New pill aims to tame rare mast cell disease
NCT ID NCT04910685
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests an experimental drug called elenestinib (BLU-263) in people with indolent systemic mastocytosis, a rare condition where too many mast cells cause symptoms like flushing, itching, and stomach issues. About 534 participants will receive either the drug or a placebo, plus standard symptom treatments. The goal is to see if elenestinib can better control symptoms that aren't helped by current therapies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Elenestinib (also called BLU-263), an oral tablet
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with indolent systemic mastocytosis whose symptoms are not controlled by current therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-to-mid-stage trial, so results are uncertain. The drug may cause side effects or fail to improve symptoms better than placebo.

Key Inclusion Criteria: All Participants: -Participant must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) of 0 to 2. Part 1 and PK groups: * Participant has confirmed diagnosis of ISM, confirmed by Central Pathology Review * Participant must have failed to achieve adequate symptom control for 1 or more Baseline symptoms, as determined by the Investigator, with at least 2 of the following symptom-directed therapies administered: H1 blockers, H2 blockers, proton-pump inhibitors, leukotriene inhibitors, cromolyn sodium, corticosteroids, or omalizumab. * Participants must have SDT for ISM symptom management stabilized for at least 14 days prior to starting screening procedures. * For participants receiving corticosteroids, the dose must be ≤ 20 mg/day prednisone or equivalent, and the dose must be stable for ≥ 14 days. Part K: -Participant has confirmed diagnosis of ISM, confirmed by Central Pathology Review Part S: -Participant has confirmed diagnosis of SSM, confirmed by Central Pathology Review of BM biopsy and central review of B- and C-findings by WHO diagnostic criteria. Part 2: -Participant has confirmed diagnosis of ISM, confirmed by Central Pathology Review Key Exclusion Criteria: * Participant has been diagnosed with any of the following WHO systemic mastocytosis (SM) sub-classifications: cutaneous mastocytosis only, SM with an associated hematologic neoplasm of non-MC lineage (SM-AHN), aggressive SM, mast cell leukemia, or mast cell sarcoma. * Participant has been diagnosed with another myeloproliferative disorder. * Participant has organ damage attributable to SM. * Participant has clinically significant, uncontrolled, cardiovascular disease * Participant has a QT interval corrected using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) \> \> 470 milliseconds (msec) (for females) or \> 450 msec (for males). * Participant has a history of a primary malignancy that has been diagnosed or required therapy within 3 years. The following prior malignancies are not exclusionary: completely resected basal cell and squamous cell skin cancer, curatively treated localized prostate cancer, and completely resected carcinoma in situ of any site. * Time since any cytoreductive therapy including masitinib and midostaurin should be at least 5 half-lives or 14 days (whichever is longer), and for cladribine, interferon alpha, pegylated interferon, or antibody therapy \< 28 days or 5 half-lives of the drug (whichever is longer), before beginning the screening period. * Participant has received radiotherapy or psoralen and ultraviolet A (PUVA) therapy \< 14 days before beginning the screening period.
