How it works

  • Enroll online

    Get started by filling out the online enrollment application to find out if you are eligible for assistance.

  • Pre-qualification

    NiceRx verifies your eligibility for medication assistance and notifies you if you are pre-qualified. The pharmaceutical company provides your medication for free, and you only pay our service fee.

  • Submit documents

    We will request documents to be submitted by you and your healthcare provider that are required by the pharmaceutical company to complete your enrollment.

  • Receive medication

    Once approved, the pharmaceutical company typically ships a 90-day supply of medication to your home or healthcare provider’s address. Final acceptance is determined by the pharmaceutical company.

Am I eligible for the Ayvakit patient assistance program?

We will review your application to determine whether you are eligible for the Ayvakit patient assistance program. Each program has its own eligibility criteria which are set by the pharmaceutical companies, however, the factors considered by most programs are:

  • I am uninsured or my insurance doesn’t cover my medication
  • I meet certain income eligibility requirements

How do I apply for the Ayvakit patient assistance program?

We make it as easy as possible to apply for the Ayvakit patient assistance program. The first step is to complete our enrollment application. Tell us about any medications you are taking, including Ayvakit. We will also ask for details about your healthcare provider, insurance, and your household income. This information is required by the pharmaceutical manufacturers who ship your medication.

If we determine that you may be eligible for Ayvakit assistance, we will handle the application process for you. We will work directly with your healthcare provider to prepare your application documents. Once we have received the signed application and supporting documents, we will submit them to the patient assistance program on your behalf. Our service continues once you are enrolled in the Ayvakit patient assistance program, and we will automatically request your Ayvakit medication refills for up to 1 year.

What is Ayvakit?

Ayvakit is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Blueprint Medicines Corporation. Ayvakit is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used to treat:

  • Adult patients with unresectable or metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) harboring a platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) exon 18 mutation, including PDGFRA D842V mutations
  • Advanced systemic mastocytosis (AdvSM), including aggressive systemic mastocytosis (ASM), systemic mastocytosis with an associated hematological neoplasm (SM-AHN), and mast cell leukemia (MCL)

AdvSM is a rare hematologic disorder caused in most cases by the KIT D816V mutation. Ayvakit is not recommended for the treatment of AdvSM in people with low platelet counts.

What doses of Ayvakit are available?

Ayvakit is available in tablet form, in the following doses: 100 mg, 200 mg, and 300 mg.

Patients are selected for treatment based on the presence of a PDGFRA exon 18 mutations. The recommended dose is 300 mg orally once daily on an empty stomach. Take Ayvakit at least one hour before and two hours after a meal.

Please see the full prescribing information and patient information for Ayvakit, and always speak with a healthcare professional about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
