Imatinib is a standard long-term therapy for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Some people are able to stop taking imatinib after their CML is in remission, but sometimes it comes back and retreatment is needed. In this study, researchers want to see if adding the drug asciminib to imatinib therapy prior to a second attempt at stopping treatment will lead to prolonged treatment-free remission (no evidence of cancer after stopping therapy).
This study is for people with CML who attempted stopping imatinib once before and are considering stopping it for a second time. Asciminib and imatinib are taken orally (by mouth). Both drugs are already used to treat CML.
