Surgery for Locally Unresectable Advanced GISTs Without Metastasis After Imatinib Therapy

Completed
Conditions
Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor
Registration Number
NCT01865565
Lead Sponsor
Chang Gung Memorial Hospital
Brief Summary

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are a form of sarcoma and the most common sarcoma tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. The limited clinical experience suggests that GIST patients may benefit from neo-adjuvant therapy from primary GIST. This is a prospective, multicenter, open, observational study in evaluation of safety and efficacy of imatinib compared with that of historical data for locally unresectable advanced GIST without metastasis. The study will include an up to 28-day screening period, followed by receiving imatinib mesylate (400 mg/day) for at least 6-12 months and followed up for 3 years after surgery.

Detailed Description

Primary Objective

* To observe the safety of imatinib compared with that of historical data for locally unresectable advanced GIST without metastasis.

Secondary Objective

* Progression-free survival (PFS) in resected patients during follow up

* R0 resection rate

* objective response rate, tumor shrinkage rate

* Correlation of mutation status with response

* Correlation of PK with response

* Surgical morbidity and mortality and safety follow up

* Quality of life

* Overall survival (OS)

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
progression free survivalfive years

Evidence of measurable disease according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines with CT scan.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Surgical morbidity and mortality and safety follow upfive years

surgical morbidity: morbidity related to surgical procedure surgical mortality: mortality related to surgical procedure safety: adverse events related imatinib according to NIH toxicity evaluation criteria

Overall survival (OS)five years

Overall survival (OS) will be measured from after administration of imatinib mesylate and death as the end point of the study, whatever the cause. Alive patients will be censored at the date of last follow-up. Causes of death will be recorded.
