Blueprint Medicines Announces Part 1 Results from PIONEER Trial Showing Broad Activity of Avapritinib Across Measures of Mast Cell Burden,  Clinical Outcomes and Quality of Life in Indolent Systemic Mastocytosis

 

-- Avapritinib showed  a statistically significant improvement in patient-reported

outcomes, the primary measure of clinical benefit in PIONEER --

 

-- Avapritinib was well-tolerated across all three doses;  no patient discontinuations due to AEs --

 

-- 25 mg QD selected as recommended Part 2 dose, based on consistent and clinically important improvements across multiple measures of efficacy and a well-tolerated safety profile --

 

-- Blueprint Medicines to host investor conference call and webcast today at 7:30 a.m. ET --

 

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 16, 2020 – Blueprint Medicines Corporation (NASDAQ: BPMC), a precision therapy company focused on genomically defined cancers, rare diseases and cancer immunotherapy, today announced updated results from the Phase 2 PIONEER trial of avapritinib in patients with indolent systemic mastocytosis (SM) showing significant clinical improvements versus placebo. In Part 1 of the PIONEER trial, patients treated with avapritinib showed a statistically significant mean decline of approximately 30 percent in total symptom score (TSS) at 16 weeks, as measured by the Indolent SM Symptom Assessment Form (ISM-SAF), and reductions in symptom scores have deepened over time. In addition, patients treated with avapritinib achieved consistent improvements across objective measures of mast cell burden and patient-reported quality of life. Avapritinib was well-tolerated with no patients discontinuing treatment due to adverse events (AEs).  Based on the full Part 1 data, 25 mg once daily (QD) has been selected as the recommended Part 2 dose (RP2D). Results from this data presentation will be available on an American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) virtual forum, which was established following the cancellation of the 2020 AAAAI Annual Meeting: https://education.aaaai.org/annual-meeting-abstracts/. 

 

SM is a rare disease driven by the KIT D816V mutation and characterized by uncontrolled mast cell proliferation and activation. The disorder can lead to debilitating symptoms and life-threatening complications. Avapritinib is a potent and highly selective inhibitor of D816V mutant KIT.  

 

“Indolent SM causes devastating symptoms that wreak havoc on patients’ lives, often involves a high polypharmacy burden, and may result in frequent urgent care visits and hospitalizations,” said Cem Akin, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Medicine at the University of Michigan and an investigator on the PIONEER trial. “These data show the promise of avapritinib to offer sustained, clinically meaningful improvements across multiple measures of disease, including quality of life and reductions in mast cell burden, and a well-tolerated safety profile. Avapritinib has the potential to advance treatment beyond symptomatic therapies and fundamentally change the way we manage this debilitating disease.”

 

“Avapritinib was specifically designed to inhibit D816V mutant KIT, with the goal of delivering transformative benefit to patients,” said Andy Boral, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer at Blueprint Medicines. “In indolent SM, these placebo-controlled data are the first to show consistent clinical activity across multiple measures of disease, from mast cell burden to clinical outcomes and quality of life. The results continue to build our confidence that by potently targeting the underlying cause of the disorder, we are enabling profound benefits across the spectrum of SM.”

 

Blueprint Medicines plans to initiate patient screening for the registration-enabling Part 2 of the PIONEER trial in June 2020. Part 2 is designed to evaluate the efficacy of avapritinib at the RP2D versus placebo. Blueprint Medicines anticipates completing enrollment in Part 2 of the PIONEER trial by the end of 2020. 

 

Highlights from the Part 1 PIONEER Trial Data in Indolent SM

 

Part 1 of the PIONEER trial was designed to determine the RP2D by evaluating three doses of avapritinib (25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg QD) versus placebo. Key eligibility criteria include adults with indolent SM confirmed by central pathology review and moderate-to-severe symptom burden despite best supportive care medicines. Overall, 39 patients were enrolled in Part 1 across four concurrent cohorts,  consisting of 10 patients each in the avapritinib dose cohorts and nine patients in the placebo cohort. 

 

Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) data were collected using the ISM-SAF, which was designed with input from disease experts, patients and regulatory authorities to support registration.  All results are as of a data cutoff date of December 27, 2019.

 

Baseline Patient Characteristics

 

Patients had high symptom burden at baseline, with a mean ISM-SAF TSS of 53 on a scale of 0 to 110. Eight patients (21 percent) had an  Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status of 2, reflecting the inability to carry out any work activities. Patients received a median of four best supportive care medicines at baseline (range: 2-9). Median serum tryptase was 45 micrograms per liter (the upper limit of normal is 11.4 micrograms per liter).  A high sensitivity polymerase chain reaction assay on peripheral blood detected the KIT D816V mutation in 37 patients (95 percent).  

