(EXPLORER) Study of BLU-285 in Patients With Advanced Systemic Mastocytosis (AdvSM) and Relapsed or Refractory Myeloid Malignancies
Study Details
Study Description
Brief 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, a dose-escalation part (Part 1) and an expansion part (Part 2).

- Morphologic response [≥ 12 weeks]
Including morphologic complete remission (mCR), morphologic CR with partial recovery of peripheral blood (mCRh), and morphologic partial remission (mPR) based on Pure Pathologic Response

Defined as change from Baseline
- Changes in patient reported quality of life using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C-30) [Part 2 only - Day 1 of Cycles 1-12]

mL
- Change in spleen volume by imaging [Day 1 of Cycles 5-18, and every 6 cycles thereafter (each cycle is 28 days)]

Eligibility Criteria
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:
-
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, 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.
-

-
A spleen that is palpable ≥ 5 cm below the left costal margin.
-

-
Absolute neutrophil count <500/μL
-
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >3 x the upper limit of normal (ULN); >5 × ULN if associated with clinically suspected liver infiltration by mastocytosis or another disease for which the patient enrolled into the study
-
Total bilirubin >1.5 × ULN; >3 × ULN if associated with liver infiltration by the disease being treated or in the presence of Gilbert's Disease (In the case of Gilbert's disease, a direct bilirubin > 2.0 ULN would be an exclusion.)
