In the global, phase 3, open‐label ASCEMBL study in patients with CML in chronic phase (CML‐CP) pretreated with ≥2 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) (NCT03106779), asciminib (40 mg twice‐daily) demonstrated significant superiority over the ATP‐competitive TKI bosutinib (500 mg once daily) for the primary endpoint of major molecular response (MMR; BCR::ABL1 transcript levels on the international scale [BCR::ABL1IS] ≤0.1%) at week 24. This evidence concerns the gene BCR and chronic myelogenous leukemia, BCR-ABL1 positive.
