About this study
In plain language
This Phase 2 study tests bezuclastinib (CGT9486) for advanced systemic mastocytosis, a disease involving mast cells, a type of immune cell. It includes people with aggressive disease, a related blood cancer, or mast cell leukemia. Everyone knows which treatment they receive.
This is an open-label, two-part Phase 2 study investigating CGT9486 for the treatment of patients with Advanced Systemic Mastocytosis (AdvSM), including patients with Aggressive SM (ASM), SM with Associated Hematologic Neoplasm (SM-AHN), and Mast Cell Leukemia (MCL).
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Main study: A study committee must confirm aggressive systemic mastocytosis, systemic mastocytosis with a related blood cancer, or mast cell leukemia.
- Main study: Disease must be measurable using study rules. Some people whose disease cannot be measured this way may also join.
- Main study: Have a daily activity score of 0 to 3. This ranges from fully active to needing help with self-care and spending much of the day in bed or a chair.
- All groups: Blood counts and other blood tests must be within the study’s allowed limits.
- Rollover group: Bezuclastinib has helped you, but your related blood cancer has worsened during treatment and needs treatment right away.
- High-risk group: Be receiving or need treatment for a related blood cancer. You must have one of the listed high-risk blood cancers: high- or very high-risk MDS, accelerated-phase MPN, MDS with too many immature blood cells, or CMML-2.
Who can't join
- Main study: Lasting side effects from past treatment that are more than mild, a related blood cancer needing treatment right away, or serious heart disease.
- Main study: A positive test for the FIP1L1-PDGFRA gene change, HIV-1 or HIV-2, hepatitis B surface antigen, or hepatitis C antibodies. Some people with high eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, need extra gene testing.
- Main study: Serious bleeding in the past 30 days, a need for blood thinners to treat clots during the study, or another cancer diagnosed or treated in the past 3 years.
- Main study: Recent use of treatments that lower blood cell counts, experimental drugs, blood cell growth medicines, or certain drugs that affect how the body breaks down medicines. Required waiting times vary by drug. Needing high-dose steroids also rules you out.
- Substudy: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a cancer with the Philadelphia chromosome gene change, or being suited for a stem cell transplant from a donor.
- Substudy: A medical reason you cannot safely take the chosen treatment given with bezuclastinib. Rollover group: Past bezuclastinib side effects were not acceptable under study rules.
- High-risk group: Past experimental treatment for advanced systemic mastocytosis, or stopping a treatment that lowers blood cell counts because of side effects.
- High-risk group: Treatment that lowers blood cell counts or an experimental drug within 14 days before the bone marrow sample used for screening. The wait is 28 days for cladribine, interferon alpha, pegylated interferon, or antibody treatment.
