Conditions

Indolent Systemic Mastocytosis

Brief summary

This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study comparing the efficacy and safety of avapritinib + best supportive care (BSC) with placebo + BSC in patients with indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM) whose symptoms are not adequately controlled by BSC. The study will be conducted in 3 parts. All patients will receive treatment with avapritinib during Part 3 including those rolling over from the placebo group.

Intervention model description

In Part 1 of the study, patients will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 doses of avapritinib or to placebo + BSC. Once the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of avapritinib is identified in Part 1, patients in Part 2 will be randomly assigned to receive avapritinib at the RP2D + BSC or matching placebo + BSC. In Part 3, patients who have completed treatment in Part 1 or Part 2 of the study (including those initially randomized to placebo) may participate in a long-term open-label extension, receiving avapritinib at the RP2D + BSC.

Inclusion criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria: * 1\. Patient must have SM, confirmed by Central Pathology Review of BM biopsy, and central review of B- and C-findings by WHO diagnostic criteria. * 2\. Patient must have moderate-to-severe symptoms based on minimum mean total symptom score (TSS) of the ISM Symptom Assessment Form (ISM-SAF) over the 14-day eligibility screening period. * 3\. Patient must have failed to achieve adequate symptom control for 1 or more Baseline symptoms. * 4\. For patients receiving corticosteroids, the dose must be ≤ 20 mg/d prednisone or equivalent, and the dose must be stable for ≥ 14 days. * 5\. Patient must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0 to 2. Key

Exclusion criteria

* 1\. Patient has been diagnosed with any of the following WHO SM subclassifications: cutaneous mastocytosis only, smoldering SM, SM with associated hematologic neoplasm, aggressive SM, mast cell leukemia, or mast cell sarcoma. * 2\. Patient must not have received prior treatment with avapritinib. * 3\. Patient must not have had any cytoreductive therapy including but not limited to masitinib and midostaurin, or investigational agent for \< 14 days or 5 half-lives of the drug (whichever is longer), and for cladribine, interferon alpha, pegylated interferon, or antibody therapy \< 28 days or 5 half-lives of the drug (whichever is longer), before beginning the 14-day ISM-SAF eligibility TSS assessment. * 4\. Patient must not have received radiotherapy or psoralen and ultraviolet A (PUVA) therapy \< 14 days before beginning the 14-day ISM-SAF eligibility TSS assessment. * 5\. Patient must not have received any hematopoietic growth factor the preceding 14 days before beginning the 14-day ISM-SAF eligibility TSS assessment. * 6\. Patient must not have a QT interval corrected using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) of \> 480 msec.
