Combining the Allosteric Inhibitor Asciminib with Ponatinib Suppresses Emergence of and Restores Efficacy against Highly Resistant BCR-ABL1 Mutants (Cancer Cell)

Most clinical BCR-ABL1 compound mutants are insensitive to current clinical tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Eide et al. show that adding asciminib, an allosteric inhibitor, to ponatinib, an ATP site inhibitor, effectively targets compound mutants and provides a potential mechanism for the collaborative effect.
