Brief description of study

The purpose of this EAP is to provide bezuclastinib to patients with a diagnosis of Advanced Systemic Mastocytosis (AdvSM) or Nonadvanced Systemic Mastocytosis (NonAdvSM) who have received and failed or been intolerant to at least one standard approved therapy and/or have no comparable or satisfactory alternative therapy options. Both AdvSM and NonAdvSM happen when the body produces too many mast cells primarily due to a change in the KIT gene. Bezuclastinib, the investigational medicinal product offered in this EAP, is designed to work specifically against this change in the KIT gene and reduce the number of abnormal mast cells.

THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Consistent with most oncology trials, patients are not actively “recruited,” but are screened by their physician for appropriate clinical trial(s) at the time of their routine clinic visit. Occasionally, a patient may be a self-referral or physician referral, but are still screened for appropriate clinical trials at the time of their routine clinic visit. PI and staff may send copies of relevant consent forms to these patients to look over prior to actually consenting or enrolling them. This may take place at the patient's visit at which the consent is presented or the patient's next visit to the outpatient hematology/oncology clinic.

Detailed description of study

Bezuclastinib (100 mg [NonAdvSM] or 150 mg [AdvSM]) will be administered orally QD. Bezuclastinib should be taken at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal and with a full glass
of water. Tablets should not be broken, crushed, or dissolved.

Patients enrolled in this EAP will be monitored for safety and tolerability throughout the duration of the program.

Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: NonAdvanced Systemic Mastocytosis, Advanced Systemic Mastocytosis, Cancer
  • Age: 18 years - 100 years
  • Gender: All

Inclusion Criteria
1. Able to provide written informed consent.
2. Able and willing to commit to recommended EAP protocol assessments.
3. ≥18 years of age.

5. For women of childbearing potential, confirmation of a negative serum pregnancy test
prior to dosing and agreement to the use of a highly effective method of contraception
during the treatment period and for 6 weeks after the last dose of bezuclastinib. A barrier
contraception method is also required for women using hormonal contraceptives that are
CYP3A4 substrates (see Section 4.5.2 and 4.5.3).
6. For male patients able to father a child, agreement to use effective barrier contraception
(ie, condoms) during the treatment period and for 6 weeks after the last dose of
bezuclastinib.
7. Calculated eGFR ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73m2 .
8. Not receiving adequate disease control on current therapy(ies).
Disease-Related Criteria
NonAdvanced SM
9. Diagnosed with BMM, ISM, or SSM according to the 2022 WHO Classification for SM
based on local assessment.
10. Patients who have been previously treated with avapritinib and/or have no comparable or
satisfactory alternative therapy.
11. Have clinically acceptable laboratory screening results (clinical chemistry, hematology)
within certain limits specified below:
a. Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1000/μL
b. Platelets ≥ 100,000/μL

12. Diagnosed with ASM, SM-AHN, or MCL according to the 2022 WHO classification for
SM based on local assessment, including patients that have myeloid and non-myeloid
AHN (ie, lymphoid/plasma cell dyscrasias).
13. Patients who have been previously treated with avapritinib and/or midostaurin and/or
have no comparable or satisfactory alternative therapy.
14. Have clinically acceptable laboratory screening results (clinical chemistry, hematology)
within certain limits specified below:
a. Absolute neutrophil count > 500/μL
b. Platelet count ≥ 50,000/μL (prior to first dose)
c. AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 × ULN or ≤ 5 × ULN if there is liver involvement by AdvSM
d. Direct bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN; if related to AdvSM may be ≤ 3 × ULN
 

Exclusion Criteria
1. Patients who are eligible for and/or enrolled in an on-going bezuclastinib clinical trial.
2. Patients who discontinued investigational use of bezuclastinib in previous clinical trials
due to toxicity or withdrawal of consent.
3. Known hypersensitivity to bezuclastinib.
4. Pregnant or currently breastfeeding.
5. Prior or ongoing clinically significant illness or medical or physical condition (eg, cardiac
disease) that, in the opinion of the treating physician or Sponsor, could affect the safety
of the patient, or compromise participation in expanded access.
6. Received prior cytoreductive therapy or investigational agent within 7 days or
5 half--lives of the drug (whichever is longer) before starting bezuclastinib or are
receiving or will require additional antineoplastic therapy for an associated hematologic
neoplasm.
7. History of clinically significant bleeding event within 30 days before the first dose or
receiving anticoagulation for treatment of DVT or pulmonary embolism (patients
receiving prophylactic anticoagulation for nonvalvular atrial fibrillation or prevention of
DVT are allowed).
8. Received strong CYP3A4 inhibitors/inducers within 14 days or 5 drug half-lives before
the first dose, whichever is longer, or the need to continue treatment with strong CYP3A4
inhibitors or inducers during treatment with investigational bezuclastinib.
9. Persistent toxicity from previous therapy for SM (either NonAdvSM, AdvSM or AHN)
that has not resolved to ≤ Grade 1

This study investigates a condition called systemic mastocytosis, where the body produces too many mast cells due to a change in the KIT gene. This can be advanced (AdvSM) or non-advanced (NonAdvSM). The investigational medication offered in this study aims to target the KIT gene change to reduce abnormal mast cells.

Participants will take the investigational medication orally, either 100 mg for NonAdvSM or 150 mg for AdvSM, once daily. It should be taken with water, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. Participants will be monitored for safety and tolerability throughout the program.

  • Who can participate: Adults aged 18 years and older who are not receiving adequate control from current therapies and meet specific health criteria can participate. Women must use effective contraception and have a negative pregnancy test before joining.
  • Study details: Participants will take the investigational medication by mouth daily and will be monitored for safety. The medication should be taken with water and not altered in form.
