Neoadjuvant Pimicotinib Combined With Surgery Versus Upfront Surgery for Diffuse Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor

Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) is a rare neoplasm predominantly occurring in young and middle-aged adults, characterized by high recurrence and high disability rates. Surgery represents the first-line treatment at present. Although surgical resection can eradicate lesions, repeated surgical interventions constitute the major disease-related burden. Particularly for patients with diffuse-type TGCT (D-TGCT), postoperative recurrence rates can exceed 50%. Pimicotinib is a highly selective colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) inhibitor. The phase III MANEUVER trial has verified its prominent tumor shrinkage effect and symptomatic improvement in patients with unresectable, symptomatic TGCT, with an objective response rate (ORR) of 54%. In addition, pimicotinib demonstrates a favorable safety profile; most adverse events are mild in severity, mainly including pruritus, edema, fatigue and elevated creatine kinase, without severe hepatotoxicity. Neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgery falls within the scope of multimodal treatment, which is mostly applied to recurrent and refractory cases rather than the standard upfront regimen for treatment-naive patients. Clinical case reports and real-world observations have preliminarily validated the feasibility and clinical value of sequential systemic targeted therapy followed by surgical resection. To date, systematic and standardized clinical data regarding neoadjuvant strategies remain scarce, especially randomized controlled evidence comparing neoadjuvant targeted therapy plus surgery versus primary upfront surgery. This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant pimicotinib combined with surgery versus upfront primary surgery in the management of D-TGCT, so as to generate evidence-based rationale for developing more effective and safe therapeutic regimens for D-TGCT.

Study of Vimseltinib (DCC-3014) in Patients With Advanced Tumors and Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor

This is a multicenter, open-label Phase 1/2 study of vimseltinib in patients with malignant solid tumors and tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT). There will be 2 distinct parts in this study: Dose Escalation (Phase 1) and Expansion (Phase 2). Phase 1 will enroll both malignant solid tumor and TGCT patients. Phase 2 will comprise two cohorts (Cohort A and Cohort B) and will only enroll TGCT patients.

Study of Vimseltinib for Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor

This is a multicenter Phase 3 clinical study, which aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an investigational drug called vimseltinib for the treatment of tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) in cases where surgical removal of the tumor is not an option. The study consists of two parts. In Part 1, eligible study participants will be assigned to receive either vimseltinib 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. Participants assigned to placebo in Part 1 will have the option to receive vimseltinib for Part 2. Part 2 is a long-term treatment phase in which all participants receive open-label vimseltinib.
