Asciminib is an orally bioavailable, allosteric Bcr-Abl1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor, with antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, asciminib targets and binds to the myristoyl pocket of the Bcr-Abl1 fusion protein at a location that is distinct from the ATP-binding domain, thereby inhibiting the activity of both wild-type Bcr-Abl and certain mutation forms, including the T315I mutation. This binding results in the inhibition of Bcr-Abl1-mediated proliferation and enhanced apoptosis of Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) hematological malignancies. The Bcr-Abl1 fusion protein tyrosine kinase is an abnormal enzyme produced by leukemia cells that contain the Philadelphia chromosome.

4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

Asciminib is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML) in chronic phase who have been previously treated with 2 tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It is also indicated in the treatment of Ph+ CML in adult patients with the T315I mutation.


Scemblix is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myeloid leukaemia in chronic phase (Ph+ CML CP) previously treated with two or more tyrosine kinase inhibitors (see section 5. 1).


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Asciminib exerts its therapeutic activity by inhibiting an oncogenic protein responsible for the proliferation of CML. It may be administered orally once or twice a day depending on the condition being treated. By increasing the total daily dose 5-fold as compared to standard therapy (80mg daily vs. 400mg daily), it can be used to treat Ph+ CML with the T315I mutation, a typically treatment-resistant variant of the disease. As with many other chemotherapeutic agents, asciminib treatment can result in various forms of myelosuppression, including thrombocytopenia and neutropenia. Patients should receive frequent laboratory monitoring throughout therapy and dose adjustments may be required based on the severity of observed effects. Patients may also experience pancreatic and/or cardiovascular toxicity, both of which require frequent monitoring and may require dose adjustments as per prescribing information.

5.3 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

The median Tmax of asciminib following oral administration is 2.5 hours. At a dose of 80mg once daily, the steady-state Cmax and AUCtau were 1781 ng/mL and 15112 ng.h/mL, respectively. At a dose of 40mg twice daily, the steady-state Cmax and AUCtau were 793 ng/mL and 5262 ng.h/mL, respectively. At a dose of 200mg twice daily (for treatment of T315I mutants), the steady-state Cmax and AUCtau were 5642 ng/mL and 37547 ng.h/mL, respectively. As compared to the fasted state, the co-administration of asciminib with a high-fat meal decreased the AUC and Cmax by 62% and 68%, respectively, and its co-administration with a low-fat meal decreased the AUC and Cmax by 30% and 35%, respectively.


Route of Elimination

Asciminib is eliminated via biliary secretion facilitated by breast cancer-resistant protein (BCRP) transporters. Following oral administration, approximately 80% and 11% of an asciminib dose was recovered in the feces and urine, respectively. Unchanged parent drug accounted for 57% of drug material recovered in the feces and 2.5% in the urine.


Volume of Distribution

At steady-state, the apparent volume of distribution of asciminib is 151 L.


Clearance

The total apparent clearance of asciminib is 6.7 L/h at a total daily dose of 80mg and 4.1 L/h at a dose of 200mg twice daily.


5.4 Metabolism/Metabolites

Asciminib is negligibly metabolized, with unchanged parent drug comprising the main drug component in plasma (~93%) and following excretion (~57% in feces). The main circulating metabolites are M30.5, M44, and M29.5, accounting for approximately 5%, 2%, and 0.4% of the total administered dose, respectively. The oxidative metabolism of asciminib is mediated by CYP3A4, and the glucuronidation of asciminib is mediated by UGT2B7 and UGT2B17.


5.5 Biological Half-Life

The terminal elimination half-life asciminib is 5.5 hours when administered at 40mg twice daily and 9.0 hours when administered at 200mg twice daily.


5.6 Mechanism of Action

In most patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), progression of the disease is driven primarily by a translocation of the Philadelphia chromosome that creates an oncogenic fusion gene, _BCR-ABL1_, between the _BCR_ and _ABL1_ genes. This fusion gene produces a resultant fusion protein, BCR-ABL1, which exhibits elevated tyrosine kinase and transforming activities that contribute to CML proliferation. Asciminib is an allosteric inhibitor of the BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase. It binds to the myristoyl pocket of the ABL1 portion of the fusion protein and locks it into an inactive conformation, preventing its oncogenic activity.
