A Non-Interventional Study on the Tolerability, Safety and Effectiveness of Asciminib in Newly Diagnosed and Pre-treated Patients With Philadelphia Chromosome-positive Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in the Chronic Phase in Germany - the ASC2ADHERE Study
The aim of this study is to assess the real-world effectiveness of asciminib in Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (Ph+ CML-CP) patients who were either newly diagnosed or previously treated with one ATP-competitive tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI).
• Written informed consent must be obtained before participation in the study/prior to any study-related documentation.
• Adult patients (≥18 years of age) with a confirmed diagnosis of Ph+ CML-CP. The presence of the Philadelphia chromosome may alternatively be confirmed by molecular detection of a BCR::ABL1 fusion gene/transcript (e.g., by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)), in accordance with the World Health Organization (WHO) 2022 classification.
• Patients who are either newly diagnosed or have received treatment with exactly one prior TKI. Prior TKI treatment is only permitted for patients in the Asciminib Cohort. Patients in the comparator cohorts (imatinib, dasatinib, bosutinib, nilotinib) must be newly diagnosed and must not have received any prior TKI treatment.
• Patients for whom the treating physician has made a clinical decision to initiate treatment with asciminib or another TKI (imatinib, dasatinib, bosutinib, nilotinib) as part of routine care. The clinical decision for treatment must have been made prior to enrollment. Treatment must not have started more than 14 days before study inclusion, and treatment may also begin after baseline assessment.
• Patients willing to participate in routine follow-up visits and complete patient-reported outcome questionnaires over the course of the study.
