6. Participants must have adequate end organ function as per the investigator’s judgement.
7. Participants must have the following electrolyte values within normal limits or corrected to be within normal limits with supplements prior to the first dose of study treatment:
a. Potassium (potassium increase of up to 6.0 mmol/L is acceptable at study entry if associated with creatinine clearance within normal limits).
b. Total calcium (corrected for serum albumin); (calcium increase of up to
12.5 mg/dL or 3.1 mmol/L is acceptable at study entry if associated with creatinine clearance within normal limits).
c. Magnesium, except for magnesium increase more than upper level of normal (ULN) – 3.0 mg/dL or more than ULN – 1.23 mmol/L associated with creatinine clearance (calculated using Cockcroft-Gault formula) within normal limits.
 
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  1. Known second chronic phase of CML after previous progression to CML-acute phase (AP)/CML-blast crisis (BC).
2. Previous treatment with a hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation.
3. Cardiac or cardiac repolarization abnormality, including any of the following:
a. History within 6 months prior to starting study treatment of myocardial infarction (MI), angina pectoris, and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)
b. Clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias (e.g., ventricular tachycardia), complete left bundle branch block, high-grade atrioventricular (AV) block (e.g., bifascicular block, Mobitz type II and third-degree AV block)
c. QT corrected for heart rate by Fridericia’s cube root formula (QTcF) at screening ≥450 msec (both male and female participants)
d. Long QT syndrome, family history of idiopathic sudden death or congenital long QT syndrome, or any of the following:
i) Risk factors for Torsades de Pointes (TdP) including uncorrected hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia, history of cardiac failure, or history of clinically significant/symptomatic bradycardia.
ii) Inability to determine the QTcF interval.
4. Concomitant medication(s) with a “Known risk of TdP” (per www.crediblemeds.org/) that cannot be discontinued or replaced 7 days prior to starting study treatment by safe alternative medication.
5. History of acute pancreatitis within 1 year of study entry or past medical history of chronic pancreatitis.
6. Known infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or active hepatitis B or C.
7. Known presence of significant congenital or acquired bleeding disorder unrelated to cancer.
8. Previous treatment with or known/suspected hypersensitivity to asciminib or any of its excipients.
9. Participants must avoid consumption of grapefruit, Seville oranges, or products containing the juice of each during the entire study and 7 days before the first dose of study treatment, due to potential CYP3A4 interaction with the study treatment. Orange juice is allowed. Participants must avoid consumption of over-the-counter medications or herbal supplements as these can interact with each other and may alter the effects of asciminib.
10. Participation in a prior investigational study within 30 days prior to enrollment or within 5 half-lives of the investigational product, whichever is longer.
11. Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
12. Women of childbearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception.
13. If a participant is presenting with symptoms suggestive of possible Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) infection, advise ruling it out by appropriate testing recommended by health authorities.
14. Nucleic acid amplification tests for viral RNA (polymerase chain reaction), to measure current infection with SARS-CoV-2

Response - NO
Brief Summary  

This is Phase IV, prospective, multicenter, single arm, open-label, post-authorization interventional study to assess the safety and efficacy of Asciminib in Indian participants with Ph+ CML-CP (without T3151 mutation) previously treated with 2 or more TKIs and participants with Ph+ CML-CP with T3151 mutation irrespective of the line of treatment

The study will include 3 periods, a screening period (upto 21 Days), a treatment period of upto 6 months with Asciminib (with dosing according to mutation status) and a safety follow-up period for 30 days after the last dose of the study treatment. Completion of the safety follow-up period after the last dose of the study treatment will be considered as end of study (EOS).
