Avapritinib, sold under the brand name Ayvakit, is a medication used to treat systemic mastocytosis and gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).[2] In GIST it is used for cases with a platelet-derived growth factor receptor A (PDGFRA) exon 18 mutation.[2] It is taken by mouth.[2]

Common side effects nausea, tiredness, low red blood cells, swelling, high bilirubin, diarrhea, and forgetfulness.[1] Other side effects may include pleural effusion and intracranial bleeding.[2][1] Use in pregnancy may harm the baby.[2] It is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that blocks the activity of PDGFRA.[1]

Avapritinib was approved for medical use in the United States and Europe in 2020.[2][1] In the United Kingdom a month costs the NHS about £26,700 as of 2021.[3] This amount in the United States costs about 34,200 USD.[4]

Medical uses

Avapritinib is indicated for the treatment of adults with unresectable or metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) harboring the platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) exon 18 mutation, including PDGFRA D842V mutations.[2][1]

Avapritinib is also indicated for the treatment of adults with advanced systemic mastocytosis, aggressive systemic mastocytosis, systemic mastocytosis with an associated hematological neoplasm, and mast cell leukemia (MCL).[5]

Dosage

It is taken at a dose of 200 to 300 mg per day.[2]

History

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved avapritinib in January 2020.[6][7][8] The application for avapritinib was granted fast track designation, breakthrough therapy designation, and orphan drug designation.[6] The FDA granted approval of Ayvakit to Blueprint Medicines Corporation.[6]

Avapritinib was approved based on the results from the Phase I NAVIGATOR[9][10] clinical trial involving 43 subjects with GIST harboring a PDGFRA exon 18 mutation, including 38 subjects with PDGFRA D842V mutation.[6] Subjects received avapritinib 300 mg or 400 mg orally once daily until disease progression or they experienced unacceptable toxicity.[6] The recommended dose was determined to be 300 mg once daily.[6] The trial measured how many subjects experienced complete or partial shrinkage (by a certain amount) of their tumors during treatment (overall response rate).[6] For subjects harboring a PDGFRA exon 18 mutation, the overall response rate was 84%, with 7% having a complete response and 77% having a partial response.[6] For the subgroup of subjects with PDGFRA D842V mutations, the overall response rate was 89%, with 8% having a complete response and 82% having a partial response.[6] While the median duration of response was not reached, 61% of the responding subjects with exon 18 mutations had a response lasting six months or longer (31% of subjects with an ongoing response were followed for less than six months).[6]

The FDA approved avapritinib based on evidence from one clinical trial (NCT02508532) of 204 subjects with GIST.[7] The trial was conducted at 17 sites in the United States, Europe and Asia.[7]

Avapritinib showed a median PFS of 4.2 months compared to 5.6 months for regorafenib. The difference in median PFS between the avapritinib and regorafenib groups was not statistically significant. The overall response rate was 17 percent for the avapritinib group and 7 percent for the regorafenib group. The VOYAGER trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of avapritinib (N=240) versus regorafenib (N=236) in patients with third- or fourth-line GIST.[11]

Avapritinib was approved for medical use in the European Union in September 2020.[1]

Ayvakit was granted approval for advanced systemic mastocytosis by the FDA on June 16th 2021. [12]
