Description

Ascimib Asciminib 40 mg Tablet contains Asciminib, a targeted therapy used to treat Philadelphia chromosome–positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML). It helps control cancer cell growth in patients resistant or intolerant to previous treatments.

Benefits

  • Targets CML cells with high precision

  • Effective in patients resistant to multiple TKIs

  • Helps achieve and maintain molecular remission

  • Oral therapy for convenient long-term treatment

  • Lower risk of some TKI-related side effects

Indications and Usage

Ascimib Asciminib 40 mg Tablet is indicated for:

  • Ph+ Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) — Chronic Phase

  • Patients previously treated with at least one TKI

How it Works

Asciminib uniquely targets the ABL myristoyl pocket, blocking BCR-ABL1 signaling responsible for leukemia cell growth. This disrupts cancer cell survival and slows disease progression while sparing healthy cells.
