Filter by:RATIONALE: Surgery may remove residual disease in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor that is responding to imatinib mesylate. It is not yet known whether surgery is more effective than continued imatinib mesylate in treating patients with metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying giving imatinib mesylate therapy together with surgery to see how well it works compared with imatinib mesylate alone in treating patients with metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor that is responding to imatinib mesylate.
RATIONALE: Studying the genes expressed in samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer may help doctors identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at tumor samples in patients undergoing treatment for gastrointestinal stromal tumors on clinical trial ACOSOG-Z9001.
Open-label, multicenter study of imatinib (400mg/die p.o.)in patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Patients will be treated for up to 12 months. Data regarding its best clinical use in terms of tumor response, survival, tolerability and safety profile will be prospectively collected.
This is a retrospective medical record abstraction to evaluate the patterns of care for Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) in the community setting. Patient demographics and characteristics along with the treatments received will be described. Investigators will establish the percentage of patients who undergo surgery, the percentage of patients who are treated with kinase inhibitors as well as in what setting (adjuvant or metastatic) as well as the duration of therapy. Physician information will also be collected to assess for differences in treatment based on physician or geographical differences.
This is a Phase II, non-randomized, open-label, multi-center study conducted in the USA. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the use of long term adjuvant imatinib mesylate in patients at significant risk for recurrence following complete resection of primary GIST.
Masitinib in First Line Treatment of Gastro-Intestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST)
To investigate safety and efficacy of single agent sunitinib malate in Chinese Patients With Imatinib Resistant Or Intolerant Malignant Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor.
This study will evaluate efficacy and safety of nilotinib versus imatinib in adult patients with unresectable or metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST).
This is a phase II study of Nilotinib for patients with advanced GIST that cannot be surgically removed. Patients are candidates for the study if their tumors have progressed on imatinib and sunitinib or if they were intolerant to these drugs. Patients may have received other investigational therapies as well. We are testing the benefit of nilotinib in advanced GIST looking at the length of time disease is controlled as well as the response of the disease to the drug.
To investigate bevacizumab in combination with carboplatin and capecitabine for patients with unresectable or metastatic GEJ or gastric cancers. We hope that by adding bevacizumab to standard chemotherapy for this patient population we will improve Progression Free Survival by 90% over historical controls.
