| BIO-CSF1R | CSF1R pathway activation — diffuse-type TGCT (COL6A3-CSF1 fusion OR CSF1 overexpression; pexidartinib indication does not require molecular confirmation of fusion) | IA |
| Pexidartinib (PLX3397), a CSF1R/KIT/FLT3 inhibitor, is FDA-approved (August 2019) for adult patients with symptomatic tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) associated with severe morbidity or functional limitations not amenable to improvement with surgery. ILLUMINATE phase III trial (Tap et al., Lancet 2019): N=120 (pexidartinib vs placebo, crossover design); primary endpoint ORR at week 25 by RECIST 1.1 and TTP-MRI. ORR: 38% (RECIST) vs 0% placebo (p<0.0001); 56% by TTP-MRI vs 0%. mDOR: not reached at median 23.1 months follow-up. Clinical benefit rate: 56%. Safety: significant hepatotoxicity (cholestatic hepatitis, including one fatal case in open-label extension); ALT/AST elevations in ~51%; FDA REMS program mandatory. EMA approved for same indication (2020). No biomarker companion diagnostic required — all TGCT patients are eligible based on clinical criteria (symptomatic, surgery-resistant). CSF1R IHC or COL6A3-CSF1 fusion testing is not required for treatment initiation. | pexidartinib 400 mg PO BID (with food; REMS enrollment required; baseline LFTs, monthly monitoring for first 8 weeks, then every 3 months) |
