Phase 2 Study of Avapritinib in Patients With CKIT or PDGFRA Mutation-Positive Malignant Solid Tumors
Phase 2 Study of Avapritinib in Patients With CKIT or PDGFRA Mutation-Positive Malignant Solid Tumors
This phase II trial studies the effect of avapritinib in treating malignant solid tumors that have a genetic change (mutation) in CKIT or PDGFRA and have spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or other places in the body (metastatic). Avapritinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Avapritinib may help to control the growth of malignant solid tumors.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the objective response rate (ORR) of avapritinib in patients with pathogenic CKIT or PDGFRA activating mutation-positive malignant solid tumors, as assessed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 or RANO criteria (as appropriate).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the duration of response (DoR) to avapritinib in patients with pathogenic CKIT or PDGFRA activating mutation-positive malignant solid tumors.
II. To evaluate the disease control rate (DCR) of avapritinib in patients with pathogenic CKIT or PDGFRA activating mutation-positive malignant solid tumors.
III. To determine the safety and tolerability of avapritinib in patients with pathogenic CKIT or PDGFRA activating mutation-positive malignant solid tumors, as assessed by the National Cancer institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v5.0.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the overall survival (OS) of patients with pathogenic CKIT or PDGFRA activating mutation-positive malignant solid tumors receiving avapritinib.
II. To evaluate the ORR and DoR of avapritinib in patients with measurable brain or central nervous system (CNS) metastases at baseline.
III. To evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with pathogenic CKIT or PDGFRA activating mutation-positive malignant solid tumors receiving avapritinib.
IV. To evaluate the correlation between genomic mutations and clinical outcome. V. To evaluate time on treatment (including patients treated beyond progression).
VI. To evaluate baseline genomics and circulating cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (cfDNA) and functional analyses of variants.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive avapritinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 8 weeks.
Inclusion Criteria:
The patient (or legally acceptable representative if applicable) provides written informed consent for the study.
Male or female ≥18 years of age on the day of informed consent signing. Adolescent patients aged 12 years and older are allowed with signed assent and parental consent according to institutional guidelines and requirements.
Cohorts 1 and 2: Patient has a locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor and has progressed on appropriate standard therapy, has not shown clinically meaningful benefit to appropriate standard therapy, has no available standard therapy, or has declined appropriate standard therapy.
• NOTE: Specific solid tumor types include but are not limited to melanoma, breast cancer, lung cancer, gastroesophageal cancer, colorectal cancer, sarcoma, solid tumors NOS, and primary CNS tumors. Patients with any other recurrent solid tumor type with the exception of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) will be eligible.
Cohort 3: Patient has newly diagnosed IDH wild-type, MGMT-unmethylated glioblastoma. Patients must have received prior treatment with radiation and concurrent temozolomide per standard of care.27 Patients must have completed radiation and concurrent temozolomide 3-8 weeks prior to study treatment initiation.
Measurable disease per the RECIST v1.1 or RANO criteria, as appropriate, for Cohorts 1 and 2. Patients in Cohort 3 can have measurable or non-measurable disease per the RANO criteria.
6 Documented pathogenic CKIT activating mutation (Cohort 1) OR pathogenic PDGFRA activating mutation (Cohort 2) based on Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments-certified next-generation sequencing diagnostic test. Cohort 3 should have pathogenic CKIT or PDGFRA activating mutation/amplification based on CLIA-certified NGS diagnostic test. CKIT and PDGFRA mutation pathogenicity will be verified by the MD Anderson Cancer Center's Precision Oncology Decision Support team. Acceptable CKIT/PDGFRA mutations for study eligibility are listed in Appendix E.
7. Has available archival tissue for CKIT/PDGFRA mutation (amplification [Cohort 3 only]) retrospective testing.

White blood cell count >2,500/µL and <15,000/µL
Absolute neutrophil count ≥1.5 × 109/L (without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor support within 2 weeks of laboratory test used to determine eligibility)
Platelet count ≥75 × 109/L (without transfusion within 2 weeks of laboratory test used to determine eligibility)
Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL (without blood transfusion within 7 days of laboratory test used to determine eligibility)
Total bilirubin ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN); if hepatic metastases are present, ≤3.0 × ULN
Aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase ≤2.5 × ULN; if hepatic metastases are present, ≤5.0 × ULN
Serum creatinine ≤2.0 × ULN or creatinine clearance ≥45 mL/min. 9. Cardiac ejection fraction >45% per screening echocardiogram or multigated acquisition scan.

Females must be postmenopausal (defined as ≥45 years of age with at least 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea) or premenopausal with documented surgical sterilization (tubal ligation, hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy), or evidence of non-childbearing status for women of childbearing potential (negative serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin pregnancy test) within 3 days of study treatment initiation.
15. Females of childbearing potential must either abstain from heterosexual intercourse or use a highly effective method of contraception for the course of the study and for 6 weeks after the last dose of study treatment.
16. Males with female partners of reproductive potential must either abstain from sexual intercourse or they and their partners must use a highly effective method of contraception when engaging in sexual intercourse for the course of the study through 30 days after the last dose of study treatment.
