What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This is an open-label, single arm, Phase 2 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of avapritinib (BLU-285) in patients with advanced systemic mastocytosis (AdvSM), including patients with aggressive SM (ASM), SM with associated hematologic neoplasm (SM-AHN), and mast cell leukemia (MCL)

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for adults with advanced systemic mastocytosis, including aggressive forms and mast cell leukemia. Participants must have a serum tryptase level of at least 20 ng/mL and an ECOG performance status of 0-3. They should not have had recent cytoreductive therapy or certain other treatments, nor should they have severe kidney issues, seizure disorders, brain cancer, low platelet counts, a history of intracranial bleeding, abnormal heart rhythm or liver enzymes due to causes other than mastocytosis.

Inclusion Criteria

I have been diagnosed with a severe form of mastocytosis confirmed by a specialized committee.

Your blood test must show a level of tryptase higher than 20 ng/mL.

I can care for myself but may not be able to do active work.

Exclusion Criteria

My kidney function is significantly reduced.

I haven't taken any cancer-reducing drugs or experimental treatments within the last 14 days, or specific drugs like cladribine or antibody therapies within the last 28 days.

I have high eosinophil levels and a positive FIP1L1-PDGFRA test, or no prior imatinib treatment failure.
