VIDEO: Strong results for asciminib in chronic myelogenous leukemia
In this video, Christine McMahon, MD, discusses the results of the phase 3 ASC4FIRST study, pertaining to chronic myelogenous leukemia, presented at ASCO Annual Meeting.
McMahon, an assistant professor at University of Colorado School of Medicine, highlighted the study, which examined asciminib (Scemblix, Novartis) versus tyrosine kinase inhibitors for patients with newly diagnosed chronic-phase CML.
“Overall, asciminib had higher rates of [mismatch repair] compared to the current front-line standard TKIs, and it also appeared to have a more favorable tolerability,” McMahon said.
