Background summary
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are the most common mesenchymal tumors
occurring in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, representing approximately 0.1% -
3.0% of all GI malignancies. Approximately 90% of patients with GIST have a
tumor that is dependent on a mutation in either V-Kit Hardy-Zuckerman 4 Feline
Sarcoma Viral Oncogene Homolog (KIT) (75-80%) or the highly related protein
platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFR*) (10-15%), most commonly
a substitution of valine for aspartic acid at amino acid 842 (D842V). On a
molecular level, the most common sites for mutations in KIT at the time of
diagnosis are exon 11 (60-70%) and exon 9 (5-15%), though exon 17 mutations
were identified in approximately 1% of patients. Disease progression during
treatment with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) is associated with new
mutations in KIT, with an increasing prevalence of mutations in exon 17 to
approximately 95-99% following second-line TKI therapy.
No currently approved TKI selectively inhibits mutations in exon 17 of KIT or
at PDGFR* D842. Thus, GIST dependent on either of these mutations represents an
unmet medical need. Avapritinib has demonstrated potent and selective activity
against KIT exon 17 and PDGFR* D842 mutants in vitro and growth inhibition in
TKI-resistant models in vivo. Avapritinib has been shown to be tolerable at
active doses in toxicology and safety pharmacology studies. Given the poor
prognosis and potential risk/benefit of avapritinib for patients with advanced
GIST, further development of this agent is warranted.
Study objective
Primary Objective:
Part 1:
- To determine the MTD and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of avapritinib.
- To determine the safety and tolerability of avapritinib.
Part 2:
* To determine the overall response rate (ORR) by RECIST criteria at the
MTD/RP2D of avapritinib in patients with GIST who have a D842V
mutation in PDGFR*.
* To determine the ORR by RECIST criteria at the MTD/RP2D of avapritinib in
patients with GIST that has progressed following treatment with
imatinib and at least another kinase-inhibitor agent and who are not known to
have a D842V mutation in PDGFR*.
* To determine the safety and tolerability of avapritinib.
Secondary Objectives:
- To characterize the PK profile of avapritinib, and correlate drug exposure
with safety assessments, including changes in electrocardiogram (ECG) intervals.
- To assess preliminary evidence of antineoplastic activity of avapritinib as
measured by duration of response, progression free survival and clinical
benefit rate.
- To assess antitumor activity as measured by Choi Criteria.
- To compare PFD on avapritinib with PFD on last prior anti-cancer therapy.
- To assess mutations in KIT and PDGFR* and other cancer-relevant genes in
tumor tissue at baseline and at the end of treatment (EOT).
- To assess the KIT and PDGFR* mutant allele fractions measured in circulating
tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) at baseline, and changes in the mutant
allele fractions measured in ctDNA after treatment with avapritinib.
Exploratory Objectives:
- To assess additional measures of antitumor activity, including progression
free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
- To correlate baseline mutation status with response.
- To correlate changes in KIT and PDGFR* mutant allele fractions with antitumor
activity.
- To identify potential new blood and tumor biomarkers (deoxyribonucleic acid
[DNA], ribonucleic acid [RNA], protein) for pharmacodynamic (PD) effects,
antitumor activity, and safety of avapritinib.
Study design
This is a Phase 1, open-label, first-in-human (FIH) dose-escalation study
designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD and preliminary
antineoplastic activity of avapritinib (BLU-285), administered orally, in adult
patients with GIST or other relapsed and refractory solid tumors. The study
consists of 2 parts: dose-escalation (Part 1) and expansion (Part 2).
Intervention
Approximately 235 patients will be enrolled in this study, including:
- Approximately 50 patients in Part 1 (Dose Escalation)
- Approximately 185 patients in Part 2 (Expansion)
The total number of patients to be enrolled in Part 1 is dependent upon the
observed safety profile, which will determine the number of patients per dose
cohort, as well as the number of dose escalations required to achieve the MTD
Study burden and risks
The study overall has more frequent clinic visits (e.g. PK sampling) and more
comprehensive monitoring compared with normal clinical practice.
Possible side effects and other undesirable effects
- Blood sampling: painful or may cause some bruising
- Biospy: Pain, bleeding, infection
- CT or MRI-scan: exposure to radiation (3.6 mSv radiation based on 3 cycles).
- ECG and Holter Monitoring: discomfort such as redness or itching
- Adverse Events of the study medication
