Completed
Conditions
Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor
Metastatic Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00764595
Lead Sponsor
Translational Research Center for Medical Innovation, Kobe, Hyogo, Japan
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of imatinib mesylate and to see how well it works in treating patients with liver metastasis from a gastrointestinal stromal tumor.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* To evaluate the safety and efficacy of imatinib mesylate in patients with resectable hepatic metastasis secondary to gastrointestinal stromal tumor.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression-free survival7.5 years

Progression-free survival is defined as time from date of starting protocol treatment until date of comfirmation of progressive disease (PD) by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.0 or death from any cause, whichever comes first.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Tumor response48 weeks

Tumor response is defined as best overall response by RECIST v1.0 from date of starting protocol treatment until 48 weeks after starting protocol treatment.

Overall survival7.5 years

Overall survival is defined as time from date of starting protocol treatment until date of death from any cause.

Types and severities of adverse events7.5 years

Types and severities of adverse events from date of starting protocol treatment until 30 days after date of finishing the treatment are evaluated according to Japanese version of the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0 (CTCAE v3.0) by Translational Research Informatics Center.
