Multi-center, open-label, single arm study of asciminib in participants aged ≥1 year to
≤30 years old with r/r Ph+ or ABL-class Ph-like ALL. This study will have 2 parts: Part 1
dose escalation and Part 2 dose expansion. Part 1 dose escalation will enroll
participants aged ≥1 year to ≤30 years to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D)
of asciminib when administered with low intensity chemotherapy. Part 2 dose expansion
will enroll participants aged ≥1 year to ≤30 years to evaluate safety, tolerability, and
efficacy of asciminib at the RP2D with the treatment regimen.
Study sponsor and potential other locations can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT07387926.
This is a single arm phase I/II multicenter study to assess the safety and efficacy of
asciminib at the RP2D in combination with low intensity chemotherapy (debulking
induction) followed by asciminib plus blinatumomab (consolidation) in pediatric and young
adult participants with r/r Ph+ ALL (inclusive of participants with T315I mutation).
The aim of the study design is to explore a novel treatment regimen which is expected to
be more tolerable than the high intensity chemotherapy backbone-based regimens.
This study will consist of a 2-part design:
Part 1 dose escalation using a Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) statistical design, and
after determination of RP2D Part 2 dose expansion.
Participants will only enroll in either Part 1 or Part 2, and not both.
Both Part 1 and Part 2 (dose escalation and dose expansion) will have the following
phases:
- Core Study Treatment Phase
- Survival Follow up Phase
Participants with known T315I mutation will not participate in Part 1 or Part 2. They
will be part of a separate cohort.
The core study treatment phase will consist of 3 cycles of therapy: cycle 1 asciminib
with low intensity chemotherapy (debulking induction), followed by cycle 2
(blinatumomab-block 1 with asciminib) and cycle 3 (blinatumomab-block 2 with asciminib).
