aLOTs without a tryptase measurement at baseline or in the specified time window and LOTs with unknown discontinuation and last prescription date were excluded from the serum tryptase analyses.

bStabilized weights were generated using the following baseline characteristics: age, sex, region, ECOG score, anemia (hemoglobin <10 g/dl), thrombocytopenia (platelet count <100 × 109/l), AdvSM subtype, skin involvement, leukocyte count of 16 × 109/l or higher, serum tryptase level of 125 ng/ml or higher, number of mutated genes within the SRSF2/ASXL1/RUNX1 gene panel, number of prior LOTs, and prior use of tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy.

cFor the BAT cohort, the serum tryptase level at 2 months was calculated as the serum tryptase level closest to 60 days (±11 days) from the LOT start date, which corresponds to the 3 day 1 of cycle (C3D1) assessment in the EXPLORER and PATHFINDER trials. For avapritinib patients, serum tryptase level at 2 months was defined as the measurement taken at the C3D1 assessment.
