Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Part 1 Dose Escalation: Incidence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) occurring during cycle 1 (debulking induction)
During Cycle 1 (Cycle 1 = 28 days)

A dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined as an adverse event which starts between Day 1 and Day 28, is suspected by the investigator to be related to asciminib, and meets one of the several criteria.

Part 1 Dose Escalation: Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) during cycle 1 (debulking induction)
During Cycle 1 (Cycle = 28 days)

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.

Part 2 Dose Expansion: Percentage of complete response/remission (CR) evaluable participants who achieve CR treated at recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) (debulking induction)
End of Cycle 1 (Cycle 1 = 28 days)

Participants with Complete Response/Remission (CR) will achieve the following: No circulating blasts or extramedullary disease; No lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, skin/gum infiltration, testicular mass/CNS involvement; Marrow \<5% blasts (M1) OR \< 1% blasts by flow cytometry. If a discrepancy occurs between disease detection methods, the result of the flow cytometry assay will be used to determine CR status; Peripheral blood count recovery; ANC \> 1000μL and platelets \> 100,000μL. CR evaluable: Participants will be considered CR evaluable for Part 2 if they have relapsed/refractory Ph+ ALL defined as either \>1% bone marrow (BM) blasts by MFC or immunoglobulin/T-cell receptor (IG/TCR) PCR, OR \> 5% BM blasts by morphologic evaluation at enrollment and are treated at RP2D.
