Pharmacokinetics of Asciminib 200 mg in the Presence of a Strong CYP3A4 Inducer, Phenytoin, in Healthy Participants.
Article in Clinical pharmacokinetics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesAsciminib is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed or previously treated Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (Ph+ CML-CP) at a total daily dose of 80 mg, as well as adult patients with Ph+ CML with the T315I mutation at 200 mg twice daily. In patients with the T315I mutation, responses have been observed at doses of ≥150 mg twice daily and dose reduction to 160 mg twice daily is permitted for management of adverse reactions. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of strong CYP3A4 induction, through phenytoin, on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of single dose asciminib 200 mg. Coproporphyrin-1 (CP-1) was also measured to evaluate the effect of asciminib 200 mg on organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B (OATP1B).
methodsThis Phase 1 open-label fixed-sequence study evaluated the PK of a single oral dose of asciminib in healthy participants when administered alone and in combination with phenytoin. A single dose of 200 mg asciminib was administered on Day 1, followed by the administration of phenytoin 100 mg three times daily from Day 6 to Day 23, taken 8 h apart to ensure full induction. On Day 20, the morning doses of phenytoin and asciminib were co-administered. Serial blood samples were collected for the assessment of asciminib PK and CP-1 plasma concentrations.
resultsAll 15 participants who enrolled were male and 14 received study treatment per protocol. Following co-administration with phenytoin, asciminib-adjusted geometric mean maximum plasma concentration (C
conclusionsThese data support that, considering its large therapeutic window, asciminib 200 mg twice daily can be used without any dose adjustment when co-administered with a strong CYP3A4 inducer drug. Furthermore, asciminib is not an OATP1B inhibitor up to this dose.
