SCEMBLIX can be an option for adults with previously treated Ph+ CML in chronic phase

If you've taken another tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) for Ph+ CML in chronic phase but your treatment isn’t working as you’d hoped, it may be time to ask about SCEMBLIX. 

Here is more information about how SCEMBLIX compares to Bosulif* in patients with Ph+ CML in chronic phase previously treated with ≥ 2 TKIs.

In a head-to-head clinical study of adult patients with Ph+ CML in chronic phase previously treated with 2 or more TKIs:

Nearly 2x more patients achieved MMR with SCEMBLIX vs Bosulif at 24 weeks

Major molecular response (MMR) is a treatment goal that is reached when the level of BCR::ABL1 gene in the blood is ≤0.1% of the level measured at your CML diagnosis.

Percentage of people who achieved MMR at 24 weeks, SCEMBLIX vs. Bosulif. SCEMBLIX, 25% (40 of 157 patients). Bosulif 13% (10 of 76 patients.)

SCEMBLIX is the only treatment for Ph+ CML in chronic phase to show superior efficacy, such as response rates, vs Bosulif in a clinical trial.

At 96 weeks, more than 2x as many patients achieved MMR with SCEMBLIX vs Bosulif

In the same clinical study among patients with Ph+ CML in chronic phase who were previously treated with 2 or more TKIs:

Percentage of people who achieved MMR at 96 weeks, SCEMBLIX, vs. Bosulif. SCEMBLIX,, 38% (59 of 157 patients). Bosulif, 16% (12 of 76 patients.)
3x fewer patients on SCEMBLIX stopped treatment due to side effects at 96 weeks

In the same clinical study among patients with Ph+ CML in chronic phase who were previously treated with 2 or more TKIs:

Patients who had to stop treatment specifically due to side effects at 96 weeks, SCEMBLIX, vs Bosulif. Three times fewer patients on SCEMBLIX, stopped treatment due to side effects. SCEMBLIX, 8% (12 of 156 patients). Bosulif 26% (20 of 76)

Common side effects

In this clinical trial, the most common side effects reported (≥ 20%) with SCEMBLIX were nose/throat infections; pain in the muscles, bones, or joints; headache; and tiredness.

These are not all of the possible side effects of SCEMBLIX.
