AYVAKIT® (avapritinib) is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with:
- A certain type of stomach, bowel, or esophagus cancer called gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) that cannot be treated with surgery or that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic), and that is caused by certain abnormal platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) genes. Your healthcare provider will perform a test to make sure that you have this abnormal PDGFRA gene and that AYVAKIT is right for you.
- Advanced systemic mastocytosis (AdvSM), including aggressive systemic mastocytosis (ASM), systemic mastocytosis with an associated hematological neoplasm (SM-AHN), and mast cell leukemia (MCL). AYVAKIT is not recommended for the treatment of AdvSM in people with low platelet counts (less than 50 x 109/L).
- Indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM). AYVAKIT is not recommended in people with low platelet counts (less than 50 X 109/L).

With the promise of precision medicine becoming a reality, broad molecular profiling has become standard of care for many cancer types – and is required for certain therapies. More than ever, oncologists need a trusted profiling partner to provide reliable, high-quality molecular profiling information to guide precise and individualized treatment decisions. Our comprehensive molecular profiling approach precisely analyzes DNA, RNA, and protein biomarkers, revealing the highest quality molecular blueprint for evidence-based selection of the most appropriate cancer therapy. In addition to comprehensive molecular profiling, Caris has innovated industry-leading artificial intelligence algorithms that predict patient responses to standard treatments, such as immunotherapy or chemotherapy, based on their personalized molecular profile. Caris is the original, most experienced comprehensive molecular profiling laboratory, and we have optimized our systems to provide industry-leading reports, service and turnaround time.
Caris molecular profiling helps oncologists:
Navigate among therapies with potential benefit
Identify therapies that may not have been considered
Determine drugs with potential lack of benefit (avoiding unnecessary toxicities and costs)
Match patients to clinical trials
Caris offers both a tissue-based and liquid (blood) assay. Please visit our website at www.carislifesciences.com for a full list of offerings.
