简要总结
An observational, multicenter study will be performed. Regular 3-12 monthly follow-up by CT-scan will be compared to results of ctDNA analysis. Blood for analysis of mutation in ctDNA will be collected at the same moment a CT-scan is performed. All samples will be analyzed at the reference Pathology laboratory at the UMCG. A part of the samples will also be analyzed in other institutions to implement the ddPCR. Primary endpoint is concordance between CT-scan and ctDNA analysis results, from which the negative predictive value (NPV) of our ddPCR assay will be calculated.
详细描述
This is an observational, non-interventional, multicenter study. The study will be performed within the Dutch GIST consortium (NKI-AvL, Erasmus MC, Radboud UMC, LUMC and UMCG). Patients diagnosed with GIST with a KIT exon 11 mutations that can be detected by our ddPCR assay are eligible. In this way we will study a homogenous patient population with GIST that (usually) responds very well to initial TKI treatment. Therefore, the KIT mutation status must be known. Patients can enter the study at any time point of their disease trajectory. Patients included in GALLOP-11 will have follow-up as described in the European Society of Medical Oncology and Dutch guidelines but with blood draws for ctDNA assessment at similar time points.
The primary objective is the negative predictive value (NPV) of the ddPCR assay result in relation to the results of the CT-scan and/or MRI scan (according to RECIST 1.1) at the same time point. Concordance of these results will be determined, from which the negative predictive value (NPV) of our ddPCR assay will be calculated. This is considered the most important value, as the most harmful scenario would be to miss progressive disease because not seen on ctDNA while it could have been seen on CT (and/or MRI). That would mean that ctDNA analysis is not reliable enough to replace CT-scan (and/or MRI) follow-up in the future.
To determine the negative predictive value, at least 250 patients need to have an evaluable follow-up strategy. To pursue a solid follow-up period within an achievable timeline, patients with at least four ctDNA measurements, accompanied by a CT-scan (and/or MRI scan), will be considered evaluable for the NPV analysis. Patients who have progression within four scans are always evaluable, since a positive outcome outweighs negative outcomes because it is known that ctDNA should have had measured change once it is seen on CT-scans (and/or MRI scans).
