avapritinib · 8 trials · 16 indications
To demonstrate the efficacy of avapritinib based on progression-free survival (PFS) determined by central radiological assessment per modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST), version 1.1 in patients with advanced GIST following 2 or 3 regimens of prior treatment with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), including imatinib, compared to patients treated with regorafenib. A progressively growing tumor must meet the following criteria: a) the target lesions must be greater or equal to 2cm in size and be a new GIST active lesion or b) the target lesions must be expanding on at least 2 sequential imaging studies.
0 - 110 points (higher value represents worse symptom outcomes)
ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with a confirmed best response of complete remission (CR), complete remission with partial recovery of peripheral blood counts (CRh), partial remission (PR), or clinical improvement (CI) by mIWG-MRT-ECNM criteria. The mIWG-MRT-ECNM criteria were based on findings from bone marrow biopsy and aspirate, and peripheral blood smear; bone marrow cytogenetics; other extracutaneous tissue biopsies (when available); liver and spleen imaging; and other clinical and laboratory parameters.
Recommended phase 2 dose which will be determined by evaluating all safety and efficacy data.
Patients with event(s) of dose-limiting toxicity
The overall safety profile of the drug was assessed by reviewing the number of patients with AEs, SAEs and other events. There was no formal statistical analysis. Safety assessments continued for the duration of treatment.
To evaluate objective response rate (ORR) determined by central radiology assessment per mRECIST, version 1.1 in patients with advanced GIST treated with avapritinib. A complete response per modified Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) is defined as complete disappearance of all target lesions. A partial response is defined as at least 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters. Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR

| Dose Escalation | EXPERIMENTAL | Participants will be enrolled in cohorts of size 1-3. Participants will take a combination of Avapritinib and Decitabine. Decitabine will be administered in one of the following forms: I) Decitabine: starting IV dose of 20 mg/m2 on days 1-5 of a 28-day treatment cycle. II) Decitabine/Cedazuridine: starting dose of 35mg/100 mg oral tablet on days 1-5 of a 28-day treatment cycle. The starting dose of Avapritinib for the first cohort of patients will begin at dose level 1 with dose modifications to be made according to a Bayesian design. Avapritnib Dose levels Level -1: 50mg Level 1: 100mg Level 2: 150mg Level 3: 200mg |
| Dose Expansion | EXPERIMENTAL | Participants with baseline platelet count (cycle 1, day 1) ≥ 75 x 10\^9/L will begin the combination of Avapritinib at the dose determined by the dose-finding portion of the study and decitabine or Decitabine/Cedazuridine will be initiated during the first cycle. Participants with a baseline platelet count between 25 x 10\^9/L and 74 x 10\^9/L will receive decitabine or Decitabine/Cedazuridine (choice of investigator) as a single-agent for at least the first two cycles. Starting with cycle 3 and continuing with each subsequent cycle, patients will be eligible to receive Avapritinib in combination with decitabine or Decitabine/Cedazuridine if the platelet count on day 1 of the cycle is ≥ 75 x 10\^9. If the platelet count is \< 75 x 10\^9/L on day 1 of the cycle, patient will receive single-agent Decitabine or Decitabine/Cedazuridine. In the absence of clear disease progression, patients will be treated for at least 6 cycles before being judged to have not responded. |
