Background

Avapritinib, or BLU-285,1 is a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor of KIT and platelet derived growth factor receptor alpha indicated for the treatment of unresectable, metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors and advanced systemic mastocytosis.2,4 It is one of the first medications available for the treatment of multidrug resistant cancers.1 Avapritinib shares a similar mechanism with ripretinib.

Avapritinib was granted FDA approval on 9 January 2020 4 and EMA approval on 24 September 2020.3

Pharmacology

Indication

Avapritinib is indicated for the treatment of adults with unresectable or metastatic GIST harboring a platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) exon 18 mutation, including PDGFRA D842V mutations.4,5

It is also used to treat adult patients with advanced systemic mastocytosis (AdvSM). AdvSM includes patients with aggressive systemic mastocytosis (ASM), systemic mastocytosis with an associated hematological neoplasm (SM-AHN), and mast cell leukemia. However, it is not recommended for the treatment of patients with AdvSM with platelet counts of less than 50 X 109 L.4,5

Pharmacodynamics

Avapritinib is a selective kinase inhibitor that negatively modulates the action of cell transporters to resensitize them to other chemotherapies.4 It has a long duration of action as it is given once daily.4 Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of intracranial hemorrhage, CNS effects, and embryo-fetal toxicity.4

Mechanism of action

Avapritinib has a negative modulating effect on the transporters ABCB1 and ABCG2, which mediate the multidrug resistance phenotype of some cancers.1 This modulation may be due to interactions of avapritinib with the drug binding pocket of these transporters.1 Negative modulation of these transporters, resensitizes cancerous cells to treatment with chemotherapeutic agents like paclitaxel.1

Absorption

A 300mg oral dose of avapritinib reaches a Cmax of 813ng/mL with a Tmax of 2.0-4.1h and an AUC of 15400h*ng/mL.4

Volume of distribution

The mean apparent volume of distribution is 1200L.4

Protein binding

Avapritinib is 98.8% protein bound in serum.4

Metabolism

Avapritinib is metabolized mainly by CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 in vitro.4 A 310mg oral dose is recovered as 49% unchanged drug, 35% hydroxy glucuronide metabolite, and 14% oxidatively deaminated metabolite.4

Route of elimination

Avapritinib is 70% eliminated in the feces with 11% as the unchanged drug and 18% eliminated in the urine with 0.23% as the unchanged drug.4

Half-life

The half life of avapritinib is 32-57h.4

Clearance

The mean apparent oral clearance of avapritinib is 19.5L/h.4

Interactions

Drug Interactions
This information should not be interpreted without the help of a healthcare provider. If you believe you are experiencing an interaction, contact a healthcare provider immediately. The absence of an interaction does not necessarily mean no interactions exist.
DrugInteraction
AbametapirThe serum concentration of Avapritinib can be increased when it is combined with Abametapir.
AbataceptThe metabolism of Avapritinib can be increased when combined with Abatacept.
AbrocitinibThe metabolism of Abrocitinib can be decreased when combined with Avapritinib.
AcenocoumarolThe metabolism of Acenocoumarol can be decreased when combined with Avapritinib.
AcetaminophenThe serum concentration of Acetaminophen can be increased when it is combined with Avapritinib.
Food Interactions
  • Avoid grapefruit products. Grapefruit inhibits CYP3A metabolism, which may increase the serum concentration of avapritinib.
  • Avoid St. John's Wort. This herb induces CYP3A metabolism and may reduce serum levels of avapritinib.
  • Take on an empty stomach. Take more than 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.
