A retrospective, non-interventional cohort study design using data obtained from the Flatiron Health oncology electronic health record (EHR)-derived de-identified database, was used to address the study objectives. The overall asciminib cohort included adult patients with Philadelphia positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase (CML-CP), with or without the T3151 mutation, who initiated asciminib in any line of therapy. The third-line or later (3L+) asciminib cohort included adult patients with Ph+ CML-CP who did not have T315I mutation and initiated asciminib after prior use of at least 2 different tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) or omacetaxine. The 3L asciminib cohort included the subgroup of the 3L+ asciminib cohort who initiated asciminib after prior use of 2 different TKIs or omacetaxine. The fourth-line or later (4L+) asciminib cohort included the subgroup of the 3L+ asciminib cohort who initiated asciminib after prior use of at least 3 different TKIs or omacetaxine.
