- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Adult, Older adult
Who may be able to join

A condom is required to be used also by vasectomized men in order to prevent delivery of the drug via seminal fluid. Female partners of male patients must be advised to use highly effective methods of contraception.)

All patients will be treated with asciminib 200 mg BID. 50 patients will be enrolled from approximately 20 study sites in Germany.
Total maximum study duration is anticipated to be approximately 4 years. This includes an enrolment period of approximately 24 months and a minimum of 24 months of treatment with asciminib. The study will continue for 24 months from the date of the last patient enrolled. Enrolled patients will be followed for the duration of the study, death or withdrawal from participation. Patients who discontinue treatment during the study will also be followed for the duration of the study, including those, who changed anticancer therapy. Patients who experience an AE within the 30 days post discontinuation will be followed in particular to determine the consequences of the AE.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing asciminib 200 mg BID in people with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML), run by Thomas Ernst, PD Dr. med. at 1 site in Germany.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 21 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Rate of MR2 at 12 months (time frame: 12 months after start of therapy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Aug 2026.
