Clinical Trial Summary

This is a Phase 3 clinical study, which aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an investigational drug called pexidartinib for the treatment of certain tumors for which surgical removal could cause more harm than good.

The main purpose of this study is to gather information about the investigational drug pexidartinib, which may help to treat tumors of pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) or giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCT-TS).

The study consists of two parts with a follow-up period. In Part 1, eligible study participants will be assigned to receive either pexidartinib or matching placebo for 24 weeks. A number of assessments will be carried out during the course of the study, including physical examinations, blood tests, imaging studies, electrocardiograms, and questionnaires. MRI scans will be used to evaluate the response of the tumors to the treatment. Some subjects, assigned to placebo in Part 1 transitioned to pexidartinib for Part 2.

Then a protocol amendment was written to allow only pexidartinib patients to continue into Part 2. Part 2 is a long-term treatment phase in which all participants receive open-label pexidartinib. There was also a follow-up period added to Part 2.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria

1. Age = 18 years.

2. A diagnosis of PVNS or GCT-TS (i) that has been histologically confirmed either by a pathologist at the treating institution or a central pathologist, and (ii) where surgical resection would be associated with potentially worsening functional limitation or severe morbidity (locally advanced disease), with morbidity determined consensually by qualified personnel (eg, two surgeons or a multi-disciplinary tumor board).

3. Measurable disease of at least 2 cm and otherwise based on RECIST 1.1, assessed from MRI scans by a central radiologist.

4. Symptomatic disease because of active PVNS or GCT-TS, defined as one or more of the following:

1. a worst pain of at least 4 at any time during the week preceding the Screening Visit (based on scale of 0 to 10, with 10 representing "pain as bad as you can imagine").

2. a worst stiffness of at least 4 at any time during the week preceding the Screening Visit (based on a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 representing "stiffness as bad as you can imagine").

5. Stable prescription of analgesic regimen during the 2 weeks prior to randomization.

6. During the 2 weeks prior to randomization, at least 4 of 7 consecutive days of Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Worst Pain Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) items and Worst Stiffness NRS items completed correctly.

Other	Percentage of Participants With Symptomatic, Locally Advanced Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor (TGCT) Achieving Complete or Partial Response to Pexidartinib Compared With That of Placebo Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 by Week 49	Complete (CR) and partial responses (PR) were assessed based on centrally-read magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). A CR was defined as disappearance of all tumors and a PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target tumors using the baseline sum diameters as the reference.	By Week 49
Other	Mean Change From Baseline For Range of Motion (ROM) Score in Participants Receiving Pexidartinib Compared With Those on Placebo by Week 49	Range of motion (ROM) of the joint was assessed by a qualified, independent, and blinded or third-party assessors at the clinical site. Measurements were recorded in degrees. At baseline, the plane of movement with the smallest relative value (worst) was identified and this plane was used for evaluating the relative change of motion subsequently. Only the plane with the worst impaired ROM at baseline was selected for subsequent analyses.	By Week 49
Other	Mean Change From Baseline in the Patient-reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function Score in Participants Receiving Pexidartinib Compared With Those on Placebo by Week 49	The Patient-reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) physical function scale was used to assess physical function of the upper and lower limbs. The scale ranged from 1 defined as 'unable to do' or 'cannot do' to 5 defined as 'without any difficulty' or 'not at all', where higher scores represent better outcomes.	By Week 49
Other	Mean Change From Baseline for Worst Stiffness Numeric Rating Scale Score (NRS) in Participants Receiving Pexidartinib Compared With Those on Placebo by Week 49	The Worst Stiffness Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) was a 1-item, self-administered questionnaire assessing the "worst" stiffness in the last 24 hours. The NRS for this item ranged from 0 (no stiffness) to 10 (stiffness as bad as you can imagine).	Baseline, Week 25, and Week 49
Other	Mean Change From Baseline for Worst Pain Numeric Rating Scale Score (NRS) in Participants Receiving Pexidartinib Compared With Those on Placebo by Week 49	The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Worst Pain NRS was a 1-item, self-administered questionnaire assessing the "worst" pain in the last 24 hours.
