Jan 13th, 2023 - This is a Phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and antineoplastic activity of avapritinib (also known as BLU-285), administered orally (PO), in adult...

Jan 11th, 2023 - This is a multi-part, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical study comparing the safety and efficacy of CGT9486 plus best supportive care (BSC) with placebo plus BSC in patients with nonadvanced systemic mastocytosis (NonAdv...

Jan 24th, 2023 - Systemic mastocytosis is widely underdiagnosed, and many more hematologic oncologists should be looking for it. This call to action was issued late in 2022 by Stanford (Calif.

Jan 3rd, 2023 - Hereditary alpha tryptasemia (HaT), an autosomal-dominant disorder of tryptase overproduction, was first described in 2014 by Lyons et al. 1 It has been associated with multiple dermatologic, allergic, gastrointestinal (GI) tract, neuropsychiatric,.
