Avapritinib for the Treatment of CKIT or PDGFRA Mutation-Positive Locally Advanced or Metastatic Malignant Solid Tumors

Phase 2 Study of Avapritinib in Patients With CKIT or PDGFRA Mutation-Positive Malignant Solid Tumors


Sponsor

M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Enrollment

50 participants

Start Date

Jan 20, 2021

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

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.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests avapritinib — a targeted drug — in people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that carry specific genetic mutations in genes called CKIT or PDGFRA. These mutations are found in various cancers including melanoma, breast cancer, lung cancer, and others. Participants may be 12 years or older. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 12 years or older - You have a locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor with a CKIT or PDGFRA gene mutation - You have already received appropriate standard treatments that didn't work or aren't available - You are in reasonably good health overall **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your cancer does not have a CKIT or PDGFRA mutation - You have not yet tried available standard therapies - You have significant heart, liver, or kidney problems Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
