Management of tenosynovial giant cell tumor: approved and investigational therapies

Pexidartinib and vimseltinib demonstrate comparable efficacy in TGCT with objective response rates (ORR) of 39% and 40%, respectively, at week 25 of treatment; however, vimseltinib offers improved hepatic safety and tolerability, supporting its use as the preferred first-line systemic therapy. Emerging agents, including pimicotinib and emactuzumab, show potential for higher response rates and favorable safety profiles and may further reshape the TGCT treatment paradigm pending phase 3 trial results.

Abstract

Pexidartinib and vimseltinib demonstrate comparable efficacy in TGCT with objective response rates (ORR) of 39% and 40%, respectively, at week 25 of treatment; however, vimseltinib offers improved hepatic safety and tolerability, supporting its use as the preferred first-line systemic therapy. Emerging agents, including pimicotinib and emactuzumab, show potential for higher response rates and favorable safety profiles and may further reshape the TGCT treatment paradigm pending phase 3 trial results.
