Efficacy and safety of avapritinib in advanced systemic mastocytosis: 4-year follow-up of the PATHFINDER study [PDF]
: Advanced systemic mastocytosis (AdvSM), a clonal hematologic neoplasm driven predominantly by D816V-mutant KIT, is often characterized by organ damage. Associated hematologic neoplasms (AHNs; usually myeloid) are often present, leading to poor survival.

Avapritinib reduces symptoms and mast cell burden in systemic mastocytosis [PDF]
Background Mastocytosis is driven by a clonal expansion of mast cells, commonly triggered by the KIT D816V mutation which is present in over 90% of adult patients.

Negative outcomes associated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors during management of gastrointestinal stromal tumors: examination of data from the FDA adverse event reporting system [PDF]
BackgroundSince the approval of Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), the survival of patients with metastatic GISTs have been remarkably improved. But clinically, the adverse effects (AEs) are the major barrier to
