Efficacy and safety of avapritinib in previously treated patients with advanced systemic mastocytosis.

ABSTRACT: Advanced systemic mastocytosis (AdvSM) is a rare myeloid neoplasm, driven by the KIT D816V mutation in >90% of patients. Avapritinib, a potent, highly selective D816V-mutant KIT inhibitor, is approved for treatment of adults with AdvSM by the US Food and Drug Administration, regardless of prior therapy, and the European Medicines Agency for patients with prior systemic therapy, based on EXPLORER (#NCT02561988; clinicaltrials.gov) and PATHFINDER (#NCT03580655; clinicaltrials.gov) clinical studies. We present latest pooled efficacy and safety analyses from patients who received ≥1 systemic therapy prior to avapritinib in EXPLORER/PATHFINDER. Overall response rate in response-evaluable patients (n = 31) was 71% (95% confidence interval: 52% to 86%; 22/31), including 19% (6/31) with complet
