The National Cancer Institute, under the Cancer Treatment Research program (CFDA 93.395), awarded a $700,338 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) effective May 11, 2026, with completion targeted for April 30, 2031. This research initiative focuses on identifying and validating resistance mechanisms to asciminib, the first allosteric tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) approved for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treatment. The project addresses a critical clinical gap by investigating how BCR::ABL1 mutations confer resistance to asciminib through both binding affinity impairment and disruption of its allosteric kinase conformational effects, leveraging lessons learned from prior research on orthosteric TKI resistance mechanisms. UCSF will employ orthogonal experimental approaches to identify single point mutants and compound mutations in BCR::ABL1 that confer asciminib resistance, with deliverables including characterization of novel resistance-conferring variants, validation of molecular mechanisms of resistance, and advancement of understanding regarding next-generation treatment options for CML patients. These research activities support the Cancer Treatment Research program's mission to develop improved cancer treatment methods and reduce treatment toxicity while maintaining therapeutic efficacy, conducted at UCSF's San Francisco, California facility.Federal Grant Award Summary
