Shown is the number of patients who received at least one dose of asciminib.

The total number is the number of patients who could be evaluated.

§

Data on cytogenetic responses are based on patients who presented with Philadelphia chromosome–positive CML at baseline. Calculation of the number of patients in whom a major cytogenetic response or complete cytogenetic response was achieved is based on patients not in the respective response category at baseline.

Molecular-response assessment is reported only for patients with the b2a2 or b3a2 transcripts; 7 patients had atypical BCR-ABL1 transcripts and were not included in the response assessment.

The numbers of patients who received at least one dose of asciminib were as follows: 34 with chronic-phase CML without a T315I mutation, 12 with chronic-phase CML with a T315I mutation, and 1 with accelerated-phase CML without a T315I mutation.

**

The numbers of patients who received at least one dose of asciminib were as follows: 79 with chronic-phase CML without a T315I mutation, 16 with chronic-phase CML with a T315I mutation, 3 with accelerated-phase CML without a T315I mutation, and 5 with accelerated-phase CML with a T315I mutation.

The numbers of patients who received at least one dose of asciminib were as follows: 18 with chronic-phase CML without a T315I mutation, 11 with chronic-phase CML with a T315I mutation, and 2 with accelerated-phase CML with a T315I mutation.
