2.7x more patients stayed on treatment vs TKI at week 961
More than half of patients stayed on SCEMBLIX through the Week 96 analysis vs bosutinib1
Discontinuation rate due to AEs was nearly 3.5x times lower with SCEMBLIX vs bosutinib1
42.3% of patients on SCEMBLIX had an AE that required dose reduction/interruption vs 64.5% on bosutinib1
By week 48, 47% in Scemblix arm reported Improvement in CML symptoms since starting treatment4
The PGIC-CML is a single question assessing patient self-report of change in CML symptom severity since the start of treatment.4
Considering all patients randomized on each arm (N = 157 asciminib and N = 76 bosutinib), Of note, very few patients on either treatment arm (n=6, <4%) reported any worsening of their CML symptoms at any time point.4
Objective: we report the long term impact on CML-specific symptoms, HRQOL, and work productivity in patients with CML-CP treated with asciminib compared to those treated with bosutinib up to 48 weeks of treatment.4
