(EXPLORER) Study of BLU-285 in Patients With Advanced Systemic Mastocytosis (AdvSM) and Relapsed or Refractory Myeloid Malignancies

NCT02561988

Description:

This is a Phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and antineoplastic activity of avapritinib (also known as BLU-285), administered orally (PO), in adult patients with advanced systemic mastocytosis and other relapsed or refractory myeloid malignancies. The study consists of 2 parts, a dose-escalation part (Part 1) and an expansion part (Part 2).

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

        For Part 1:Patients must have one of the following diagnoses based on World Heath
        Organization (WHO) diagnostic criteria:

          -  Aggressive systemic mastocytosis (ASM).

          -  Systemic mastocytosis with an associated hematologic neoplasm (SM-AHN) and at least 1
             C-finding attributable to systemic mastocytosis (SM). The AHN must be myeloid, with
             the following exceptions that are excluded: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML),
             Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that is very high- or high-risk as defined by the
             International prognostic scoring system for myelodysplastic syndromes (IPSS-R) and
             Philadelphia chromosome positive malignancies.

          -  Mast cell leukemia (MCL).

          -  Histologically- or cytologically- confirmed myeloid malignancy that is relapsed or
             refractory to standard treatments. AML, MDS that is very high- or high-risk as defined
             by the IPSS-R, and Philadelphia chromosome positive malignancies are excluded.

          -  Upon discussion with the sponsor, other relapsed or refractory, potentially
             avapritinib-responsive hematologic neoplasms (e.g., evidence of aberrant KIT or
             platelet derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) signaling) may be considered for
             enrollment.

        For Part 2, patients must have one of the following diagnoses, based on WHO diagnostic
        criteria:

        For Part 2, Cohort 2, patients must have at least 1 measurable C-finding per modified
        IWG-MRT-ECNM criteria at Baseline, attributed to SM unless diagnosis is MCL, which does not
        require a C-finding.

             least 28 days apart over the 12 weeks before study entry and 1 of the procedures is
             performed during the 6 weeks before study start (C1D1).

          -  ≥ Grade 2 abnormalities in direct bilirubin (> 1.5 × upper limit of normal [ULN]),
             aspartate aminotransferase (AST; > 3.0 × ULN), alanine aminotransferase (ALT; > 3.0 ×
             ULN), or alkaline phosphatase (> 2.5 × ULN) with 1 of the following present: ascites
             or clinically relevant portal hypertension or liver mast cell infiltration that is
             biopsy-proven or no other identified cause of abnormal liver function.

          -  ≥ Grade 2 hypoalbuminemia (< 3.0 g/dL).
