months (range 0-36), 82/101 patients continue asciminib. The most frequent reasons for treatment discontinuation were adverse events (6%), loss of response (4%) and withdrawn consent (5%). There were no deaths; one patient developed lymphoid blast crisis at 6 months. The co-primary endpoints were early molecular response (BCR::ABL1 ≤10% at 3 months), achieved in 93% (96% CI 86-97%), and major molecular response by 12 months achieved in 79%; (95% CI 69.7-86.8%), respectively. The cumulative incidence of MR4.5 was 53% by 24 months. One patient had 2 cerebrovascular events; no other arterial occlusive events were reported. Asciminib as frontline therapy in CP-CML produces high rates of molecular response with excellent tolerance and a low rate of discontinuation for toxicity.
