New hope for rare blood cancer: experimental drug targets mast cells
NCT ID NCT04996875
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests an experimental drug called CGT9486 (bezuclastinib) in people with advanced systemic mastocytosis, a rare and serious blood disorder. The drug aims to control the disease by blocking a key protein that drives abnormal mast cell growth. About 140 adults with aggressive forms of the disease will receive the drug to see if it is safe and effective.

Diagnosed with or treated for malignancy other than the disease under study within the prior 3 years before enrollment 8. Received any cytoreductive therapy or any investigational agent less than 14 days, and for cladribine, interferon alpha, pegylated interferon, and any antibody therapy less than 28 days, before screening bone marrow biopsy 9. Received hematopoietic growth factor support within 14 days before the first dose of study drug 10. Received strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers within 14 days or 5 drug half-lives, whichever is longer, before the first dose of study drug 11. Need for treatment with high dose steroids Key Inclusion Criteria for Substudy Population: Rollover Cohort 1. Demonstrate AHN progression requiring immediate AHN-directed therapy while receiving bezuclastinib 2. Demonstrated clinical benefit from bezuclastinib therapy 3. Have clinically acceptable local laboratory screening results (clinical chemistry, hematology) within certain limits High-Risk Cohort 1. Receiving or indicated for AHN-directed therapy. 2. Diagnosed with one of the following pathologic diagnoses of SM-AHN: 1. Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that is high- or very high-risk 2. Accelerated phase myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) 3. MDS with excessive blasts in bone marrow or peripheral blood 4. Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia-2 (CMML-2) 3. Have clinically acceptable local laboratory screening results (clinical chemistry, hematology) within certain limits. Key Exclusion Criteria for Substudy Population: 1. Diagnosis of Philadelphia chromosome-positive malignancy 2. Diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) 3. Appropriate for allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation 4. Any contraindication to selected concomitant therapy 5. Rollover Cohort: Have not demonstrated acceptable tolerability of previous bezuclastinib therapy 6. High-Risk Cohort: Previously treated with investigational therapy for AdvSM 7. High-Risk Cohort: Previously treated with cytoreductive therapy and discontinued due to treatment-related toxicity 8. High-Risk Cohort: Received any cytoreductive therapy or any investigational agent less than 14 days, and for cladribine, interferon alpha, pegylated interferon, and any antibody therapy less than 28 days, before screening or archival bone marrow biopsy
