Brief summary

This study will assess pexidartinib in adult participants with symptomatic TGCT that is associated with severe morbidity or functional limitations and not amendable to improvement with surgery.

Detailed description

Participants with symptomatic TGCT will be administered pexidartinib 400 mg twice daily continuously with 28-day treatment cycle until criteria for discontinuation are reached. Participants who complete primary endpoint assessments may be eligible to continue receiving pexidartinib until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, the occurrence of other termination criteria, or withdrawal from the study. Eligible participants' status will be collected every 6 months as a long term follow-up at least 2 years.

Interventions

400 mg twice daily for a total daily dose of 800 mg (each capsule contains 200 mg of pexidartinib for oral administration)

Inclusion criteria

* Age ≥ 18 years (Age ≥ 20 years in Taiwan). * A diagnosis of TGCT (i) that has been histologically confirmed by a pathologist and (ii) associated with severe morbidity or functional limitations and not amenable to improvement with surgery determined consensually by qualified personnel (eg, 2 surgeons or a multi-disciplinary tumor board). * Measurable disease as defined by RECIST 1.1 (except that a minimal size of 2 cm is required), assessed from MRI scan by a central radiologist. * Stable prescription of analgesic regimen during the 2 weeks prior to enrollment. * Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within the 14-day period prior to enrollment (Where demanded by local regulations, this test may be required within 72 hours of enrollment). * Females of reproductive potential should be advised to use an effective, non-hormonal method of contraception during treatment with pexidartinib and for 1 month after the last dose. Males with female partners of reproductive potential should be advised to use an effective method of contraception during treatment with pexidartinib and for 1 month after the last dose.

Complete response (CR), disappearance of all target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level; partial response (PR), at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters; and overall response rate (ORR), defined as CR+PR, are presented.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Mean Percent Change From Baseline for Range of Motion (ROM) Score in Participants Receiving PexidartinibAt Week 25 postdoseRange of motion (ROM) of the joint was assessed by a qualified, independent, and blinded or third-party assessors at the clinical site. The relative ROM was calculated (expressed in percent) as follows: Relative ROM = 100 x (absolute ROM measured)/(reference ROM standard). The change from baseline in relative ROM at Week 25 was calculated as the difference in relative ROM at Week 25 visit minus relative ROM at Screening visit.
Mean Change From Baseline in the Patient-reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function Score in Participants Receiving PexidartinibAt Week 25 postdoseThe Patient-reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) physical function scale was used to assess the physical function of the upper and lower limbs. The scale ranges from 1 defined as 'unable to do' or 'cannot do' to 5 defined as 'without any difficulty' or 'not at all', where higher scores represent better outcomes.

Tumor categories for RECIST v1.1 were as follows: complete response (CR), disappearance of all target lesions; partial response (PR), at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions; stable disease (SD), neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease; progressive disease (PD), at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions; and not evaluable (NE). Tumor categories for TVS were as follows: complete response (CR), disappearance of all target lesions; partial response (PR), at least a 50% decrease in volume score relative to baseline; stable disease (SD), does not meet any of the prior criteria based on score during study; progressive disease (PD), at least a 30% increase in in volume relative to lowest score during the study whether at baseline or some other visit; and not evaluable (NE).

Overall Response Rate (ORR) of Pexidartinib Based on TVS of Asian Participants With Symptomatic Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor (TGCT) at Week 25At Week 25 postdoseFor the assessment of tumor response, participants were classified into the best of the following tumor response categories based on Tumor Volume Score (TVS) by centrally reviewed MRI scan. Tumor Volume Score (TVS) is a semi-quantitative MRI scoring system that describes tumor mass and is based on 10% increments of the estimated volume of the maximally distended synovial cavity or tendon sheath involved. A tumor that is equal in volume to that of a maximally distended synovial cavity or tendon sheath was scored 10; a score of 0 indicated no evidence of tumor. Complete response (CR), disappearance of lesion; partial response (PR), at least 50% decrease in volume score relative to baseline; overall response rate (ORR), defined as CR+PR, are presented.
