The sentences
Patients in the asciminib arm maintained or showed a decreasing trend in severity in all individual MDASI-CML symptom items (demonstrating decreasing severity in 15 out of 20 symptoms); the most notable decreases in symptom severity reported in the overall timeframe were in the symptoms of fatigue (which was the highest at baseline) and having a dry mouth, although these decreases in scores were not clinically meaningful (Supplementary Table S2 ).
