Filter by:Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) is the most common mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract, and the incidence rate in China has increased year by year in recent years.Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are not sensitive to radiotherapy and traditional infusion chemotherapy. Currently, they are generally treated with surgery, but they are prone to recurrence and metastasis.For nodules with a particle size between 2 and 5 cm, there may be both benign and malignant, and there is still a lack of fast and accurate methods for distinguishing benign and malignant.Many benign nodules were removed (in the pathological examination of postoperative resected tissue). In addition, if it is found to be late, there is a possibility of invading surrounding tissues and metastasis, so that it is impossible to cure. Therefore, early diagnosis and early surgery and benign and malignant differentiation of small nodules are the key to the clinical diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors.At present, second-generation gene sequencing (NGS) and liquid biopsy are rarely reported in the field of GIST. A few domestic and foreign studies have found that it can detect rare mutation types, and may find secondary gene mutations early, which has potential applicability, but Overall, the clinical guidance of these NGS-based studies focuses on prognosis and drug resistance , as well as some studies based on low-throughput platforms. Therefore, early diagnosis and benign and malignant discrimination based on high-throughput sequencing and liquid biopsy have significant clinical significance for the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
This is a single-arm, two cohort, open label phase I/II clinical trial studying the combination of oral imatinib 400 mg, once daily, and oral selinexor given once weekly (Cohort A); and single-agent oral selinexor 60 mg BIW (Cohort B). The study will consist of: - Cohort A: an initial escalation phase (Ib) evaluating increasing doses of selinexor in combination with fixed doses of imatinib administered in repeated 28-day cycles in advanced/metastatic, imatinib-resistant GIST patients, followed by an expansion phase (II) testing for safety and preliminary evidence of antitumor activity - Cohort B: single-agent, fixed selinexor dose in the same target population
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) compose approximately 20% of soft tissue sarcomas with an annual incidence of approximately 7 per million population. GISTs occur throughout the GI tract, most commonly in the stomach or small intestine. The main treatment for localised GIST is surgical resection. At least 40% of these patients will develop recurrence or metastasis following complete resection. Local recurrence, liver metastases and/or dissemination within the abdominal cavity are the most common clinical manifestations. Although imatinib and sunitinib has greatly improved the quality of life and survival of patients with advanced GIST. Analysis of clinical trials revealed that patients with tumours with KIT exon 17 or 18 mutations, with a second mutation in KIT exon 17 or 18, had worse responses to imatinib and sunitinib. Some patients with PDGFRA D842V mutation do not respond to the present standard therapies. Anlotinib (1-[[[4-(4-fluoro-2-methyl-1H-indol-5-yloxy)-6-methoxyquinolin-7-Yl] oxy] methyl]cyclopropanamine dihydrochloride) , a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), characterized as a highly selective and potent c-KIT, VEGFR, PDGFR, FGFR inhibitor. In vitro and in vivo, Anlotinib has a broad spectrum of inhibitory action on tumor angiogenesis and growth, which showed broad activity against soft tissue sarcoma and GIST with D842V, D816H, V560G and V654A mutations. In 2015, the US FDA granted orphan drug treatment for ovarian cancer.
This study evaluates the combination of entacapone and imatinib in the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal Tumors who have progressed on the setting of at least Imatinib and Sunitinib. 5 participants will be included in this open-label observatory study.
This study was a Phase Ib, multi-center, open-label study of TNO155 in combination with spartalizumab or ribociclib with a dose escalation part followed by a dose expansion part in adult subjects with advanced solid tumors. These two treatment arms enrolled subjects in parallel to characterize the safety, tolerability, PK, PD and preliminary antitumor activity. The study treatment was administered until the subject experienced unacceptable toxicity, progressive disease, and/or had treatment discontinued at the discretion of the Investigator or the subject, or due to withdrawal of consent.
Gastro intestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are rare mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract characterized by somatic mutations in the gene encoding the KIT or the PDGFR alpha protein1. Treatment of localized forms relies on adequate surgery without tumor spillage and systemic treatment with imatinib according to risk of relapse defined by localization, tumor size and mitotic count, as well as mutational status. Advanced and relapsing forms are currently treated with oral tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKI) of KIT and PDGFR such as Imatinib, Sunitinib and Regorafenib. Over two decades significant changes in drug discovery have impacted treatment strategies, notably via patient's access to various clinical trials. The use of focal treatments such as surgery or interventional radiology with mini invasive procedure of oligometastasis is also being proposed in some cases. There is no precise data on patterns of sequential treatments used, especially proportions of patients with metastatic GIST eventually benefiting from access to a clinical trial or a focal treatment strategy in the course of their disease, and their results in terms of survival on a real life national level. Using the French sarcoma Group national database we aim at describing treatments strategies proposed patients with metastatic GIST in the real life setting. Objectives include : (i) Description of clinico-biological profiles, patterns of care and modalities of treatment of patients with metastatic GIST in a real-life national setting and (ii) evaluation of impact of each treatment line on patients outcome in terms of time to next treatment (TNT) and survival
With the development of KIT mutation and KIT tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib (GlivecTM, Novartis), survival of patients with advanced and/or metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) has significantly improved. Recently, sunitinib (SuteneTM, Pfizer) and regorafenib (StivargaTM, Bayer) have been proven to be effective as second- and third-line treatment, respectively in GIST patients who failed to imatinib treatment. However, almost all patients eventually experience disease progression due to the development of drug resistance to first-line imatinib, second-line sunitinib treatment, and third-line regorafenib. Historic data suggest that GISTs do not respond to conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy, but systematic unbiased screening has not been performed. A recent large-scaled chemotherapy susceptibility screening with GIST cells showed that among a total of 89 chemotherapies, 37 have anti-cancer effect in at least one type of GIST cells. It was suggested that of these agents, transcriptional inhibitors and chemotherapies such as topoisomerase II, paclitaxel, and bortezomib would be effective. Based on this study result, Asan Medical Center has recently performed a phase II study for efficacy and safety evaluation of paclitaxel in patients with advanced and/or metastatic GIST after failure of at least imatinib and sunitinib. Although paclitaxel showed limited anti-tumor efficacy, it was more effective in patients with low P-glycoprotein expression. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of paclitaxel in patients with metastatic or advanced GIST with low P-glycoprotein expression after failure of at least imatinib, sunitinib and regorafenib.
Introduction: Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs) located in the jejunum or ileum (JI-GIST) are considered of worse prognosis compared to other locations. It has been suggested that this dogma should be revised. The aim of this study is to describe the characteristics of jejunoileal GISTs and its prognosis; and to compare them with gastric GISTs in the era of imatinib. Patients and methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical histories of all the patients diagnosed with GISTs between January 2000 and November 2016. Clinical and pathological data, as well recurrence, metastatic, disease-free survival (DFS) as overall (OS) rates of patients with JI-GIST or gastric GIST (G-GIST) were collected and compared.
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of surgical intervention in patients with focally progressive GISTs after imatinib treatment. The enrolled patients will be randomized to receive surgery following imatinib 400 milligram per day (MG/d) or only tyrosine kinase inhibitor (Imatinib 600 MG/d or Sunitinib 37.5 MG/d).
Gastric GISTs are rare neoplasms that require excision for cure. Although the feasibility of laparoscopic resection of gastric GIST less than 2cms has been established, the feasibility, safety and long-term efficacy of these techniques for larger lesions are unclear. Investigators hypothesized that laparoscopic resection of gastric GISTs even for larger lesions is feasible & results in low perioperative morbidity and an effective long-term control of the disease.
