Written by Rajive Patel, B.Pharm

What is SCEMBLIX?

SCEMBLIX is the brand name for asciminib and is available as an oral tablet.

What is SCEMBLIX used for?

SCEMBLIX is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor and is used to treat Philadelphia-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (Ph+ CML).

How does SCEMBLIX work?

SCEMBLIX is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). It blocks a certain protein in your body called BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase. This protein is found on cancer cells like CML and not on normal, healthy cells. It causes the cancer cells to grow and multiply. By blocking this protein, SCEMBLIX kills cancer cells and stops their spread.

The typical starting dose of SCEMBLIX is 80 mg taken by mouth once daily. Another recommended option is to take 40 mg twice daily, about 12 hours apart. If you have the T315I mutation in your cancer, the recommended starting dose is 200 mg taken by mouth twice daily, about 12 hours apart.

Is it safe for me to take SCEMBLIX?
