Avapritinib, sold under the brand name Ayvakit, is a medication used to treat systemic mastocytosis and gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).[2] In GIST it is used for cases with a platelet-derived growth factor receptor A (PDGFRA) exon 18 mutation.[2] It is taken by mouth.[2]

Common side effects nausea, tiredness, low red blood cells, swelling, high bilirubin, diarrhea, and forgetfulness.[1] Other side effects may include pleural effusion and intracranial bleeding.[2][1] Use in pregnancy may harm the baby.[2] It is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that blocks the activity of PDGFRA.[1]

Avapritinib was approved for medical use in the United States and Europe in 2020.[2][1] In the United Kingdom a month costs the NHS about £26,700 as of 2021.[3] This amount in the United States costs about 34,200 USD.[4]
