AYVAKIT (avapritinib) is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved by the FDA in January 2020 for the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) and other kinase-driven malignancies. It works by selectively inhibiting platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα) and other receptor tyrosine kinases, blocking aberrant signaling that drives tumor growth. The drug represents a targeted precision medicine approach for patients with specific genetic mutations.
