A Study to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of AT13387, Alone or in Combination With Imatinib, in Patients With GIST
United States26 participantsStarted 2011-03
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate if an investigational drug called AT13387 is active against Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) that is resistant to other treatments, and to understand more about the safety of AT13387.
Most subjects in the study will receive AT13387 along with another drug called imatinib (Gleevec). Imatinib is a standard (approved) drug for treating patients with GIST. Some patients may receive AT13387 on its own. As a result, we shall begin to understand the effects of AT13387 given on its own and when combined with imatinib.We shall also find out more about the side-effects of AT13387, and more about how the body breaks down (metabolizes) AT13387.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Ability to understand the risks of the study and to provide signed and dated informed consent and authorization to use protected health information (in accordance with national and local subject privacy regulations).
* Age 18 years or older.
* Unresectable and/or metastatic malignant GIST with objective progression of disease following treatment with a maximum of 3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) including imatinib. To clarify, it is the number of TKIs - up to a maximum of three agents, including imatinib - that is the criterion for entry, not the number of prior courses of TKI treatment.
* Measurable disease.
* ECOG performance status 0 or 1.
* Negative blood or urine pregnancy test (within 7 days prior to commencing treatment), or documented evidence of surgical sterility, or natural or treatment-induced post-menopausal status with last menses \>1 year ago.
* Willing to provide a tissue block or unstained slides of archived tumour for central pathology review and genotyping, or a full pathology report and results of genotyping of a previous tumour sample, or willing to undergo a new tumour biopsy for central pathology review and genotyping during the screening period of the study (prior to dosing)
Exclusion Criteria:
* Pregnancy or lactation (women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days prior to commencing treatment ). Male and female patients of childbearing potential must use appropriate birth …
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
