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

United States, United Kingdom86 participantsStarted 2016-03-10

Plain-language summary

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:, dose-escalation (Part 1) and expansion (Part 2).

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: * ASM. * SM-AHN. The AHN must be myeloid, with the following exceptions that are excluded: AML, MDS that is very high- or high-risk as defined by the IPSS-R, and Philadelphia chromosome positive malignancies. * MCL. For Part 2,…

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