 

Clinical Activity 

 

Avapritinib showed broad activity across measures of mast cell burden, the PRO clinical benefit measure and quality of life. The consistency of results observed across multiple measures of disease burden support the further evaluation of avapritinib in indolent SM. At 16 weeks, patients had a statistically significant reduction in ISM-SAF TSS, with a mean improvement of approximately 30 percent across all avapritinib dose cohorts compared to approximately 3 percent in the placebo cohort (p=0.001). As of the data cutoff date, 37 patients (95 percent) have remained on study with a median follow-up of 18 weeks.

 

Results from the 25 mg QD dose cohort show important clinical activity, including meaningful declines in serum tryptase, bone marrow mast cells and KIT D816V allele burden. Treatment with avapritinib led to consistent reductions in the ISM-SAF TSS, gastrointestinal domain, skin domain and each individual symptom. Symptom improvements in patients treated at 25 mg QD continued to deepen over time.

Data from the Mastocytosis Quality of Life (MC-QoL) questionnaire, a  PRO tool developed for mast cell disorders, show improvements in quality of life for patients receiving avapritinib and support the results observed with the ISM-SAF.  Patients in the 25 mg QD dose cohort had a mean reduction of 34 percent in the total MC-QoL score and improvements in all four domains assessed (symptoms, social life functioning, emotions and skin).  A  7 percent increase from baseline was observed in the placebo cohort.  

 

Safety

The safety profile of avapritinib supports chronic dosing in indolent SM. All doses of avapritinib were well-tolerated and no patients discontinued treatment due to AEs. No patients treated with avapritinib in the 25 mg QD dose cohort had serious AEs, Grade 3 or higher AEs, or dose modifications. In the placebo cohort, two patients (22 percent) had Grade 3 AEs, one with seizure and one with diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis; these events also met criteria for serious AEs.

About SM

 

SM is a rare disease driven by the KIT D816V mutation. Uncontrolled proliferation and activation of mast cells result in chronic, severe and often unpredictable symptoms for patients across the spectrum of SM.  The vast majority of those affected have non-advanced (indolent or smoldering) SM, with debilitating symptoms that lead to a profound,  negative impact on quality of life. A minority of patients have advanced SM, which encompasses a group of high-risk SM subtypes including aggressive SM, SM with an associated hematologic neoplasm and mast cell leukemia. In addition to mast cell activation symptoms, advanced SM is associated with organ damage due to mast cell infiltration and poor overall survival.

 

Debilitating symptoms associated with SM, including anaphylaxis, maculopapular rash, pruritis, brain fog, fatigue and bone pain, often persist despite treatment with a number of symptomatic therapies.  Patients often live in fear of attacks, have limited ability to work or perform daily activities, or isolate themselves to protect against unpredictable triggers. Currently, there are no approved therapies that selectively inhibit D816V mutant KIT. 

 

About AYVAKIT™ (avapritinib)

 

AYVAKIT™ (avapritinib) is a kinase inhibitor approved by the FDA for the treatment of adults with unresectable or metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) harboring a PDGFRA exon 18 mutation, including PDGFRA D842V mutations. For more information, visit AYVAKIT.com. 

 

Avapritinib is not approved for the treatment of any other indication, including SM, in the U.S. or any other jurisdiction by the FDA or any other health authority.

 

About the Clinical Development Program for Avapritinib

 

Avapritinib is an oral precision therapy that selectively and potently inhibits KIT and PDGFRA mutant kinases. Blueprint Medicines is pursuing a broad clinical development program for avapritinib for advanced, smoldering and indolent SM, as well as across multiple lines of GIST treatment.

 

Avapritinib is uniquely designed to selectively bind and inhibit D816V mutant KIT, the common driver of disease in approximately 95 percent of all SM patients. Preclinical studies have shown avapritinib potently inhibited KIT D816V at sub-nanomolar potencies with minimal off-target activity. In addition, avapritinib has demonstrated broad inhibition of KIT and PDGFRA mutations associated with GIST, including potent activity against activation loop mutations that are associated with resistance to currently approved therapies.

 

The FDA has granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to avapritinib for two indications: one for the treatment of advanced SM, including the subtypes of aggressive SM, SM with an associated hematologic neoplasm and mast cell leukemia, and one for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic GIST harboring the PDGFRA D842V mutation.
