MANEUVER: A Phase III study of pimicotinib to assess efficacy and safety in tenosynovial giant cell tumor patients.

Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) is a rare, locally invasive soft tissue tumor arising from the synovium of joints, bursa and tendon sheaths and is associated with the overexpression of the colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1) gene. Pimicotinib is an orally available, highly selective and potent small molecule CSF-1 receptor (CSF-1R) inhibitor with robust efficacy and safety profile in patients with TGCT and is under development in multiple diseases. In an open-label Phase I study in patients with TGCT not amenable to surgery, pimicotinib showed superior efficacy and safety. In this article, we elucidate the rationale and study design of the multi-region Phase III MANEUVER trial (NCT05804045), which is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of pimicotinib in patients with TGCT not amenable to surgical resection in Asia, North America and Europe.
