Resistance to avapritinib in PDGFRA-driven GIST is caused by secondary mutations in the PDGFRA kinase domain. (PubMed, Cancer Discov)
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) harboring activating mutations of PDGFRA respond to imatinib with the notable exception of the most common mutation, D842V. Notably, most PDGFRA-mutant GIST refractory to avapritinib remain dependent on the PDGFRA oncogenic signal. Inhibitors that target PDGFRA protein stability or inhibition of PDGFRA-dependent signaling pathways may overcome avapritinib resistance.
