of spontaneous amenorrhea) or premenopausal with documented surgical sterilization
(tubal ligation, hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy), or
evidence of non-childbearing status for women of childbearing potential (negative
serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin pregnancy test) within 3 days of study
treatment initiation

use a highly effective method of contraception for the course of the study through 6
weeks after the last dose of avapritinib.
- Males with female partners of reproductive potential must either abstain from sexual
intercourse or they and their partners must use a highly effective method of
contraception when engaging in sexual intercourse for the course of the study through
30 days after the last dose of study treatment
Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-resistant CKIT mutation V654A or T670I

compression, or symptomatic or unstable brain metastases. Note: Patients with stable
brain metastases (defined as asymptomatic or no requirement for high-dose or
increasing dose of systemic corticosteroids and without imminent need of radiation
therapy) are eligible (including those with untreated brain metastases). If
applicable, patients must have completed brain radiation therapy and recovered
adequately from any associated toxicity and/or complications prior to eligibility
assessment. For patients who have received prior radiation therapy, post-treatment
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan should show no increase in brain lesion
size/volume
- History of documented congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association functional
classification III-IV) or serious cardiac arrhythmias requiring treatment
- QT interval corrected using Fridericia's formula of > 470 msec
- Is currently participating or has participated in a study of an investigational agent
or has used an investigational device within 2 weeks prior to study treatment
initiation
- Prior anticancer chemotherapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy,
radiation therapy, or surgery within 2 weeks prior to study treatment initiation.
- NOTE: Patients must have recovered from all adverse events (AEs) due to previous
therapies to =< grade 1 or baseline (except alopecia). Patients with Grade =2
neuropathy are eligible
- NOTE: If patient received major surgery, she/he must have recovered adequately
from the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention prior to study
treatment initiation

Patients with basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin,
