The European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has recommended expanding the use of Blueprint Medicines Corporation's (NASDAQ:BPMC) Ayvakyt (avapritinib).

  • The positive opinion covers Ayvakyt as monotherapy for aggressive systemic mastocytosis (ASM), systemic mastocytosis with an associated hematological neoplasm (SM-AHN), or mast cell leukemia (MCL) after at least one systemic therapy.
  • A final decision on the application to expand the indication for Ayvakyt is anticipated by early April 2022.

  • The CHMP based its opinion on results from the Phase 1 EXPLORER trial and Phase 2 PATHFINDER trial. 
  • Ayvakyt showed durable clinical efficacy in advanced SM patients across disease subtypes and a generally well-tolerated safety profile. 
  • These two studies enrolled approximately 150 patients with up to four years of follow-up.
  • Price Action: BPMC shares are down 1.36% at $69.16 during the market session on the last check Friday.
