Asciminib plus dasatinib and prednisone for Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute leukemia.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

Dasatinib is an effective treatment for Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute leukemia, but some patients develop resistance. Combination treatment with dasatinib and asciminib, an allosteric inhibitor of BCR::ABL1, may deepen responses and prevent the emergence of dasatinib-resistant clones. In this phase 1 study (NCT03595017), 24 adults with Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL; n = 22; p190, n = 16; p210, n = 6) and chronic myeloid leukemia in lymphoid blast crisis (n = 2) were treated with escalating daily doses of asciminib in combination with dasatinib 140 mg daily plus prednisone 60 mg/m2 daily to determine the maximum tolerated dose. After a 28-day induction, dasatinib and asciminib were continued indefinitely or until hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Th
