Abstract
Asciminib, a "Specifically Targeting the ABL Myristoyl Pocket" inhibitor, is a new drug in the treatment of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-resistant chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Hemocytopenias associated with asciminib are common adverse events documented by clinical trials. We report a case of precipitous-onset pancytopenia with the initiation of asciminib treatment in a patient with TKI-resistant CML. This case had a confounding array of laboratory findings that evidenced a drug-induced hemophagocytic component. We hope that our case stimulates further reporting of similar cases to enhance the understanding of the pathophysiology underlying asciminib-induced hemocytopenias.
期刊介绍：
IJCIIS encourages research, education and dissemination of knowledge in the field of Critical Illness and Injury Science across the world thus promoting translational research by striking a synergy between basic science, clinical medicine and public health. The Journal intends to bring together scientists and academicians in the emergency intensive care and promote translational synergy between Laboratory Science, Clinical Medicine and Public Health. The Journal invites Original Articles, Clinical Investigations, Epidemiological Analysis, Data Protocols, Case Reports, Clinical Photographs, review articles and special commentaries. Students, Residents, Academicians, Public Health experts and scientists are all encouraged to be a part of this initiative by contributing, reviewing and promoting scientific works and science.
