RESPONSE EVALUABLE

At 1 year, AYVAKYT met the primary endpoint with an ORR of 60% in PATHFINDER1*

In evaluable Advanced SM patients who received at least one prior systemic therapy and a starting dose of 200 mg (n=47):1**

Graph 60% ORR n=28

*The null hypothesis ORR of 28% versus the alternative hypothesis, ORR of 50%, a one-sided type I error rate of 0.025 and a sample size of approximately 63 patients in cohort 1 were determined to have 93.5% power using the exact one-sample binomial test.3
**Based on data cut: 20 April 2021.4

AYVAKYT demonstrated efficacy across all Advanced SM subtypes1

Graph 63% ORR n=5
Graph 66% ORR n=19
Graph 40% ORR n=4

Of particular note is the strong efficacy in SM-AHN, as this is a common subtype of Advanced SM seen in clinical practice5

RESPONSE EVALUABLE

Secondary endpoints: AYVAKYT demonstrated rapid responses that deepen over time1

Patients who received AYVAKYT at a starting dose of 200 mg once daily:1

Graph Duration of response (DOR)

†Includes CR, CRh, PR and clinical improvement.
‡Estimated from Kaplan-Meier analysis.
CR=complete response; CRh=complete remission with partial haematological recovery; DOR=duration of response; PR=partial response

SAFETY POPULATION

Over 65% of patients achieved at least 50% reduction in mast cell burden across the 1-year analysis1

Among Advanced SM patients treated with AYVAKYT at a starting dose of 200 mg once daily following prior systemic therapy:1

88.1%

≥50% reduction in serum tryptase level [n=67]§

83.1%

≥50% reduction in bone marrow mast cells [n=65]

60.0%

≥35% reduction in spleen volume from baseline [n=65]

68.7%

≥50% reduction in KIT D816V MAF in blood [n=67]

§To achieve a CR and CRh, serum tryptase had to be <20 ng/mL if the baseline value was ≥40 ng/mL.3
MAF=mutant allele function

RESPONSE EVALUABLE

AYVAKYT achieved durable overall response in organ function over 4 years2

In evaluable Advanced SM patients who received at least one prior systemic therapy (n=53; median follow-up duration was 51.8 months):2*

Donut chart: 66% ORR (n=35)

AYVAKYT demonstrated response across all Advanced SM subtypes, with ORRs of 75% (n=6), 67% (n=22) and 58% (n=7) in ASM, SM-AHN and MCL, respectively2

*Based on data cut: 13 March 2025.2
**Based on the full population of evaluable patients with at least one prior systemic therapy (n=53).2
†Includes CR, CRh, PR and clinical improvement.2

RESPONSE EVALUABLE
SAFETY POPULATION WITH AT LEAST 1 PST

AYVAKYT prolonged overall survival in Advanced SM2

In response-evaluable patients who received at least one prior systemic therapy (n=53):2*

Median PFS 48 months

[95% CI: 31, 62]

Median PFS was not reached in patients with ASM or MCL

In the safety population who received at least one prior systemic therapy (n=69):2*

Median OS 60 months

[95% CI: 48, NR]

Median OS was not reached in patients with ASM or MCL, and those with low and intermediate MARS score.‡ Patients with a high MARS score (n=41) had a median OS of 48 months (95% CI: 23, NR)

‡MARS is a five-variable prognostic score using one point each for age >60 years, anaemia (haemoglobin <10 g/dL), thrombocytopenia (platelets <100 x 109/L), one S/A/R mutation, and one additional point for ≥2 S/A/R mutations; low score = 0–1, intermediate score = 2, high score = 3–5.7
MARS, mutation-adjusted risk score; NR, not reached; OS, overall survival; PFS, progression-free survival

SAFETY POPULATION

Over 80% of patients achieved at least 50% reduction in mast cell burden across the 4-year analysis2

Reductions in objective biomarkers of disease were observed in the safety population with baseline and post-baseline assessments:§

§Available n=107 for serum tryptase and KIT D816V measurement; available n=105 for spleen volume and bone marrow mast cells measurement.
VAF=variant allele fraction.
