•Age : older than 18 years at Visit 1
•Histologically confirmed diagnosis of GIST that is unresectable and/or metastatic
and therefore not amenable to surgery or combined modality with curative intent
prior to or at Visit 1
•Radiological (CT/MRI) confirmation of disease progression (RECIST criteria) during imatinib therapy
•At least one measurable site of disease on CT/MRI scan at Visit 2, as defined by
RECISTcriteria (see Post Text Suppl 3 for details)
•WHO Performance Status of 0, 1 or 2 at Visit 1 and 2
•Patients must have normal organ, electrolyte, and marrow function at Visit 1 and
Visit 2
•Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range
•Prior treatment with nilotinib or any other tyrosine kinase inhibitors or targeted agents with exception of imatinib and sunitinib
•Treatment with any cytotoxic and/or investigational cytotoxic drug = 4 weeks (6
weeks for nitrosurea or mitomycin C) prior to Visit 1 with the exception of imatinib
and sunitinib targeted therapy
•Prior or concomitant malignancies (primary tumor or a relapse diagnosed and treated in the last 5 years) other than GIST with the exception of previous or concomitant
basal cell skin cancer or previous cervical carcinoma in situ
•Impaired cardiac function at Visit 1 or 2

potential to prolong the QT interval
•Patients who have undergone major surgery = 2 weeks prior to Visit 1 or who
have not recovered from side effects of such therapy
Patients who have received wide field radiotherapy = 4 weeks or limited field
radiation for palliation < 2 weeks prior to Visit 1 or who have not recovered from
side effects of such therapy

Name Time Method Main Objective: To evaluate whether the efficacy of nilotinib is superior to imatinib as measured by progression free survival;Secondary Objective: •To compare the response rate and time to response of nilotinib with imatinib using<br> modified RECIST criteria to assess response<br><br>•To compare overall survival of nilotinib with imatinib<br> <br>•To assess the safety and tolerability of nilotinib as measured by rate and severity<br> of adverse events <br>;Primary end point(s): Progression free survival (PFS)
