Abstract
This case highlights a young CML patient who achieved a major molecular response (MMR) after just four months with a subtherapeutic dose of asciminib. The patient could not tolerate full-dose asciminib, or the full dose of two previous tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) due to myelotoxicity, but blood counts recovered rapidly upon TKI suspension and reduced dosing enabled sustained treatment. This is the second reported case of the use of 20 mg QD asciminib, four times below the recommended dose, and the first to demonstrate efficacy at this dose. The study emphasizes asciminib's potential for overcoming treatment challenges associated with multi-resistant/intolerant CML patients.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Hematology covers the whole spectrum of clinical and experimental hematology, hemostaseology, blood transfusion, and related aspects of medical oncology, including diagnosis and treatment of leukemias, lymphatic neoplasias and solid tumors, and transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells. Coverage includes general aspects of oncology, molecular biology and immunology as pertinent to problems of human blood disease. The journal is associated with the German Society for Hematology and Medical Oncology, and the Austrian Society for Hematology and Oncology.
