Filter by:To achieve optimal clinical outcomes with imatinib in GIST patients, it is crucial to maintain standard imatinib dose. Skin rash is a relatively common and sometimes severe adverse event of imatinib in GIST patients and may affect imatinib compliance. Our previous retrospective study suggested that severe skin rash induced by imatinib can be managed by systemic steroid without imatinib dose interruption or reduction. This phase II study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of systemic steroid in GIST patients with imatinib-associated severe skin rash.
we aim to evaluate the efficacy of L-carnitine for the treatment of muscle cramps after imatinib in patients with GIST and apply in the future.
The study investigates response assessment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors using Dual Energy CT (DECT) in patients undergoing targeted therapy with a TKI Inhibitor.
This is a 2-arm, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, international, multicenter study comparing the efficacy of ripretinib (DCC-2618) to placebo in patients who have received treatment with prior anticancer therapies. Prior anticancer therapies must include imatinib, sunitinib, and regorafenib (3 prior therapies). Approximately 120 patients were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to ripretinib 150 mg QD or placebo
Primary objective is to assess the efficacy of combined Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and PD-1 inhibition in a single arm phase II trial of epacadostat and pembrolizumab in patients with advanced imatinib-refractory GIST, using a primary endpoint of overall response rate. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the progression free survival (PFS), the overall survival (OS), the response rate and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of combined epacadostat and pembrolizumab treatment. The investigator hypothesizes that treatment with epacadostat and pembrolizumab will increase the response rate compared to what has been historically achieved with salvage tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
Patients with gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors will receive robotic resection.
This is a non-randomized, open-label, multicenter phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ponatinib in patients with metastatic and/or unresectable GIST after prior failure or intolerability of imatinib. Patients will be enrolled into 1 of 2 cohorts based on absence (Cohort A) or presence (Cohort B) of KIT exon 13 resistance mutations as measured by liquid biopsy. A third cohort (Cohort C) will include patients who have received all approved lines of TKI treatments (imatinib, sunitinib and regorafenib).
Background: Wild-type gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a cancer in the esophagus, stomach, or intestines. It does not respond well to standard chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Most people with GIST are treated with imatinib. But it may not work in many children with GIST. Researchers think the drug SGI-110 may help treat people with GIST, pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PHEO/PGL), or kidney cancer related to hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC). Objective: To learn if SGI-110 causes GIST tumors to shrink or slows their growth. Also to test how it acts in the body. Eligibility: People ages 12 and older who have GIST, PHEO/PGL, or HLRCC that has not responded to other treatments Design: Participants will be screened with: - Physical exam - Urine tests - Computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) scan: A machine takes pictures of the body. - Blood tests Participants will be injected with SGI-110 under the skin each day for 5 days. This cycle will repeat every 28 days. The cycles repeat until their side effects get too bad or their cancer gets worse. Participants will have tests throughout study: - Physical exam and blood and urine tests before each cycle - Blood tests on days 1, 7, 14, and 28 of the first cycle. - Scans before cycle 1 and then every other cycle. - Questionnaires about their pain and quality of life - Tumor biopsy for those 18 and older: A needle removes a small piece of tumor. After they stop treatment, participants will have a final visit. This includes an evaluation of their health, pain, and quality of life. ...
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of the combination of pexidartinib and MEK162. This study tests different doses of pexidartinib in combination with different doses of MEK162 to see which dose combination of these drugs is safe and best tolerated in people.
This is an open label, multi-center, and randomized phase II trial designed to compare the safety and efficacy of direct oral anticoagulants and subcutaneous dalteparin in patients with acute venous thromboembolism and upper gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, or pancreatic cancer, based on a group sequential design. Enrolled patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio. Patients will be stratified by performance status, type of cancer, chemotherapy and medical centers.
