Blueprint Medicines to Present New Data Reinforcing Clinical Leadership in Systemic Mastocytosis at 2022 ASH Annual Meeting
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Blueprint Medicines Corporation (NASDAQ: BPMC) today announced the acceptance of abstracts highlighting long-term clinical outcomes and impact on overall survival of AYVAKIT® (avapritinib) in patients with advanced systemic mastocytosis (SM), as well as real-world evidence characterizing the burden of SM, for presentation at the 2022 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting in December. These abstracts were submitted by the regular abstract deadline and posted online by ASH today.
Key highlights include an oral presentation on the PATHFINDER trial, which reinforces the transformative impact of AYVAKIT as a first-line treatment in advanced SM, and a poster presentation on the EXPLORER trial, which highlights survival benefits after nearly four years of patient follow-up in advanced SM. Additional data include U.S. claims-based analyses describing patterns of disease progression and the accumulation of severe symptoms over time in patients with non-advanced SM.
In addition, Blueprint Medicines has submitted a late-breaking abstract on registrational data from the PIONEER trial of AYVAKIT in patients with non-advanced SM for presentation at the ASH Annual Meeting. If accepted, the late-breaking abstract will be posted online by ASH on November 22, 2022.
The accepted abstracts are listed below and available on the ASH conference website: https://www.hematology.org/meetings/annual-meeting.
